Southeast Bariatrics, PA Bariatric Center
My first impression of Dr Voellinger was really good. He explained the surgery,and the risks. Dr V. will answer any questions you may have,but you must pay attention becasue he speaks very quickly. My comfort level with Dr V grew each time I saw him. I felt very comfortable putting my life in his hands. His whole office staff is wonderful. They really made the process as smooth as it could be. There is nothing that I really disliked about Dr V. Future patients should know that sometimes you may have to wait awhile for your first appointmenthe(I think mine was two months) I now he is a man in demand but he will spend what time is need with you. Aftercare is a point that Dr V really pushes. I was impressed with his aftercare program. Dr V was very straight forward regarding the pros and cons of the surgery. He did not sugar coat anything. I think Dr V is a wonderful surgeon, that has helped me change my life. I was impressed by both his surgical competence and bedside manner. You rarely find both in a Dr!
My first impression was that he was just so nice and answered all my questions. He told me everything to expect and all the risk involved with the type of surgery that I have chosen. His office staff is just exceptional-they have been so kind and helpful throughout this whole process. They never made me feel like I was wasting their time or bothering them in any way. He has a very structured aftercare program to help me keep in line with the program and to reach my specific goals.
My first impression was he was straight forward and busy. :) When I went n after approval he was happy, explained things further and was very nice. During the procedure and the recovery time in the hospital, he visited me every day as well as a good portion of his staff and has a terrific bedside manner. I would recommend him to anyone considering to have this surgery. He is terrific.
Everyone at Southeast Bariatrics has been wonderful in trying to help locate my missing file (which was to be transfered from the Presbyterian Bariatric Center to Southeast Bariatrics and never showed up...it is now completely MIA). Steffney, Julie and Pamela were extremely friendly and helpful. I enjoyed meeting Dr. Voellinger and truly feel that he has a passion for what he does. He is very through (he requires a little more pre-op than some other drs.) But, I think he tries to provide each patient the most opportunity for success.
My first impression of Dr V was that he was a very sincere doctor who cared about his patients. He took the time to tell me the in's out's and good and ugly of it all. NOT to scare me but that I was well informed! The staff were very nice! They have gone out of their way to help me with issues. They have a wonderful program for both pre and post ops. I'm on hold right now TFN but when I am able to have this surgery I will be seeing Dr V again.
He's a blessing!!
My first impression of Dr. Voellinger was a good one. He appeared to have a warm personality. His office staff Jessica was wonderful throughout my whole process. She helped and made sure I had all my paperwork in. His nurse Julie also was very helpful too when she received my paperwork and getting my surgery date. I just had my surgery on 9/30/05 and had my first followup visit on 10/12/05. My second visit is on 10/26/05.
My personal rating for Dr. V. on a scale of 1 to 10 is a 10 so far.
I will do a followup as time goes on.
