Adrian Dan Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS, FASMBS

My first impression of Dr. Dan was neutral. Over time, I began to feel more comfortable as he seemed to answer my questions thoroughly and honestly. It is certainly a plus that I am a nurse at a hospital that has a Bariatric program that is highly respected by many and I had a choice of a couple surgeons. Each time I encountered Dr. Dan, he and his staff seemed genuinely concerned for my well being and wanted me to succeed. The program here at Akron City Hospital, in my opinion, is very thorough. They prepared me for every step of this life-long journey. Post-operatively I had support groups and a staff psychologist, nutritionist, and much more at my disposal. Even though the staff educates you thoroughly, I can't emphasize how much the patient needs to research and educate themselves in other ways too...such as places like this website. Dr. Dan seems to truly believe in the program and how it can help improve the patient's life...and all done without making me feel judged. Dr. Dan's surgical competence and bedside manner are both great in my opinion. Thank you Dr. Dan and Staff!

Dr. Dan is the man . . . kinda says it all!

I came to Akron City (Summa) as an emergency patient on Oct. 22, 2009 after passing out at home twice early that morning. Long story short, my band had slipped (Dr. Dan did NOT do my original surgery, nor was it done at Akron Summa) along with numerous other complications. The Bariatric Team at Akron Summa is beyond what you would think a medical team should be. They are kind, incredibly professional, caring, knowledgeable, they are the complete package. Even though I was not Dr. Dan's "patient", I have never had anyone go to bat for me with the insurance company and the original surgeon to keep me at Akron Summa for my surgery - I believe, because of all the serious problems I had, that Dr. Dan and his team saved my life and I am eternally grateful!

I highly recommend Dr. Dan, Dr. Z and their entire staff, you won't find any better!

Dr. Dan is WONDERFUL! I have had the most positive experience and have no regrets having weight loss surgery. Dr. Dan and his staff are very caring, encouraging, and truly have your best interest in mind. They communicate clearly and make themselves available if questions arise outside of your scheduled office appointment. The aftercare program is excellent - Support groups, nutrition counseling, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Dan and Akron City Hospital. I have lost 118 pounds and feel fantastic.

Dr. Dan was wonderful!! He has a wonderful staff and a great aftercare program. He made me feel very comfortable and even sent me flowers in the hospital!!! Not too many doctors do that!! I would recommend him to my family or anyone else! Great bedside manner and I had no complications. He is the best!I was so nervous and I had my doubts. He made me feel very much at ease and he did a great job. He works very hard to treat everyone as an individual and tend to everyone's needs. There is no other doctor I would trust more than him. Thank you Dr. Dan!!!

I'm writing this review on the eve of my 1 year post op anniversary. I had a Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on Dec. 16th 2008 performed by Dr. Adrian Dan at SUMMA Health System in Akron, OH. I'm 5'2\" and I weighed over 250 lbs. I have lost 80 lbs and am still working on my goal of losing 20 more lbs. I found Dr. Dan to be very personable with an excellent bedside manner. I was very impressed with his knowledge and down to earth manner. He was honest and upfront about my health and yet optimistic that he and SUMMA'S Bariatric Program could help me. The teaching process began on Day 1. The risks of surgery and the level of commitment required on my part were made very clear as was my prognosis if I continued on the path I was on. For the first time I didn't feel alone in my struggle. I had a team of confident, caring and knowledgeable professionals behind me. The importance of following their instructions before AND after surgery AND for the rest of my life were stressed over and over again. Dr. Dan, the office staff and everyone at SUMMA including the hospital staff were so supportive and helpful. Everything went according to plan. Nothing was left to chance. I finally feel like I am living again instead of just existing. My only regret is that I didn't have the surgery done sooner. Dr. Dan, if you're reading this....Thank you! Thank you so much!

My first impression of Dr. Dan was that he was very friendly, I felt really comfortable talking to him. He seemed more like a friend, than just my doctor. I felt like he really understood my needs. The staff were very knowlegeable, helpful and accomodating. Future patients should feel confident that he is going to do what he says, and that he is definitely rooting for you. His aftercare program is stuctured. I am able to address any concerns or questions with him and his team. Having the surgery saved my life. I was more beneficial for me to have the surgery. He is an excellant doctor, and he gives 110 percent. His surgical competence and bedside manner were both great!!! Thanks so much Dr. Dan.rnrnCheryl Perry

I was very impressed with Dr.Dan. He's been very patient through this whole experience and has my best interest at heart. His office staff has been great too. I would certainly recommend anyone to go to him as he has been very truthful with me and has helped me set realistic goals. He has a great bedside manner and checked on me several times while I was in the hospital and even brought flowers! I strongly encourage anyone thinking of bariatric surgery to consult with thim as he will make the right decisions for you and your long-term health and well being.

Dr. Adrian Dan seems very young, but do not be fooled, he is a very qualified and excellent surgeon, who has a heart of gold. His staff is by far top notch, and on top of every detail, I did not have any problems getting information from them, and they held my had the entire way. rn Dr. Dan emphasizes aftercare, it is one of the most important things to think about wheather you can commit or not, if you want to have this surgery, and he makes no bones about that. rn Bottom line I highly recommend Dr. Adrian Dan, he is very caring, has the best bed side manner I have EVER, EVER seen. I will say that he gets very emotional about his job, you can tell that it is his passion and he loves what he does. Amy specific questions please feel free to send me a message, and I will try to help you out the best I can.

MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS HE IS NICE AND STEARN AND HE RADIATES ENERGY AND IT SPREADS FROM ONE STAFF MEMBER TO THE NEXT.THE OFFICE STAFF ARE SO HELPFUL AND PROFESSIONAL. THE ONE THING I WOULD SAY ABOUT DR DAN DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME OR HIS IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO LISTEN AND DEDICATE YOURSELF TO GOING ON THIS LIFE LONG JOURNEY.POST-OP IS WHEN YOU START FEEL THAT YOU ARE WORTH WHATEVER BECAUSE ALL THE STAFF HAVE ALL EYES ON YOU I REALLY FELT THAT I WAS THIER ONLY CONCERN.WHAT A GREAT FEELING.ALL I CAN SAY IS I HAVE A HIGH REGARD FOR THIS DOCTER AND HIS STAFF AND BELIEVE ME I KNOW ALOT OF DOCTERS IN THIS AREA AND DR.DAN IS #1

My first impression of Dr. Dan was that he was a very kind and caring person. Dr. Dan's abillity as a surgeon surpassed my expectations. His office staff is very knowledgeable and helpfull. I can not find anything to complain about. The after care is great. Anytime I have a question at a visit or in between has been addressed. I meet with Dr. Dan on a regular basis for aftercare to check weight loss and vitamin levels and any eating problems. Dr. Dan was very informative about the risk I had before surgery and did tests to make sure I was able to have surgery. My over all impression of Dr. Dan and his office is very possitive and I would recommend him and his staff to anyone seeking weight loss surgery. Dr. Dan is both an accomplished surgeon and a very good man.
