Keith S. Gersin Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS, FASMBS

First impressions- Expert surgeon w/ experience and great track record.

I am filling all this out 4 1/2 years after my surgery. rn I liked Dr. Gersin very much. I think he is a good surgeon. He has moved from Cincinnati. The office staff have been great and have grown in knowledge, and always answer all my questions. They are there for me.

Everthing went great 2 nights in the hospital and feeling great 1 week later. I am amazed by how well I feel and how I have experienced no side effects another than a diminished appetite. It's been wonderful.

Dr Gersin did a wonderful job for my lap-band surgery. He answered all questions from the beginning of the journey up until and after surgery. He was very prompt about calling when I had questions after surgery to make sure everything was going okay. The surgery incisions have healed very nicely and with only a small amount of pain at the port site (to be expected). All in all, I am very happy with Dr Gersin for my lap-band procedure. I do wish there had been a bit more response in communication from his office when I had to call prior to surgery. They did respond, but sometimes it was a week or so later. After surgery, their resopnse was very quick.

Dr. Gersin and his staff were awesome. Even though Dr. Gersin had to leave town for a seminar the day after my surgery his parter Dr. Kuwada and Dr. Chen were awesome during the recovery phase. Dr. Gersin is easy to deal with. He is straight to the point and very easy to understand. He does not dumb things down nor does he try and speak over your head. I am 4 days out of my surgery and despite being a little sore I feel great. rnrnThe whole practice was great. Nothing negative to report.

I thought Dr. Gersin did a fine job. I met with him twice before surgery.

Dr. Keith Gersin and his staff proved to be unbelievably professional, sensitive, attentive, and responsible. As a morbidly obese patient seeking weight loss surgery information, I can honestly say that from the moment I made the appointment for the pre-informational focus group, through the insurance approval process, and into the mandatory support group meetings, I have been extremely impressed.rnrnOverall impression:rn rnDr. Gersin is not going to win any bubbly-personality contests (thank God.) He has a \"dryish\" sense of humor, and a very non-arrogant demeanor. I believe he has described himself as a \"simple country surgeon.\" He explains procedures and scenarios using terms that are appropriate for his audience. He does not \"dumb-down\" or patronize his patients, and \"shoots from the hip\"...I personally appreciate his honest & direct approach. He really seemed to be interested in me as a person, not just a candiate for surgery. Bedside manner was appropriate and perfect for me personally; not annoyingly-exciting or fake/flashy, just factual and friendly. The phrase \"grounded and down to earth\" comes immediately to mind.rnrnIf you are looking for the sterotypical surgeon (flashy clothes, flashy car, etc.), Dr. Gersin is not your guy.rnrnIf you are looking for one of the most competent, successful, and trusted bariatric surgeons in the country, then Dr. Gersin is your guy. He's the guy I am trusting my life with. Enough said! :)

Dr. Gersin is an excellent surgeon. He performed my LAP-RNY surgery at UC hospital in Cincinnati, OH. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a caring and compasionate doctor. rnrnDr. Gersin was there to answer all of my questions and concerns when I was making my final decision and not one time did he ever make me feel like my questions were stupid or inappropriate. Even when I asked the same questions thirty times.

I didn't know Dr. Gersin for very long. I was one of his last patients before he moved to hin (current) position. He came very highly recommended and spent a good deal of time with me before my surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Gersin to anyone considering weight loss surgery

I met Dr Gersin at the information meeting in the begining of March.He is from the North and has been doing this surgery for 5 yrs and has done alot of surgeries.I thought he was funny but honest and tells it like it is kind of Doc .I liked that about him since I am the same way.I want to know every little things and he is talkative like me.I think I will love him as I get to know him.I go to him 3/31 .I can't wait .....I am on the road to recovery
