Saint Mary's Health Care, Bariatric Program Bariatric Center

I felt that Dr. Kemmeter was a very kind and thoughtful person. I met with him for the surgery orientation and also had a hernia repair done by him. He was a wonderful surgeon for my hernia. Very warm, comfortable to talk with, and yet enjoy a few laughs too. I would highly reccommend him to anyone for any type of surgery that may need to be done. He makes you feel very relaxed and not worry when going into surgery.


On August 5th, I had the bariatric surgery done by laprascopic and everything went very well. I loved Dr. Kemmeter's personality and bedside manners. He cares about you as a special patient.

When I met Dr. Kemmeter, my first impression was that he looked very young. However, I also found him to be very informative, easy to talk with, and straight forward with all the facts--the risks as well as the benefits. He is a very sweet and caring Dr.--loved him. The team at MMPC are awesome. They are very helpful, caring, supportive, and encouraging every step of the way. They never make you feel rushed. The after care and good use of this tool is of the utmost importance and is stressed strongly. I can't thank the team at MMPC enough for their help and support and guidance. I feel that, with the tool which Dr. Kemmeter has provided me with and my own hard work, I have achieved a level of success which far exceeds anything than I had dreamed would actually be possible. I am amazed at the success I have had. What an incredible experience this has been, even with a few setbacks. There aren't words to express how much I appreciate Dr. Kemmeter for what he has done for me. This has been the best decision I've made. I have a much healthier life now since my surgery. I have the utmost highest respect and gratitude for all the people that have helped me at MMPC as well as my surgeon. I also have much appreciation for Anita and Bernie who have been especially caring and supportive, and an encouragement. They are a couple of angels in their own right, bless their hearts for all they do.

very young, it didn't change my mine dr. Paul knew what he was talking about. Office staff was great they took care of you. I think he is #1 in my book ever after care was great. MMpc has a great follow-up program after surgery.. There are no negative things to say about dr. paul

I have only met with my surgeon once so far, but he seemed easy to talk to and very nice. People I know that have had surgery with him before say he is great. I also know several anesthesiologists who have worked with him and say he does an excellent job.

My surgery went great. I felt very comfortable with my surgeon, and he is very kind and caring. The awesome thing I found out about him was that while I was in the hospital he went to a one year anniversary party for a friend of mine whose surgery he performed a year before mine. How great that he cares enough about his patients to do something like that.

My first impression of Dr. Kemmeter was that he had a great compassion for people with obesity problems. He really cares about his patients.

The staff at MMPC is very kind and helpful. They are also very busy.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience at MMPC with the doctor, surgeon and the staff.

The aftercare program was gone through in detail and was very easy to undersand.

He addressed the risks of surgery with care and concern for any questions my husband or myself had to ask.

I would rate Dr. Kemmeter as wonderful and caring...very qualified and kind. I can only speak at this time, for his surgical competence and I feel it will be wonderful. Bedside manner will come to pass as soon as the surgery is completed...I will post more at that time.

He is very knowledgeable and understanding of how difficult obesity can be. He is not trying to sell you. This is something you have to want to do for yourself. Seems to have ideals and really wants to help people with their weight loss efforts.

He seems very enthusiastic and glad to help you determine which method of weight loss is best for you.

The whole GHP weight loss clinic and Center for Health Excellence is wonderful. They are friendly, helpful and are truly genuine.

They emphasize after care like crazy and they do have a structured after care program.

They go over the risks of surgery several times and do no try to paint a pretty picture. They make the risks very clear.

I would give Dr. Kemmeter an A+. His surgical competence and bedside manner are both excellent.

Dr. Kemmeter is a very nice man. He explained things to me and answered all my questions. He didn't hurry me or make me feel like just another appt. He took his time and made sure i was comfortable. He spent a lot of time going over what i should expect and explaining what i would need to do after surgury. I would recommend him to anyone

I first met Dr. Kemmeter at the information meeting. I was very inpressed with how much he cared. I had my first appointment with him and he went over everything with me. He took care of all of my questions. His office staff are all super.

First impression of Dr Kemmeter was awsome! My first time was at a seminare given by him in my home town. Later I talked with him pre-op. He explained every thing and answered ALL my questions and more. He did not hold anything back regarding the possable complacations.

His office staff and all associates have been very friendly and helped all they could. They have taken care of all my insurance problems for me.

I can't speak of his skills from a personal viewpoint but have read many of his previous patients testamonials and find all of them to share my "first opinion". Because of this I am looking forward to the upcoming surgery.

Both there pre and post-op surgery programs appear to be first class.

I strongly believe, while surgerical competence is extremly important, bedside manner is of almost as much importance to help put the patient at ease. In my case Dr Kemmeter has put me at ease and I am looking forward to his skill as I have read about it.

I am sure there is some thing negative about the surgery, the Dr and the supportive staff but to this point I haven't found it.

My first impression was one that I thought he was very professional. I haven't had a chance to meet with him since the orientation he presented in August. His office staff are very helpful and concerned about your progress. What I liked least was the lack of contact with the doctor. Aftercare is very much emphasized, follow up is mandatory. I appreciate that. It makes me feel safer. The risks of surgery were address not only by the doctor at the orientation but also by every member of the staff from the dietician to the behaviorist. MMPC makes you meet with a whole team of professionals before and after surgery which is also good. I think my overall impression of the practice is very good.
