I met Dr. Hoehn today and felt at ease with him immediately. I have complete confidence that he is an excellent surgeon and that I will succeed under his guidance.

When I first met Dr Hoehn at his seminar I left there with a complete feeling of ease. He is very thorough in his explanations and answered every question that came up in a manner that made you feel important, he didn't "talk down" to you as some Drs do. (he's a cutie too)The ENTIRE staff at Bariatric Center of Kansas City is just unbelievable, they go wayy above and beyond to make you feel like you are the single most important patient they have. But I would like to point out Nola specifically, she is one incredible lady, and I just don't have the right words to decribe how terrific she truly is. Nola, you're a godsend! All in all, I could not be any happier with my decision to go with Dr Hoehn, and the staff at the Bariactric Center of Kansas City!!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Sabapathy. I saw him several times in 2003, but stopped going for a year due to poor mental health insurance coverage and my worries about how I was going to pay for the visits. I recently started going again and he remembered things I told him over a year ago. Totally blew my mind! He is an extremely nice man, very knowledgeable of the issues obese people face every day, very easy to talk to. Whether I end up having surgery or not, he has been a great deal of help to me. I highly recommend him.

He is very friendly and informative. Dr. Hoehn has is warm and friendly, and always willing to hear and address my questions. He truly cares about how I am doing and wants to make sure I have everything I need to make my WLS a success. His Office staff are so nice and make going to the office a happy place. The nurses are great! I had my LAP RNY on 8/31/04, and Dr. Hoehn had great bedside manner and very caring. Since this was my very 1st surgery experience ever, I would rate him an A+.

Dr. Hoehn is my friend. We met the summer of 2002 when I needed a hernia repaired. My husband and I had only lived in Kansas for about 6 weeks. We knew noone. When Dr.Hoehn entered the exam room I felt very comforted. I liked his manner and felt that he truely cared for me as a person. My husband had just started his own residency and we were under so much stress. Dr. Hoehn could certainly relate to us and he told us that he remembered his own residency and all of the hardships that go with it. He comforted us during a time that we certainly needed to be comforted. It was during that visit that I began to establish the trust in him that I would need 6 months later when he performed the gastric bypass on me. Sometimes you have to take a giant leap of faith in order to change your life. You have to have courage and resolve to change your life. Dr. Hoehn helped me take the biggest risk of my life in order to reclaim it. I want all of you to know how much sacrifice goes into training to be a physician and it does not get easier afterwards. I had the priviledge of working for the bariatric program last year and I wittnessed first hand the long long hours Dr. Hoehn and his partners work. I know first hand the loneliness a doctors' spouse experiences day in and day out. Two years have passed since our initial meeting. Today I am a healthy and vital wife and mother. My husband is in his final year of training and we have perservered through it all. I think of Dr. Hoehn everyday.I also say a prayer for him everyday that he continues to give to others what he was able to give to me.

Dr. Hoehn is the most compassionate person I have ever met. He truly believes in this surgery and the success of his patients. He takes the time to listen to you and answers all your questions without making you feel rushed. I was admitted 5 times and Dr. Hoehn was there all the way.

Well, now that Ive found my way to this site...I cant say enough things about Dr. Hamilton. This man is absolutely "the" best damn Doctor I have ever crossed in my years. He was very informative about my procedure, including the goods, and the bads. He was there everyday while I was in the hospital with "real talk" just about how I was really doing. I truly am glad after all of the months of research in having gastric bypass that I made the choice to have my procedure done by Dr. Hamilton. My recovery has been everything that I was told it would be. There have truly been "no surprises". Im looking foward to my future now and what it holds for me. Anyone considering this procedure in my area, I would gladly speak very highly of Dr. Hamilton and rate him as one of the most "real" Doctors you can find. Absolutely no regrets. Thanks to all the
staff at Solutions....you guys are great!

The first thing I noticed when I met Dr. Hoehn was his gorgeous eyes!!! He's got a great sense of humor and you can tell that he truly cares about all his patients. His office takes extra special care of all their patients. They send you to many doctors to make sure that you can withstand surgery. This is awesome! It makes me realize that they really care! I suggest them to anyone that's talking about having surgery!!

After going to several other seminars, I was given Dr. Hoehn's card and set up a seminar appt with him. They sold me on everything that night. The team attitude was comforting and reassured me that my journey would not be made alone, as in the case with some other doctors.

My impression has and ALWAYS will be grand, I walk around with his business cards handing them out to other possible patients, NOT for the sake of the doctor, but for the sake of the patient. I invite everyone to come and experience their seminar, and judge for themselves.

The docotr and his complete team of support doctors and staff are on the same page; very caring and very informative. Even the risks are discussed, but to us, we run the risk of dying just being alive every day.

Aftercare is a major part of their focus, because our surgery is life changing. From now until forever, we are changing and learning. As in the Pre-Op phase, Dr. Hoehns staff is their guiding you, more so in the Post-Op phases.

He is fabulous across the boards. I wouldn't be passing his cards out if I didn't believe in him and his staff.

What can I say. Dr. S ROCKS!!!! I was very reluctant because of financial reasons and he wasn't in my network but I am so glad I looked past that.
