Dr. Dan has been wonderful evertime I have seen him. I am also seeing Dr. Wells and he is wonderful as well. Nothing but good things to say about the entire staff and process so far.

I can't begin to say enough good things about Dr. Dan and the staff at the Summa Bariatric Center in Akron, Ohio. When I went to the first educational seminar in July of 2008, I knew this was the program that I wanted to work with. Dr. Dan presented a thorough educational seminar that gave me all of the information I needed to begin the process. From my first appointment with him, I knew I had made the right choice. At the first appointment, I met members of his staff. They were so kind and friendly. You can tell there is a \"team\" approach to they care they provide. The financial coordinator helped me with all the paperwork I needed. There was another staff member who set up all my testing and procedures. This coordination in the beginning was amazing. All my tests were scheduled right away, setting up getting insurance approval to go smoothly. Once all the testing was finished and I got my approval letter, things moved quickly again. The Summa Bariatric program set up a 4 hour pre-op education class and a 2 hour exercise class for me. You meet with their dietician on a couple of occasions before surgery as well. By the time I was ready for surgery, I felt I was fully aware of what was going to take place before, during, and after the surgery. Dr. Dan was very supportive all along the way. Meeting with him before the surgery put my mind at ease as the day approached. He and his staff were always available for any questions that would come up. After surgery, Dr. Dan and his staff were in to see me, making sure I knew what I needed to know and that I had everything I needed when I went home. I am one week post-op and feel good. I can't say enough about the program at the Summa Bariatric Center in Akron, Ohio. I highly recommend this program if you are thinking of taking the step that I did and had weight loss surgery. I have absolutely no regrets about the program choice that I made. Dr. Dan and his team are AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Making the decision to have the Bariatric Surgery is a big one but a smart one. And finding the right surgeon is as important as the operation itself. And with that said I highly recomend Dr. Adrian Dan. If you want someone compassionate, caring and supportive, with a staff just as wonderful, go to see him. I had my surgery 9/2/08 and as of today 3/11/09 I am already down 91 lbs. The surgery itself was not bad at all. It was quick with an even faster recovery. I love that whole group. Besides being my medical team they have become my friends. Look better, feel better and know youre in good hands. Summa Bariatric Center.

Dr. Dan and his staff at Akron Bariatric are wonderful. Dr. Dan is a very caring and understanding person. It took me five years to decide to have WLS. We decided on lapband and on March 4, 2008 I had my surgery. I was petrified as I had never had surgery in my life Dr. Dan was wonderful. He and his staff put me at ease. From the beginning of the process, through surgery and through follow-up one year later, everyone has been very caring and thoughtful. Here I am a year later and I am down 85 lbs. I can't believe it. This process has gone even better than I expected. If you are considering WLS, I would have to recommend Dr. Dan and Akron Bariatric Center. I am always telling everyone I meet of my success and that it was Dr. Dan and Akron Bariatric Center that helped change my life.

Dr. Dan is a wonderful surgeon and his office staff is great. Dr. Dan touched me and treated me like I was human. The process to have this surgery is long but well worth the wait. The before, during and aftercare are great. I could almost always reach a human when calling the office. If I had to leave a message it was answered promptly. Education was a big part of the process. I am 7 weeks post op and have only throw up one time. I believe this is because of the education of how to eat after the surgery. Dr. Dan's staff knew the requirement for my insurance and worked with me to make sure that I had fulfilled the requirements for the surgery. I would recommend Dr. Dan to anyone needing gastric bypass surgery.

I chose Dr Dan to do my surgery and I know i made the best choice, He's so caring, and polite. Dr Dan's office dosn't put you down like other Places I have been to. Not only the Dr but the Staff has expressed, Risks, Aftercare, The whole 9 yards. If you need to understand anything you can always pick up the phone or email Dr Dan at any time. This surgeon 100% committed to his patients. I am happy I chose Dr Dan. I look forward to my Visits with my Dr.

I was immediately impressed with Dr. Dan. I first met him at the public seminar that each patient is required to take. He had a wonderful sense of humor and instantly put everyone at ease. All the questions I had anticipated on asking were answered even before I could ask. The office staff is wonderful and caring as well. I always felt comfortable and as if I had know everyone for a long time. They are most supportive and informative. I can call or e-mail at any time and always receive a response.rnrnAftercare is SO, SO stressed!! You must take your vitamins, exercise and see your surgeon and dietitian for follow up. Dr. Dan and the staff always encourage follow up to make sure you are doing well. rnrnThe risks of the surgery were explained in extreme detail. I never felt as if I was going into anything blindly. Each step was explained throughout the whole procedure. There are classes that we had to take to make sure all was understood. rnrnDr. Dan is an extremely competent surgeon with a bedside manner that was simply amazing. He always made me feel comfortable and as if I was the only patient he had. He was so friendly with my family and friends when he came to visit me post op. He was truly interested in my life outside of the fact that I was a patient and wanted to know who my family members were that were there to support me. He spoke to them kindly and with humor, he visited, not just rushing in and out of my room giving orders to the nurses. AMAZINGINGLY WONDERFUL AND CARING, not just a competent surgeon, but a truly caring person.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Dan. He's compassionate, and a great surgeon. My first impression of him was that he was soft spoken, and kind. I definately made the right choice in surgeons. The office staff are all great too. I look forward to, and enjoy every visit to The Bariatric Care Center. Thanks Dr. Dan. None of this would have been possible without you.

When I first met Dr. Dan I felt immediately comfortable with him. It was evident that he was a compassionate person and doctor. I live with social anxiety and a severe lack of trust of men, so just going to the first appointment was a huge step. I was not judged, and did not feel any negative vibes from Dr. Dan and THAT was extremely helpful for me to have the surgery. His staff, are also beautiful people. They are so supportive and understanding each step of the way. I ran into a insurance issue, and the financal personel and office managemet, met and worked with me and made phone calls on my behave. I was able to have my surgery as planned. Dr. Dan was very attentive immediately following the surgery as well as his staff. They all continue to be positive, encouraging, supportive people in my journey and life.rn It brings tears to my eyes when I think about what a gift he as given my five year old daughter. Dr. Dan has given her her mother back and so much more. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Dan and his beautiful staff!!!

Hello!rnrnI am one month out of surgery and as of my visit this morning, down 46 pounds! I cannot say enough good things about the SUMMA Health System (Akron City Hospital's) Bariatric Center of Excellence (VERY important you choose a hospital with this standing!), especially Dr. Adrian Dan and his staff. This office is truly a support system to its patients...none of that \"you're fat, now just stop it\" kind of BS you spend your life hearing in other physician's office. I truly felt that Dr. Dan and his staff understood this issue is greater than just taking my hand out of the potato chip bag and they truly are \"cheerleaders\" in their support of my success. Make no mistake, this is a long, hard road...more pre-op testing, appointments, etc., than I ever imagined, but it was worth it. My anxiety was at an all-time high during my first meeting with Dr. Dan, but his warm and caring bedside manner was a large motivator in my deciding to go ahead with the surgery and specifically, this surgeon. Good luck to all who read this and are considering a major life-change! rnrn
