Jonathan Schoen Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS and Medical Director

I had my consult with Dr. Schoen today... He, his fellow and entire staff... were simply amazing. I am so impressed and comfortable with his abilities. I asked so many questions.. I watched videos of surgeries before the visit and studied many books and sites. He knew everything I was speaking of, answered every question with thought and precision. I look forward to my appointment with him in the hospital.

Dr. Schoen is wonderful. He's been very informative and caring. His staff is terrific and have gotten everything done quickly. My first consultation with him was on 8/8/07 and my surgery is scheduled for 9/6/07. I was able to do the nutrition class and see the psychologist right away and my insurance approval came in only 2 days. He really emphasizes the after care and makes it perfectly clear that this is a TOOL, not a magic bullet. And I agree with the lady from Loveland...he's a hottie with the most incredible eyes. :-)

I had my first consult and felt great about my choice. Doctor Schoen was very nice and did not seem to be in any kind of rush. The staff was great and did not make me feel bad about myself in anyway. I feel like I am in great hands with Doctor Schoen and his staff. rn

My first impression of Dr. Schoen was that he was very caring. My impression changed for the better I knew that he was sincere and not a phony. The staff was great, all were thin, so I felt a little like they might not understand what I was actually going through. Future patients should know that Dr. Schoen is a good doctor and he does care about each person. Dr Schoen really emphasizes on after care and says that our journey really starts there. I do not think that he had a great structured program for that but his nutritionalist did. He did explain the risks of the surgery throughly, and also the risks if I did not have the surgery. I would rate Dr. Schoen as one of the best from what I have heard. Both his surgical competence and bedside manner were great. After surgery he would come in and sit on the couch in my room and just chat with me, like old friends.

I have just meet Dr. Schoen one time. So far he has been great. He answered all my questions.rnrnDr. Schoen is wonderful. He and his staff took very good care of me when I was in the hospital and have continued to take good care of me. I would recomend him to anybody considering this surgery. He discusses all the options with you and answers all your questions.

Wonderfull staff, wonderful Dr.rn He was very careful to cover everything him self duing the consultation. instead of haveing videos or office staff do it, he made sure he knew I knew everything!! rnI would highly recommend this office, in fact I already Have.rn

Let's see. Dr. Schoen is nice, I suppose. Don't see too much of him, usually see his P.A. and the rest of the office staff. They are terrific, I guess they would have to be to put up with me, hehe. I don't know if everyone notices this about Dr. Schoen, but he kind of seems... annoyed, maybe, by patients? I don't know how to describe it. I just get this feeling everytime I see him that he is thinking, \"Oh GOD, not another patient, I'm soooooo bored, someone PLEASE stab me. GAH.\" or something like that. Maybe it is just me. Sure, he is nice and cares about your well-being (he DOES perform life-saving surgery on you, after all) but perhaps he needs a vacation or something. =D Hehe.

Hi I am just 3 weeks out but I wanted to tell anyone who was intrested about Dr Schoen & his staff. rnDr Schoen was very knowlegable about this surgery. He is caring & considerate in his patient care. Dr Schoen is professional yet approachable. His staff is a credit to him as well.rnWendy is his PA. She is kind and understanding. Wendy takes pride in her job & it shows in her care. rnKelly is his nutritionist. She is knowlegable and informative. She has an answer to any question & if she doesn't, she will research to find the answer. rnChristine, I haven't dielt with much. She seems to be right on top of things.rnAll in all, the staff is the most competent & well trained of any Dr I have ever seen. rnI only had 1 complication while I was in the hospital, my back seized up after the surgery. Other than that, I have had no complications. rnI would have to rate the entire surgical center as a 10. I believe that they, as a team, have made my surgical procedure as smooth as possible.rnThank you, Shelly

'My first impression of Dr. Schoen was wow what a hottie with georgous eyes

My first impression of Dr. Schoen was that he is kind. He makes sure the patient is informed, and you have to meet his criteria in order to get the surgery. His staff was extremely nice and helpful. Future patients should know that Dr. Schoen is very serious at the first visit then he warms up after that. He is really big on aftercare. He has criteria that he wants you to follow. He explained every aspect of the surgery, and what the recovery would be like. He is an amazing surgeon and a nice person. I recomed him to all of my friends considering this procedure.
