Dr. Hoehn is a wonderful doctor. From the beginning, he was very uplifting and encouraging. The program he offers is all encompassing. I have been very pleased with the level of professionalism, care, and thouroughness of the practice. His staff is excellent. Each of them care about each patient - no small task. I never felt like a number and no question was ever too small. There wasn't anything I didn't like about him or his staff. Before the surgery he was very helpful in answering questions. During surgery he did a fabulous job! After surgery he was very supportive. I know this sounds impossible but it is true. The whole practice took me and my concerns seriously. Aftercare is a huge part of this program. If you aren't interested in follow up, look on. This program includes counseling, nutrition help, support group assistance, physical therapy advice, and regular follow up office visits. The aftercare program is organized to get you involved in each of these areas.
From the very beginning, prospective patients attend a session that provides a basic overview of information about the various types of surgery available. During this session, there is frank discussion about the risks of surgery. I tell people that my view of Dr. Hoehn is that he is trying to create a highly successful program in terms of the patient success rate rather that just numbers. I would rate Dr. Hoehn and his office staff a 10+. Dr. Hoehn, Nola, Billie, Linda, Dr. Sabopathy, the nutritionists, and the physical therapists THANKS FOR MY NEW LIFE!

My very first impression of Dr Hoen, was wow he's very serious, and very young. LOL I knew from the time I saw him, that he is the one that I wanted to do my surgery. I was actually at the Support Meeting checking out another Dr when Dr Hoen took the stand, and I knew that he is the one that I wanted to have. I ve had a consultation with him, and again very serious person, almost a perfectionist and that comforts me. I am still in the process of learning about the after care program. But it definately sounds like something I could use!!

Dr. Sabapathy really knows what he is doing. He is VERY well informed about this surgery, the emotional after effects, what your body goes through physically, and is very good about educating you. He helps you to think right about yourself and the world around you, it is the best gift he gives to you.

Dr. S was wonderful! He was very warm while talking to me, he didnt have that glassed over look that I have seen in other counselors. He was able to tell me about me from after 30 minutes of talking to me. We weren't talking about my life, just my plans for the surgery and the top 3 reasons why I wanted to have the surgery, and he was able to pin point me right to a T .. He was great !

I felt comfortable with him immediately. He really seems to know what he is talking about. I have only met with him once so my impression has not changed over time. The office is nice. There is nothing that I don't really like about Dr. Hoehn so far. I would say he seems very honest and straightforward. The aftercare is extremely emphasized and very structured. The risks of the surgery were laid out in a very straight forward manner. I would rate the experience so far very positively.

I was a little aprehensive at first. I thought how could this attractive doctor understand me and my problems with my weight and my physical appearance. Over time I have really opened up to him and he has to me also. He makes such a huge difference in peoples lives and I believe he truely grasps the position that he is in. He is a wonderful physician but also a good friend. I thank him every day of my life for being there for me.The whole solutions staff,nurses and everyone affiliated with the program are an answer to a prayer. They have been there for me, and all my questions, doubts, fears,concerns and they keep me on track with my lab work, vitamins,and office visits. On a scale of 1-10, I would have to rate Dr.Hamilton a 10 plus. If you want the best He Is. He has been there for me and will be there for you. I put my life in his hands and would recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Hoehn looks very young. He just started doing Lap Bands, but he has extensive experience with RNY patients.

I first met Dr. Hoehn at one of his seminars. I learned about the surgery and Dr. Hoehn from my daughter, who works in the operating room at Shawnee Mission Hospital. The surgery sounded like just what I've needed.......so I started the process.

As many have already express, Nola makes things happen! After jumping through all the hoops, (which Nola already knew about), I was accepted for surgery in less that a week after Nola sent off my package!

I've been attending the support meetings since I got involved in this procejure, and I like the support given by all of the staff, and the support group itself.

Just can't wait for the surgery, (only 9 days away as of this writting), and seeing the pounds come off! I'm looking forward to getting in my antique Triumph sports cars in the spring and my belly not touching the steering wheel!

I saw Dr. Sabapathy for my pre-surgery psych eval 10-22-04.I attended one of Dr Hoehn's seminars and listened to what his post surgery patients had to say about needing psychiatric counseling in preparation for the RNY. I thought it would be good for me to get started. One of the post RNY patients highly recommended him. Yeah and his name is mispelled on here, it's Sabapathy aka Kumar:P

My first impression of Dr. Hoehn was "he's the one I want to do my surgery". The moment I saw him and heard him speak at the seminar I immediately knew he was the one. First impressions are always the right impressions. Throughout time I have come to respect him and his gift more than I did before. There is not a thing I don't like about Dr. Hoehn. He is a caring, passionate,and understanding physician. He's especially a good listener. How can you learn about your patient if you don't listen to them. Excellent quality for a doctor to have. Dr. Hoehn really really stresses aftercare for full results. Every visit I have me makes sure I'm doing what I'm suppose to be doing and getting my blood work done. The first visit to Dr. Hoehn office he addressed the risks of the surgery with me on a honesty level. Honesty is also an excellent quality for a physician. Surgical competence and bedside manner are both great to have. If you do not find them in a physician then you need to keep searching, because you shouldn't have one without the other.
