Jon Schram Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

Dr. Schram was recommended to me by a co-worker who had had the gastrc sleeve. As a nurse who works in surgery, it is always a task to have surgery done in a hospital that is not your ' home hospital'. I had my first appointment in January and was very impressed. The office staff was amazing in their treatment of me. Dr. Schram is gentle, kind and professional. He answered all my questions. I could not ask for a better doctor.
My sleeve was done on April 9, 2012. I am still off but am doing very well. I mist also comment on the Bariatric ward of Zeeland Hospital. ( a Spectrum facility)). The nures were great. They were understanding and seemed truly excited for me and my sleeve journey.the smiles and kindness were very real and much appreciated. The hospial is very nice- the building is only 6 years old. The rooms are spacious and well appointed.
I would recomend any and everyone entrust their bariatrc surgery to Dr. Schram and his colleagues. Everyone there is rooting for the patient. Best care anywhere!!!

After a long battle with insurance companies, Jan.16 2012 was the start of my new life. Dr. Shram and his office were behind me the from the beginning. I would call and check in if I made the 'cut' regularly and was always treated with kindness and encouragement. Now that I am past the surgery, I have had a wonderful recovery... don't want to jinx it, but I have not had any of the mythical issues. Very low pain in the hospital, and wonderful recovery at home. 12 days out of surgery and I was back to playing volleyball... one of my 'addictions'. The Zeeland facility is close to my home, and was a wonderful and friendly experience. Family was around me and the staff were patient, kind and informative. I really get the feeling that I have a team in my corner. Dr. Schram has an expression that make you feel like you've made him proud. I'm a question person so at my post 2 week when I came in with my notebook of questions he just chuckled, and went down the line answering all my questions regardless of how silly the may have been... they were important to me. So far... the experience is one I would share for anyone thinking of moving their life in a different direction.

I had my Surgery on September 12 2011. I had a wonderful experance, when i arrived at the hospital every one was so nice and helpful. Dr. Schram came to pre op and prayed with my husband and myself, which i want to thank him for that. When i came out of surgery I was not in much pain at all. The nurses on the floor were so kind and helpful the whole time i was there.

I just want to tell Dr. Schram what a wonderful surgern he is, and thank you so very much for giving me my life back.

Dr. Jon Schram gave me confidence in having my procedure done, I was debating this for a long time.
Him and his staff are super freindly and make me feel good about my progress.. My stay in the hospital was great, My daughter came with me I was not expecting an over night stay in the hospital due to the hernia I had Dr Schram said I had to stay over night.. We were unprepared he told the hospital to set my daughter up in my room.. Thank you Dr Schram for being such a great Doctor ,,,not to mention he prayed for me before the surgery...

I have never felt more comfortable with a doctor before! I had my Surgery July 19, 2011. I had the sleeve. Everyone there was so nice and friendly, and made you feel like you were their number one priority. Then I met Dr. Schram. I was not disappointed. answered all of my questions, and made me feel like I was making the right decision! I have never been happier and its only been two weeks, I am already down 46 pounds, and looking at my glass as half full. I am so happy w/ my experience. Have already recommended him to a few people as well who are seeing my success and inquiring :)

I had my Gastric bypass11/2010 I have been very happy with my weight loss, and my new good health. Dr. Schram is a wonderful Doctor. He is great in office and while you are in the hospital. His Holland staff are also nice, they always take my calls and are very helpful, when I go to the office its like seeing old friends. The only complaint I have is his billing, I am a cerified biller, and have found that his billing person has no idea what they are doing, they do not return phone calls, and will tell you they are going to rebill your claim and nothing happens.

Dr. Jon Schram and Staff in Holland were wonderful to me. I would recommend seeing him before weight loss surgery with anyone else.

I met Dr. Schram a ittle over 2 years ago. I was interested in weight loss surgery, but wasn't sure which one would be best for me. After completing a consultation with Dr. Schramm, I realized that gastric bypass would work best for me. The staff in the Holland office were very kind and informative- many of them having gone through the surgery themselves.

Dr. Schram prayed with me before the surgery, which then made any worries I still may have had disappear. The hospital staff in Ypsilanti was wonderful and accomodating- meeting with the nutritionist several times before I was discharged so that I had all of the necessary tools to be successful.

Since my surgery I've lost 170 pounds, and I have a whole new, active, rewarding life! Dr. Schram and his staff have been a contiuous support. The only regret that I have is that I didn't do this 20 years sooner!!

I first met Dr Schram on April 11 of this year.
Being 3+ hours earily for my consult...The staff at Baritic clinic were welcoming, treating me with respect... What amazed me the most is the people there for the same reason. They shared their lives with me. Dr Schram's staff came to get me talked to me answered some questions, with Dr Schram coming down to see me about 10 minutes later.
Was I in shock.. Between surgeries.

WOW
still Just recieved letter from OHIP I was approved after 3 weeks....

Can't wait to see myself i that sun dress slimmer and healthier



It is Christmas 2007, I am 110 lbs down and if you go to my site you will see the difference.

I am healther, and every one says "OMG" "your so much happier, your eyes have a shine and full of bust and bubble.."

SO, Merry Christmas to All

And once again WHHHHHHHHA WHOOO

Dr was very attentive, medical staff was very professional and nice. Dr had alot of experience with this particular surgery.The hospital that was chosen performs bariatric surgeries only which is a plus. I think Dr. Schram would be a good doctor. I would prefer surgical competence and u can not be nice all the time. He is a very approachable doctor and willing to answer any questions asked of him.
