Dr. Hoehn is great. He has a very quiet but cool demeanor, and the right patient can get him to crack up. I, of course, threatened him and informed him that is why he did such a great job on me. All kidding aside, he has been wonderful. He made me feel comfy all the way. I saw him every day of my stay, and he even teased me that I was a wimp for not going home on the day after my surgery, which in hindsight would have been good for me. I plan to promote his abilities and program for the rest of my life. He has a very structured program with a psychologist and dietition involved also.

Extremely caring, sensitive and encouraging.
I have had the same opinion of him throughout my experiences.He definitely has an aftercare program, however a bit wishy washy for the first 3 months post-op. Have discussed with the manager. he also has support groups monthly and newsletters. I LOVED HIM and would recommend him to anyone!!!

Dr. Hoehn is wonderful surgeon. My first impression was geeky sergeon. He is caring of his patients and their family. His office staff is beyond wonderful. I can't say that I dislike anything at this point. What I have found is once you are released from the hospital you are a little overwhelmed. The aftercare program is overlly structured and is discussed weeks prior to surgery. Risks of surgery are handled in the same manner. I would rate him a 6 or a 7. I am only about a week post-op So we'll have to see!! Surgical Competence is far more important than bed side manner. Both are always good. It's always good to meet with a surgeon before making a decsion as this is only one person's opinion.

Dr. Sabpathy is the best! He's caring, helpful, very easy to talk with and very understanding.

My first impression of Dr. Hoehn was that he is very knowledgable. I asked lot's of question at the meeting where I learned all about his type of surgery and practice. I already knew quite a bit about things, but wanted to see if his views were the same as mine, and they were. He is very young, but seems to know his stuff. I also liked the fact that there are 2 people in the operation room doing the surgery at the same time. My impression of the office staff is very kind, caring, and considerate. Aftercare is a must with his program, and that impressed me very much. Before care is also stressed. I have searched extensively, and have found no place else that has such a complete program. I would rate all concerned with Dr. Hoehn an A. I have not had the surgery yet, but feel very comfortable with all of it. I will update after I have the surgery.
When I had my surgery Dr. Hoehn held 2 of my fingers untill I drifted off. I realy like him, and he is very compassionate and caring..... I wouldn't have wanted any other surgeon.

Dr. Hoehn is excellent.

I first saw him at the seminar, and then not for awhile. My PCP recommended him, and that really was good enough for me. Now that the surgery is over, I can say that my PCP sure can pick 'em.
His office staff, especially Nola, are amazing.

I'm not terribly interested in bedside manner, really - although he is good - I want competence, and this guy has that in spades.

I am recommending him to all my fat friends....

My first impression of Dr. Stan Hohen was.. WOW i'm older than he is!... laugh. I was fortunate, my two sisters had Dr. Hohen perform their Lap RNY with great success. He is one of the most thoughtful, considerate people I know. God gave him a talent and Praise God he is using it to save lives. What can I say about the man who saved my life? His before/after care program is probably the best in the country. It's nice to know that Dr. Hohen wants to know how your *total* health is - spiritually, mentally as well as physically. He explained to me what 'risk' I was taking several times. He doesn't seem to be in this for the 'money' but to save lives. He truly takes an interest in his patients. HE has a WONDERFUL bedside manner. Good people like him are hard to find these days. I thank the Lord every day I found my way to Dr. Hohen & his top notch staff. Dr. Hohen says he gets lots of hugs from him patients, and now I know why!!

This man is awesome. In the past i've seen other psychologist and absolutly dreaded going. With Dr. Sabpathy i look forward to goin'. Really, he's lucky i haven't stolen the chair from his office, 'cause it's pretty dang nice. ;)

my first impression of Dr.Hoehn was that of relief, he seemed realy interested in what i thought,he made me feel reasured and comfortale with my decison. He answerd all my questions . four and one half months after the surgery he is still as interested in my progress and me as before.I have lost 120lbs and iam very satisfied with how every thing went.I feel that Dr. Hoehnis very good at what he does and I would recomend him very highly. The office staff is just as great as he is . They made a very taxing situation easy for me and i will be greatfull always to the3 intire staff.THe ater care and support group are great also.

We talked, we tested, we passed. I like him, and would go back for other issues sometime.
