Blair Rowitz Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

I have met Dr.Rowitz twice.The first time was at the seminar and the second at my first visit. Dr.Rowitz came in and talked to me about the surgery. He let me know what surgery he felt was best for me and all the ups and downs of it. He also gave me as much time as I needed to ask any questions and voice my concerns. I have never felt so welcome at another dr's office like this one and I have been with the same doctor since I was 10. I am looking forward to working with Dr.Rowitz and his staff.

I absolutely love Dr Rowitz. He stepped in the room and it seemed like he had memorized my entire chart. He was very professional and never made me feel like he was talking down to me at all. He gave me hope...he showed that he cares about me and my health when other surgeons seemed to only be interested in getting my money.

He has a very good understanding of what it means to be overweight and how hard it is to lose weight. He seemed to genuinely care for you as a patient and does not treat you like just another payday.rnrnMy impression of him has pretty mush stayed the same from the beginning.rnrnHis staff is very polite and patient when you call them with tons of questions. I did get a little skeptical when they kept getting me confused for lap band when I was scheduled for gastric. But that was my fault because i did originally inquire about lap band. rnrnAnyone in the SC GA area looking around for a surgeon should def. give Dr. Rowitz a call.rnrnHis seminars covered aftercare and risks very thoroughly I have a good understanding of what I am going to go through when my surgery is done.rnrnHe is great at both his bedside manner and surgical competence. He was very adamant about making sure i got checked thoroughly before considering doing the procedure. rnrn

Mr. Rowitz is wonderful. He is actually one doctor that I see that is concerned with your health and not how your gonna pay. Very attentive to his patients. Before surgery he covered every aspect of the surgery. After the surgery he is still as concerned with everything.

My 3rd call to a bariatric surgeon's office was to Dr. Rowitz' office. I was particularly impressed because the first question they asked me was my NAME. The second question was whether I had any insurance (the other two offices I called asked for whether I had ins or not and did not bother to ask my name). The third question was my height/weight (call me picky, but I still would have preferred being asked my name first, my height/weight, THEN what type of ins, if any, do I have). I do have ins, but that is not the point. Dr. Rowitz' office, so far, seems interested in me the person, and not me the wallet. That was my reason for registering for their seminar and choosing Dr. Rowitz and his team. May seem a small thing to some, but it's not a small thing to me.

My first impression of Dr. Rowitz was that he was caring and understanding. Plus he wanted what was in your best interest. Almost a year later from my initial consultation with him, I still feel the same. Everyone at his office puts the patient first. They are always there if you need them. Dr. Rowitz and staff were completely honest with me in regards to the risks of surgery. I would recommend him to anyone interested in the surgery. He will make you feel very comfortable with your decisions and you wont go in blind folded.

I really liked Dr. Rowitz and his staff. They done everything possible to prepare me for my surgery. They made sure I had a complete understanding of what I was going to go through with the surgery and as much as possible for what was going to come up after.

My first impression of Dr. Rowitz was that he was very thorough and polite. He did not seem as though he was providing this wonderful tool just for the money, but that he was genuine. The office staff is very helpful and so so nice.

Dr. Rowitz is a very warm personal. Reminds me of the perfect big brother. Seems to have a huge heart for his patients. And a good sense of humor. Staff/office atmosphere is very laid back. I felt comfortable with everyone. They really went out of thier way getting all my insurance info together and never seemed aggrievated when I called bugging them about me statis. You definately get the sense that this is not their 1st rodeo!!rnrnDr. Rowitz holds seminairs before you can be considered a canidate. He addressed most very issue you can think of but I was impressed that he also hangs around after the meetings and just chit-chats with you as a person not just potential $$. rnrnI had a great hospital stay at ANMED. Dr. Rowitz girls lined everything up for me and I just had to be there. The hospital was clean and I had a comfortable room with a private bath. Surgery was SMOOTH~~ I really only had minimum pain after surgery. The nurses on the floor were right there to give the pain meds before the pain got out of control. I mostly slept a whole day and night and felt pretty good the next day. rnDr. Rowitz checked on me a few times and encouraged me to stick with the plan. ANd ofcourse he went over that plan for the 20th time just to be sure!rnrnAftercare has been good. Calls from thier dietician have been considerate and very helpful. My first fill was easy.rnrnI would have to say I don't believe I could have received any better care than that I received from this team. Thanks Guys for helping me get a life~ no a great life!!!

I was very impressed with Dr. Rowitz when I attended his seminar. He appeared very caring and eager to help people with this skills. His office staff is also very caring and treat you well when you are in the office. They also had no problems with any phone calls I made to them and always answered my questions. He was very upfront about the surgery and the importance of my participation in the process. I would give him 100% if I were grading him. He is all around a great surgeon.
