Dr. Hill is phenomenal! I had VSG on 5/27/14 and honestly couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. He definitely put my family and I at ease before surgery and answered any questions we may have had. He stopped in to visit me often post-op and was always checking in on me and encouraging me. He has an extremely comforting demeanor and truly cares about his patients. Dr. Hill is amazing!

I have never met a greater Doctor, or a more talented person. His skills go way beyond surgery. His greatest talent is his bedside manor and ability to keep you positive and totally trust him in this adventure. I never once had a doubt I was in the best hands I could ever ask for for my surgery and follow ups.

I had the Duodenal Switch done this past Wednesday 1/9/13...and Dr. Hill was absolutely amazing, surgery went beautifully! He is such a down to earth person and not only made myself feel comfortable and confident, but was also able to put my family at ease as well.I was able to go home Friday morning. Let me tell you..Adirondack Medical Center and all of there staff are awesome...Could not have had a better surgeon, or hospital stay!

I can't say enough positives about Dr. Hill. He is truly a great surgeon, and as all other posts proclaim his bedside manner is impeccable, he is friendly, warm, and makes you feel that you are going to succeed. I am currently 4 weeks post op and his follow up care has been great as well. I am so glad I chose him, and I would recommend him to anyone else looking for a great surgeon in the Adirondacks.

I met with dr. Hill today 11/15/12 for my pre opt appt . Before my surgery on 11/20. You know how they have a MCdreamy on grays anatomy, well dr hill is the MCdreamy of adirondack medical Ctr. He was very friendly and pleasant to talk to, you understood everything and made my husband and me so much more relaxed for the up coming surgery. . He answered all questions so you would understand, and the girls in that department make you feel like they have known you for a long time. Thanks for making me calm for this procedure. I will let you know how everything went on the other side of 11/20. : )

Dr. Hill has been caring and informative throughout my journey in AMCs Bariatric Program. He performed Lap RNY on me on 7/3/2012. Surgery went smoothly. I've had a few bumps along the way that he's made sure to take care of immediately. He's a nice guy with a professional bedside manner, he has a very pleasant and playful personality. He spends time explaining exactly how the procedure goes and explains all the statistics, good and bad. I felt well prepared going into surgery. He visited often while I was hospitalized post op and is good at what he does. I've had relatives and friends recommend him and I'm grateful I took their advice. He is lucky to also have a great team behind him in the Bari Center. They are all helpful and encouraging. I would recommend AMCs program to anyone.

Dr. Hill of Adirondack Medical in Saranac Lake, NY is a great surgeon. He always made me feel confident in my choice and i never had a doubt that I would succeed in my weight loss. He's very professional but also very happy and pleasant. I've lost 45# during my 12 weeks post op Duodenal Switch surgery. I have had no problems. Dr. Hill and his staff at the Bariatric Center are very helpful and informative.
i just had my surgery on june 5 i have lost 40lbs so far and doing ok besides not keeping anything down.i thought Dr. Hill was and is the best dr i have ever had. his bedside manor is amazing. i would recommend this surgery to anyone who is looking to lose alot of weight. i was scared for a while but once i met him my anxiety level went way down. i loved how nice linda the nurse was she came and saw me everyday i was there and even did a follow up call asking how im doing. i cant wait to eat semi solids and not have dumping. so to all who have health issues due to your health or need to lose a bunch of weight go here!!!!you wont regret it.again thank you so much Dr. Hill for changing my life literally. my family appreciates it!
I found Dr. Hill extremely likeable, he sat down with me and my wife and took us through the procedure step by step. he warned us of the dangers and was there for me every step of the way. after the surgery he checked on me at least once a day if not more, he scheduled a two year aftercare progam for me, his manner both bedside and surgical are excellent, on a scale of 1 - 10 i would give him a 9+ , he truely is that good
