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

I am very impressed with Dr. Schram office staff. They are very friendly and helpful.rnrnThe best news I received was I don't have to go on any kind of diet before surgery. :) rnrnI have only met Dr. Schram once. He seemed to be very caring and professional and he has not lost a patient yet! That was awesome news.rnrn

He's the best!

I was very impressed with Dr, Schram. He answered questions and gave me information that the other doctors I had seen did not.rnI have only met him once but have an appointment for pre-op testing on January 14. rnThe staff at the Barix Clinic were so nice. They made me feel welcome and really quite special.rnI really can't remember anything I didn't like about the doctor. I found him to be very straightforward and honest about everything, including the risks. He did put my mind at ease though by his confident manner. I have complete confidence in him and I believe he has just as much confidence in himself, that made me feel good. rnAlthough bedside manner is important, I would rate surgical competence much higher. I do think Dr, Schram has both, fortunately for his patients.rnI am sure there is a structured aftercare program but since I have not had my surgery yet, i will learn more about that later.rn*********************************rnMonday morning, I was being prepped for surgery and the clock was directly in fornt of me where I could watch it. As it got closer and closer to 10 AM, the butterflies in my stomach got worse. Then the doors opened and there stood my hero, Dr. Jon Schram. He said something like, \"Well, barbara, are you ready to start your new life?\" Then he took my hand in his and PRAYED! I have never felt such a sense of calm in my life! My surgery went very well and I have had no problems. rnI would recommend this wonderful man to anyone!

My first impression of Dr Shram was that he was very pleasant, sweet, gentle and kind. I only met him before surgery. The office staff are amazing and truly care about everyone. I didnt find not one thing negative about Dr Shram at all. He answered any questions i had about my aftercare as well. And talk about an aftercare program, all i can say about that is in my opinion, its the best out there and if i had to do it over again, i would not have chose to go anywhere or see anyone else other than Dr Shram. I was fully aware of any and all risks but i felt safe because i have such a knowledgable Surgeon, i would rate him a 100 out of a 100. As for what is better, either surgical competence or bedside manners, i would perfer to have both, but would like my surgeon to be abit more competent on his surgical skills yet still have the bedside manners, which my doctor has both. I couldnt have had a better experience, ohh and he prayed with me before surgery which is why i was so at ease.

I've been switched to a new surgeon, Dr. Schram, because my original one is leaving Barix Clinics. Hoping to schedule a consulatation with him soon...rnrn1/8/08 - Finally met Dr. Schram during my PATs. He was very busy with surguries, but took time to come meet me in person. I wish I had more time to talk with him, but I was nervous and flustered. He answered each of my questions and relieved some of my fears. I think he'll be a good surgeon for me, especially because he said he chose to do WLS because it was as rewarding as \"curing cancer.\"

I met Dr. Schram 1 week prior to my surgery at PAT's d/t Dr. Kam leaving Barix. He was very friendly and I instantly felt comfortable with him. I initially had a lap RNY, but after they did the X rays the follwing day , It was discovered that I Had a leak. Within 30 minutes after the leak was confirmed I was back in surgery. Prior to going back to surgery Dr. Schram came to my room and explained what was going on and stated he would try to use the Lap incisions to repair the leak but if he was unable to do it that way I would have an open incision. Which ended up happenning. Dr Schram has an excellent bedside manner and is surgically competent. Knowing what I do now( having leak) I would have him do my surgery all over again and highly recommend him. I like that prior to going into surgery he says a prayer with you.

I thought he was really nice. He actually was the doctor who removed my gall bladder 14 yrs ago.rnrnHe explained everything very well.rn

This surgeon is very personable. I work with alot of surgeons in my profession and he really impressed me.

Dr. Schram is a great doctor. He is personable, says a prayer with you prior to going into surgery and makes sure you understand what he is doing. I just had to go back and have my gallbladder out and I choose Dr. Schram for this as well since he knew what he did with my RNY - I felt safe.rnI had my surgery at Barix clinc in Ypsilanti, MI. and it was a wonderful place. All the nurses were outstanding.

He answered every question (and there were lots) thrown at him. Then he brought in someone who had the surgery to talk to me as well. The day of the surgery my mother was impressed because he asked to say a quick prayer with me. The appointments go quickly but he does not rush nor does he brush off questions or concerns. I find him to be an excellent doctor:knowledgeable and good bedside manner.
