Kent Sasse Bariatric Surgeon M.D., MPH, FACS, FASCRS, FASMBS

Dr. Sasse is a great surgeon. He has a manner that is comforting and expounds of competence. He is young and on the leading edge of his profession. His care before, during, and after surgery are exceptional. He uses real life experiences to put you at ease. He tells stories of his family and the belief differences that cause obesity.....He stated once, sugar is the root of all bad things....and if it was up to him it wouldn't be in his house....his wife and kids........like a bit of sugar...........He is a 10!rnrn

I was so lucky to get Dr. Sasse. He is a great Doctor and speaker, very kind and caring.

Dr. Sasse is an excellent surgeon. My first impression of him was that he was very quiet and reserved. However, he was more than eager to answer any and all of my questions and had a very calming way about him. His office staff was more than willing to assist me and was very pleasant. I would recommend Dr. Sasse to any patient who is exploring a lap-band surgery. My husband can hardly believe how clean-cut my incisions looked after surgery and how quickly they healed. I am only 2 1/2 months post-op and my largest scar where they placed the port has already gone down to less than 1 1/2 inches in length. Overall, Dr. Sasse has an excellent bedside manner, surgical expertise, and is a very compassionate human being. It is good to know there are Doctors like him out there.

DR. SASSE IS THE BEST!!! I HAD THE GASTRIC BYPASS ON 01-18-2006 I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 2 1/2 DAYS. THE SURGERY WENT VERY WELL. MY FAMILY AND I WERE SO PLEASED WITH DR. SASSE, AS SOON AS MAY SURGERY WAS OVER DR. SASSE WENT RIGHT OUT AND TALKED WITH MY FAMILY. I THINK THE WAY DR. SASSE HANDLED MY CASE WAS THE BEST I COULD OF EXPECTED. MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF DR. SASSE WAS HE KNOWS HIS STUFF. HE HAD AN ANSWER TO ALL MY QUESTIONS. THE OFFICE STAFF IS ALSO VERY VERY GOOD, I GIVE THEM 100%. ANOTHER THING DR. SASSE BED SIDE MANNER WAS GREAT AS WELL. I WOULD RATE DR. SASSE AND HIS STAFF AT 100%...I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE WHO READS THIS TO AT LEAST HAVE A SIT DOWN WITH DR. SASSE, I KNOW YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH THE BEST IMPRESSION POSSIBLE.

DR. SASSE THANK YOU FOR A SECOND CHANCE ON LIFE, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.

My surgeon is Dr. Sasse, and I believe him to be an excellent surgeon and a sensitive and compassionate human being. We have come a long way together. I've ended up having 4 surgeries related to my banding, and with each surgery I came to respect him more. I feel that despite the post op infections I had, Dr. Sasse did everything within his power to ensure that I would have a good outcome. I wish the Band would have worked for me, but do not blame Dr. Sasse at all for the complications I've had. If you have any questions, please email me.

Dr. Sasse was pleasant and very approachable about any thing medically you wanted to talk about. He focused alot on the risks instead of the positives which is important to be a ware of.

I really do like Dr. Sasse. I felt very comfortable with him from the first visit. I felt that he answered all of my questions very well, and helped me overcome my fears. He has an excellent reputation, and a wonderful success rate. He follows studies of this surgery very closely and was able to give me statistical information to help ease my family's fears. I found him very professional, as well as caring and friendly. He does stress aftercare and support groups. I would rate him as excellent for all the above reasons. His surgical competence is well known all over the country and his bedside manner is very kind and considerate.

It is just my opinion, but I felt his staff left a lot to be desired.

My first impression was that he was soft spoken but very smart and to the point.He made me and my husband feel very comfortable.His office staff was very nice and helpful.Plus they were fast to return calls.There was nothing I dident like about him.His after care program is a contract for three years that you have to go see him at 1 week post op 1 month post op 3 months post op 6 months post op and 1 year 2 year and 3 year post op.Plus there is a very extensive online after care program.
He was very sure to tell you all the risks.
He was a wonderful surgen and I would and do recomend him to EVERY one.

My first impression of Dr. Sasse was a great one. He is a very kind person and is interested in helping with the obesity problem in America. His office staff is very knowledgable and helpfull. The only complaint I have is they are so busy,you can't call and talk to a person all calls are directed to an answering machine and they will call you back when they get a chance. This can be a little discouraging but then again what part of this process isn't??

A young good looking man with a lot of knowlege about his profession. I felt comfortable with him from day one. He's kind of shy but willing to talk about anything you ask him. Western Surgical has a large and very competant staff who are more than willing to help you out. We have an online connection where you enter weights, exercise etc and they keep an eye on your progress, and answer any questions. I would highly highly recommend Dr. Sasse and his staff. Aftercare so far has been superb.
