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

Dr. Schram made a great first impression on me. He seemed concerned about his patients and was very honest about the procedure and what to expect. The office staff was wonderful and has taken care of all my needs in a very quick manner. They have been kind and professional. I think his bedside manner and competence are both great. I trusted him completely.

He was totally awesome and caring. He answered all of my questions. Everyone in his office is so nice and helpful, many having the surgery themselves.

I loved Dr. Schram. He seemed to really care about me as a person not just another patient. He prayed with me and my husband before surgery. That ment alot. I would recommend him to anyone thinking about weight loss surgery. I have no complaits about dr schram or the hospital staff. It was a good experience. I came home in no pain. And still feeling great! I am only 3 weeks out from surgery and people when they see me cannot believe that I had surgery. I am a very happy patient!

Dr Schram is the BEST!!!! He is very caring, prayed with me before surgery and his technique is amazing. I had open rny and the incision is barely noticeable and flat. Did I say he is the BEST???? rn His office staff was very helpful and encouraging when my surgery had to be delayed because of insurance reasons. rn I only spent a few minutes during my followup visits with him, but he was willing to answer any questions. I didn't feel rushed. rn I only met with him once pre surgery, but he explained the procedure and why he chose open for me and was willing to answer my questions. rnrn<img src =\"http://www.turningpointedonkeyrescue.com/luci%20card3.jpg\">

I've decided to go with Dr Schram from the Barix Clinics. My first impression of him was he was a kind, gentle soul and he answered all of my questions that I had even the difficult ones for the surgeons.

I choose Dr. Schram because I had worked with him when he was a resident. He did good work then and I knew I could trust him with my surgery. He did not disappoint me. Thank you, Dr. Schram!!

Dr Jon L Schram!!!! Can you say the most AWESOME man besides God himself and of course my daddy (RIP) and hubby and oh my father in law. Seriously though, Dr Schram is very very intelligent, skilled, warm hearted, a genious in his field, and the list could go on and on. I would DEFINATELY recommend Dr Schram to perform your WLS surgery. My incisions are perfect, I haven't had any trouble. He prayed with my husband and I before surgery that was so sweet and caring. He does this with everyone and God sure does guide his hand, mind, and soul. I had only seen him in scrubs both times I had met him so when he visited my room before he went home that evening, I was like WHOAH what a babe! :) I heard he is single, I thought he was married. Maybe he is I don't know but I have a couple of friends I could introduce him to. Giggle. Thank you Dr Schram, you mean so much to me and you are in my daily prayers as well. Jackie G

I had my initial consult on May 9, 2005 and thought that Dr. Schram was very informative. He answered all of my questions in a very thorough and professional manner. Dr. Schram described the surgery in great detail and I left his office feeling very confident that this is the right thing for me.rnrnDawn was my counselor at Doctor Schram's office and she too was very informative about things like after care and what to expect.rnrnI felt like I was in great hands going into surgery, Doctor Schram left me feeling very at ease and even said a prayer with me before surgery.rnrnI am VERY pleased with my surgeon and would highly recommend him to anyone!

I went to Barix Clinic in Holland Michigan on the advice of 2 people. One was the sister of a co-worker who had had the surgery done and the other was on the advice of my husband's pyschiatrist. I am extremely glad that I followed their advice. rnrnMy first meeting with Dr Schramm, was in a group setting during the seminar, and I was impressed with the amount of time he took to answer everyone's questions and his thorough explanation of both the RNY and the Lapband procedure. I also had a one on one consult with him after the seminar in which he took time to carefully go over my medical history and I answered his questions regarding my health. At the end of this consult, he held my hand in both of his and stated, \"We are going to be able to help you regain your health\". I knew I had found a caring doctor.rnrnOf course, on the day of my surgery, he completely relaxed me and I knew God had put me in his hands when before he left me in pre-op he laid his hand on my shoulder and prayed. My spirit soared and a wonderful calmness washed over me.rnrnThe only negative that I can say about him is that he is not \"chatty\". You will not get any small talk, he is strictly business but for me that's what I want. I depend on God to relax me, reassure me and guide me to the right people and God knows I don't want anyone who is a bit chatty..lolrnrnI must say that I have thanked God every day for guiding me to Barix Clinic and Dr. Schramm. rnrnOnce I have my next visit, I'll let you know about his post-op manner..;)rnrnPlease remember all statements here are purely my own personal statements and do not represent this website or the views of anyone else.

I first met Dr. Schram when he conducted a WLS seminar that I attended at Barix clinics in Holland. He presented the information clearly, and concisely and was very patient and thorough when potential candidates asked questions. He addressed both the pro's and con's and stressed that WLS was a tool for our use, not a cure for obesity. He has a phenomenal track record in the bariatric field and places a lot of emphasis on aftercare, which I have been very pleased with. The office staff is second to none and I would highly recommend Barix clinics and Dr. Schram to anyone interested in WLS. On the day of my surgery, I was exceedingly apprehensive and scared (like most pre-op's, I'm sure) and he came to me, held my hand and asked my husband and me if he could pray with us before surgery. I realize that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was very appropriate for us and I am greatful to him for his reasurrance and skills. He has given me a new, healthy lease on life and I have had no complications or complaints. Rock on, Dr. Schram!
