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

I met him on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 and his info seminar was outstanding. I feel very comfortable in his company.

My first impression of Dr. Schram was is seems down to earth and friendly. When we got to our one on one consult he didnt beat around the bush and told me exactly what was needed to be said. I had asked him why he got into Bariatrics and he said its liek curing cancer! Helping to change someones life so they can live longer is a great feeling. To me that was amazing. From then on I was hooked!!LOL. In the group consult he told us all about the risks that were involved with both lapband and gastric. He expplained everything that need to be said I dont have one unanswered question.

Dr. Schram is a very caring surgeon as well as the staff at Barix Clinic. I liked the fact that the surgeon prayed before surgery with me and my husband. Dr. Schram will be doing the after care check up and the fill. I have great competence in his skills and the out come after wards

Initial Consult Visit:rn. first impression - very calm, gentle and patient man. rn. office staff - just as nice ... help put you at ease while you wait to meet with surgeon.rnrn

My first impression of Dr. Schram was unreal. I couldnt believe he was so friendly and caring. He is such a sweet man. It was nice that he took the time to answer my questions and got to know me as a person. He really gave me alot to think about. He opened my eyes to risk factors I wasnt really aware of while considering this surgery. He helped me get an education on this surgery and was then able to make a sound sure desicion this was for me.
I really liked that Dr. Schram was so down to earth and that he took a moment to give me a hug and treat me so nicely. His staff are all so nice and caring. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering this surgery. I trust him completely and know without a doubt he has my best interest at heart. He isnt one of those Dr. who see his patients as another pay cheque. He truly cares and it's sincere. Thank Dr. Schram for helping me achieve this new lifestyle..Thank you for the prayers just before I went in for surgery..thanks you for all you've done!! Yours the best!!

Dr Schram was the most compassionate doctor I have ever met. He immediatley put me at ease with explaining absolutely everything to me and his bedside manner was amazing!! The staff that they have at the Ypsilanti, Michigan Barix Clinic are very good at their jobs and they never had me doubting the surgery or my choice to have it done at their facility. Dr Schram and the Barix Clinic are a 10 out of 10 in my books and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic surgeon!!

To date have met him once at the consultation in Holland: First impression a dedicated, expert, that wanted to get the job done and do it right! He seemed in a hurry on our one on one, but by direct eye contact, I knew, he knew that I knew why I was here and I had already made up my mind with the knowledge behind me. rnrn2/13/08~~~~Wonderful Doctor. Prays with you before surgery, asks if you have any questions, very considerate. Dr. Schram even found my husband wandering around trying to find me and took time out of his busy schedule to show him where I was at.rnWhat a good good person....rnrn4/18/08~~~Have to say I love him!! He is quick, efficient, and wants to see that I get to that 'sweet spot' asap. Fills every two weeks. I have had absolutely no problems.rnrn5/1/08~~~There are not words that can exemplify his total devotion to his patients. He is aware of each and every one. Although he shook my hand and told me he was proud of me, I am more proud of him and his practice.

I LOVED Dr. Schram... Very personable and kind. He truly became a doctor to help people and has found his niche. I am a spiritual person and I found it awesome that he 'prayed' with me right before we went into surgery. His staff is also amazing. I went to the Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti, MI and can honestly say I was treated with so much respect, love and concern. My well being was their focus. I would rate Dr. Schram as a 10!!! Plus a 10 goes to the Barix Clinic and all of their staff!! Wish I could have stayed there longer (even though I was in for 3 days). I don't have anything bad to say or anything that I disliked at all. Only good things to say... except for recovery... well, that's how it goes! Okay, here is the only negative thing I can say... my surgery was delayed a couple of hours because they got behind schedule... but I understand that it happens sometimes. I was just starving while I had to wait. Haha!

I finally had my surgery with the Barix Clinic of Michigan in Ypsilanti, MI. I was able to have my surgery in the same hospital where I was born. Dr. Schram is a wonderful man!!! I would recommend him to anyone!!! He is very quick and very formal but shows that he really cares as well.

i found my surgeon to be very personable. for my consultation he explained the surgery very well and used laymen's terms. i felt very comfortable with him right away. right before they took me in for surgery he came out to see if i had any last minute questions and then stopped to hold my hand for a word of prayer. i found this very comforting...even though i'm not a super religious person. he came to see me every morning after the surgery and the staff at the barix clinic were very kind and helpful. if i had to do it all over again i wouldn't change a thing
