The Surgical Weight Loss Institute of Kansas City Bariatric Center

Dr. Scott is the best! He was very thorough in his explanations and I never felt at all like he was rushed. Janet is very sweet and helpful, has always returned my emails or phone calls very quick.

I had a consultation with Dr. Scott on August 31st. He was very professional and answered all of my questions. The staff throughout the day of tests and meetings were all very well informed and accomodating to my many questions. I feel much better about the whole procedure now that I have met the Dr. and talked with him.

I have met with Dr Scott twice so far and have been very well pleased with him. He is very easy to talk with and takes time to answer any and all questions. The staff and hospital seem to be very patient service centered and since they do so many of these proceedures they know what it is needed. My surgery is now scheduled for Oct 3rd and I am looking forward to it with all confidence. The aftercare program that they recommend is very well explained and detailed to help you recover as quickly as possible. I also liked the fact that Dr. Scott is more than willing to work with my personal Doctors after surgery and to answer any questions that they might have.

I really like Dr. Scott. He is a very busy DR. But he is there when you need him. My surgery went great and i have him to thank for that. I would highly recommend him.

My first appointment with Dr. Scott will be September 21, 2000. I have been communicating with Janet and have been very pleased with all her help.

Had my pre-surgical consult today (07/20/2000). Actually, he wasn't anything like how I had seen him described (rushed, not very openly talkative). May have caught him on a good day.

He was honest and direct, very thorough. He answered all of our questions fully and completely. He was relaxed and didn't seem in a hurry... seemed to be completely concentrating on me and my surgery. He fully outlined the risks of surgery, although I had already done quit a bit of research so there wasn't anything new for me there.

I can't say anything about his bedside manner, but he seemed very knowledgable, detail oriented (always good in a surgeon), and experienced.

well i met dr. scott finally and he was very nice. I had a list of questions i had prepared to ask him, and he answered everyone of them. he explained the risks of the surgery to me so i would know what i could expect.

I have not met my surgeon yet. I have corresponded with him via email. I was surprised how quickly he answered my questions.

So far, I have been very pleased with his staff. Janet Duece is his administrative assistant, and she gets all the paperwork going and appointments scheduled. She has ALWAYS returned my calls the same day and has always been very helpful and pleasant.

Dr. Scott is very skilled in laproscopic surgery and you should visit his websight at www.obesesurgery.com

I have my first appointment with Dr. Scott on Monday, 5/22/00, and I will update then.

UPDATE: Dr. Scott is a very pleasant person to talk to. He answered all my questions in laymen terms, and he didn't sugar-coat the risks involved. Very impressed so far. His helper, Janet Duce, was also very nice. She did seem a little rushed, however. Overall, I felt good when I left.

Very nice Doctor. Office staff is very courteous, especially Janet Duce. They recommend that patients attend support groups after and before the surgery. I am going to try and get in touch with one here in the Kansas City metro area.

I met with Dr. Scott on April 27th. My first impression was that he was a very busy man. I had about 15 questions I had written down to ask but after attending support groups, seeing the dietician and speaking with a friend who just had surgery I had only 1 question left for him. He was very straight forward. I did not feel pressured to hurry up. His assistant Janet has been absolutely wonderful over the past 7 weeks since surgery has been scheduled. I am impressed with Dr. Scott's aftercare support group. I feel very comfortable in his abilities as a surgeon!
