Aviv Ben-Meir Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

Very proffesional and easy to talk to.

Has not changed.

A little slow moving at times and very fast at others.

Got the Insurance approved the first time.

Stay after her to keep things on track. Listen and
follow everything she says to perfection for approval.
Have not heard about aftercare too much. I have pre-admittance testing on 09/02/04. Will hear then.

Again, on 09/02/04

Very Good

Surgical Competence

Dr. Ben-Meir was very direct when I first met him and bascially wanted to know how I will manange life after this surgery and if I knew all that was involved. He was personable, warm, friendly and seemed to accept people for who they are... He was wonderful through the proceedure and his follow-up care in the hospital was great. I feel comfortable going to him with questions or concerns and would recommend him to anyone intrested in the Cleveland Area. One of the best...

In my oppinion Dr. Ben-Mier was very thoughtful and informative.
After my surgery I had a few complications and had to have a couple blood transfusions Dr. Ben-Meir was very kind and even came to the hospital on his day off to check on me.
His oofice staff has been supportive.
His office has a good aftercare program. He was went over the risk of the surgery with me in great detail. I would rate Dr. Ben-Meir at a very high to excellent level. His staff I would rate as average. Dr. Ben-Meir's bedside manor and surgical competence were both great.

The office was very busy and it took me longer than I expected. Dr. Ben-Meir has a great reputation and I have met a number of people who he operated on. So far, He's great!

My first impression of Dr. Ben-Meir is that he is very thural and straight with all important information regarding the big decision you are about to make.

MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS THAT HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND HAPPY TO EXPLAIN THE PROCEDURES, RISKS, ANS STATISTIC OF HIS SURGERY OUTCOMES WITH ME. HE WAS VERY CLEAR ON WHAT HE EXPECTS OF HIS PATIENTS. THE OFFICE STAFF ALL SEEMED VERY NICE, MY PT COORDINATOR HAS BEEN HELPFUL AND ANWERED MY EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS PROMPTLY. DID HAVE SOME CONFUSION WITH SOME LOST PAPERWORK BUT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. THAT I FEEL THAT HE HAS YOUR WELL BEING 1 PT. AT A TIME IN MIND.AFTER CARE IS A BIG PART OF THIER PROGRAM TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU SIGN A CONTRACT SSAYING THAT YOU WILL PARTICIPATE. THE AFTER CARE PROGRAM SEEMS TO BE BY FAR ONE OF THE BETTER THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED. SINCE I HAVEN'T HAD SURGERY YET I WILL SAVE FURTHER COMMENT UNTIL I AM POT-OP.

My surgeon Ben-Meir was very direct but also has a sense of humor which helped me be at ease with him. So far I am very happy in my choice.

HE WAS VERY PLEASANT & KNOWLEDGEABLE
HE WAS CONCERNED ANS EXPLAINED EVERYTHING, NEVER RUSHED EVEN THOUG HE WAS VERY BUSY, HE MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS HIS ONLY PATIENT.
HE IS A GREAT SURGEON WITH AN EXCELLENT BEDSIDE MANNER. I'M VERY PLEASED I CHOSE HIM.
I HAD SOME CONFLICTS WITH A FEW OF THE OFFICE STAFF PRE OP AND WAITING FOR INSURANCE CLEARANCE, BUT AFTER MY SURGERY WHEN I'VE GONE TO MY FOLLOW UP VISITS, IT HAS BEEN VERY PLEASANT.
OVERALL, DR.BEN-MIER IS GREAT, I HAVE RECOMMENDED HIM TO MANY PEOPLE OVER THE PAST YEAR AND HE HAS NOT LET ME DOWN, I FEEL LIKE I OWE HIM SO MUCH FOR SAVING MY LIFE. I THINK HE IS A COMPETENT SURGEON,
HAS A GREAT BEDSIDE MANNER, AND A DECENT NICE PERSON WHO CARES ABOUT ALL THE LIVES HE IS CAHNGING!

Dr. Ben-Meir is an impecable surgeon. He was great and continues to be great. My family was extremely nervous about me having the surgery but when they met with him on the day of the surgery he transcended an incredible sense of comfortability. He has been great and he has great people skills. He is highly recommended!!!

He was confident that he could help me, either by lap or full. Fully qualified to do both surgeries. I had the lap.

I still feel that he was very qualified and handled by surgery very well.

Staff at St.V's very knowledgeable and understanding, and caring.

He was great.

St. V's has a structured after care. And are very concerned that we as patients are commited to this care.

I had internal bleeding that was quite unnerving, but Doc. was a trooper. He pulled me thru and I am greatful for that.

Dr. Ben-Mier was competent and his concern was evident. I would have to rate him very high.
