Richard Stahl Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

Dr. Stahl was straight to the point of all the risks and complications. I like him before going under I saw him and he asked if everyhting was ok. He was really great. You should know that he is not a real talker, he will say what he has to say and answer any questions. He is a real surgeon type. But thats what I likee. I wanted someon who was as serious about this as I was.

Dr. Stahl was kind, very professional, and direct. He explained the procedure and went into all the risks involved after the surgery. The office staff was great. Very friendly and courteous. There was hardly any waiting. Everything was smooth and organized.

HE WAS A WONDERFUL AND CARING DOCTOR.HE REMAINED AS WONDERFUL AS THE FIRST TIME I MET HIM.THE STAFF WAS VERY NICE AND TALKED TO YOU WITH KINDNESS.AS FAR AS THE SURGERY AND THE OVERALL CARE,I COULDNT ASK FOR ANYONE I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH OR LIKED.

He was wonderful. I really liked my surgeon. He was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions. He took very good care of me.

Dr. Stahl was very informative and answered all my questions that I had. His staff was very helpful through out my time with him.

DR Stahl seem to be a very kind, informative, to the point, down to earth man, the office staff seem to be very kind, thoughful, and helpful. As of yet,I found nothing that I disliked about Dr.Stahl. Future patients should know that Dr. Stahl is a person that gives all the info that is possibleand takes his timedoing so, he is not in a hurry,answers all your questions, but he is very adamnat about his patients understanding the risks involving this type of surgery or any type of surgery for that matter.He addresses aftercare and again answers all the questions that you have concerning before and aftercare, he stresses that you mustfollow instructions after the surgery. So far I would give Dr.Stahl a rating1-10, a 10, he is puncual, and kind. I would say that Dr. Stahl has both, a pleasing bedside manner and surgical competence, which both were demostrated

I chose Cahaba Valley Surgical Group to do my bariatric surgery. I have heard good things about all the surgeons and was willing to use any of them. My first appointment was for 9/3/04 and with a couple of cancellations and change of physicians, I ended up getting a consultation with Dr. Stahl on 6/18/04! BIG DIFFERENCE! Lots of thanks to Evelyn, as well as the rest of the office staff. They are all so super-nice and helpful. Dr. Stahl was very informative about the procedure, risks and benefits, and took as much time as was needed for all of this. He did not make me feel hurried at all. Very nice. I feel really comfortable having him as my surgeon.

he is very professional and doesn't sugar coat anything.the office staff is very good so far. The risks of surgery were addressed very well. so far we haven't really got into aftercare yet.

Very impressed, I had consulted with Dr. Clements *(UAB) before, but Dr. Stahl took more time and outlined the risks. He didn't make it all rosy and that's what I liked about him.

02/27/04 - Consultation with Surgeon. I was impressed with how courteously I was treated by Dr. Stahl's staff. Dr. Stahl had been highly recommended to me. I was impressed, not only by his professionalism, but also by his friendliness. He allowed me all the time I needed to ask him my list of questions, and answered them quite adequately. He was thorough about the risks as well as the benefits of the laparoscopic Roux-en-y method of gastric bypass surgery. After my initial consultation, I feel very comfortable having Dr. Stahl as my surgeon.
