John Butsch Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF HIM WAS A GOOD ONE HE IS VERY NICE AND STRAIGHTFOWARD HE REALLY KEPT ME INFORMED ABOUT THE SURGERY, HOSPITAL STAY AND WEIGHTLOSS PRIOR TO SURGERY. I AM A 28YEAR OLD MOM OF 2 LITTLE ONES {THAT I HAD TO BRING WITH ME ON THE FIRST TIME} AND I STARTED TO CRY ABOUT BEING OBESE AND RENATTA ASSURED ME THAT EVERYTHING WOULD BE OK SHE IS REALLY NICE AND ALL THE STAFF WAS COMFORTING. I WAS REFFERED TO HIM BY ANOTHER SURGEON AT RUSH AND DR BUTSCH IS AWESOME AND I RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE THAT LIVES IN CHICAGO. MY SURGERY DATE IS 9-25-03 YEAH!!!!!

My first impresion of Dr. Butsch was that he was VERY YOUNG! Let me tell you, that made me just a tad bit nervous! By the end of my 2nd visit with him, i'd found that he'd done quite a few of these surgeries,and was appreciative of my concerns and questions. Dr. Butsch's nurse Renata is FANTASTIC! She was able to guide me thru the pre-op maze with no problem. She ALWAYS took my calls. That part was important.
