Frank H. Chae Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

I was immediately impressed by Dr. Chae's welcoming manner when I met him. He came directly to the waiting room to get me, rather than sending his nurse, which I thought was great. Dr. Chae's nurse, Della, was absolutely wonderful, she went over all of the paperwork with me, answering all of my questions, even the ones I thought were silly. I felt very supported by both Dr. Chae and Della and am very confident that they will take very good care of me during and after my surgery.

Dr. Chae is amazing! He has a GREAT bedside manner and genuinely cares about ALL of his patients! you are a patient, not a number. His staff is very friendly and helpful and cares about each patient as well. Dr. Chae has amazing credentials as well. I had a consult with another bariatric physician in Denver and was very dissatisfied. It took alot of time to get nowhere with them only to find out that they never submitted all of the paperword my insurance needed. I found Dr. Chae at Sky Ridge and was thrilled after meeting him. It did not take long for me to get approved. Thank you Dr. Chae for making me a better person.

Well I met Dr. Chae for the first time last week. He seemed super nice and was really easy to talk to. He had a very nice computer aid to show how the surgery is done. I think I am really going to like him.rnrnThe office staff was very friendly so far.rnrnI'll post more on this later after I have my surgery and see how things go.

It seems to me that he is very passionate about helping people change. The info I have researched shows him to be an excellent surgeon.

I loved Dr. Chae from the first moment I met him. He's a bit soft spoken, and I think a little shy, but he's so caring. I just had my two year check up with him. He takes such good care of his patients after surgery. rnrnKelly Elliot, the nutritionist on his staff, plays a major part of that follow up after surgery. Many people don't attend her monthly support group, even though it's completely free to Chae patients. I think the support group is a big part of my success. I've lost 110 lbs, 15-20 more than was expected and I know weigh what I did in highschool, 147lbs. I've maintained my weight with the help of Kelly and the support group. rnrnSuzie and Kelly recognize my voice the moment I start talking, I often don't even get to the point where I can tell them my name! They say, \"Hey Laura, it's great to hear from you, what can we do for you!\" rnrnDr. Chae is a master at what he does and has some of the lowest percentages of problems for his patients after surgery and he's right there for you when you do have problems. rnrnI refer everone I know to Chae. I wouldn't send them to anyone else! rnrnLaura Smith

Dr. Chae is all business, impersonal, but professionally wise. Only wanted to see for follow up after a week, no interest in long term knowing how things were going. Said I was to go to my general pract. doctor with any problems. I did return to him to get my gall bladder removed a few years later. I didn't even need to go in to visit first. It was weird we made the appt. on the phone and I came down for the surgery. He is a good surgeon.

I had the best experience with Dr. Chae! His bedside manner is unbeatable, his promptness in answering questions and genuine concern is unmatched by any surgeon I have ever worked with. His office assistant, Susie Arnold, is awesome and always available when you need her. Kelly, the nutritionist is also great and always willing to answer any questions and guide me through this journey!

Dr. Chae is one of the best Doctors I have ever met. His bedside manner is awesome. He truly cares about every patient. He will spend as long as you need with him. He is always available to answer questions. His staff is always friendly and very helpful. Overall, I would rate him a 10 as a surgeon.

I had my RNY on 9/26/06 by Dr. Chae. What can I say about him....Dr. Chae is absolutely terrific! I have never met a surgeon who believes so much in what he does. He held my hand and treated me like an ACTUAL person...I couldn't believe it! His bedside manner is fabulous!!! He was friendly and very personable to my family and friends who were in the hospital room. Above all he is knowledgeable and competent. He answers questions in a way you can \"get\" it without being confused. He gave me hope and the tools to start a new life...God Bless Dr. Chae (and his staff) for all he does and for all he gives to his patients!

Frank H. Chae, MD FACSrnI did my research on doctors and felt Dr. Chae was the best. I was nervous meeting him for the first time because I was afraid I would end up not liking him and then have to go through the hassle of finding a new surgeon. However, I was not dissappointed. Dr. Chae was very kind to me and since I brought my children with me, how he treated them was just as important. He was very kind to my children too, and laughed at them when they got grossed out by his slide presentation of the surgery. He patiently answered their questions even when they asked him if he made alot of money! His presentation seemed alittle bit perfunctory but other than that, I was greatly impressed and can't wait to work with him further.rn
