I contribute my success to the wonderful program through St Vincent's Healthcare and this includes Dr. Maier!
Dr Maier is so caring and compassionate! I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. He is concerned for my whole being, not just the surgical portion! His guidance along with the St Vincent Weight Management program (Misty-Bariatric nurse; Dr. Baskett-Baratric physician; Les Jones-Nutritionist; and Gayle Gorder-Behaviorist) is the key to sucess in this journey!
Dr. Maier is very educated and passionate about his surgery. I was so pleased to have a surgeon who took the time to make sure even at the last minute that this was what I wanted. His staff was amazing in connection with WMC and how they always knew what the other was doing. I could not have had a better experience. I recommend Dr. Maier and the staff at WMC to anyone with questions or wanting to change their life. This was the best decision I ever made.
Dr. Maier was very interested in my expectations regarding my surgery and how they compaired with his. He was very informative and gave me all the tools I needed to achieve a positive outcome. He worked very intently with the Weight Management Clinic of Billings Mt. and their outstanding staffrnand program. After much research to find a program that met my high expections of success, I found the Weight Mamagement Clinic to have what I believe the best program in the Nothwest. This is confirmed by their outstanding postop aftercare program. They addressed in detail the risks of surgery but in detailing risk the program also gave me the tools to minimize that risk. Dr. Maier was an oustanding surgeon in every aspect. I would recomend him to anyone that needs attention to detail and professionalism.rnrnSuzanne Brewer
Dr. Maier is one of only two surgeons who preform the surgery here in Billings, He and Dr. George Bentzel are both associated with Surgical Associates.
Dr. Maier was very pleasant and comfortable to visit with on our initial visit. I have not yet had the surgery, so I will have to post again later to fill you in on that, but I was nicely impressed with him and his staff.
He was very clear on the risks of the surgery, (but nothing I hadn't already heard) and talked to me in great detail about the permanency of the surgery. He made sure I understand that this is a life-long change, and not just a few months thing.
I'll write more after my surgery!

It has now been nearly 4 months since my surgery. Dr. Maier has been WONDERFUL!! I had a few fairly minor complications (infected incision and a lot of throwing up!) and he was wonderful through it all. I never felt like I couldn't call on him with questions or concerns, he was totally honest with me, if he just didn't know the answer, he told me that too. He didn't just try to make something up to be the "all knowing Doctor God" His staff is wonderful and very supportive as well, they are all cheering me on!! Thanx Doc. and crew!!!
