Rita Hadley Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS, PhD




I originally chose to have surgery with Dr. Maguire but he was booked until the first of the year. I heard wonderful things about Dr. Hadley, who has trained under Dr. Maguire extensively.
I actually met with Dr. Hadley Dec. 16th & she was just a doll. She went over her requirements, took the time to listen to me & answer my questions & then gave me a big hug before she walked out.
Dr. Hadley me made feel completely at peace with my decision & I am ready to go!
My first impression of Dr. Maguire was that he was a very quiet, soft spoken surgeon. As he spoke during the required info session, I could tell how extremely qualified that he was.
After Dr. Maguire answered all of my questions, I could tell that he was a very compassionate, caring & responsible surgeon. I immediately felt as though I wasn't another "dollar" to him....I was an actual person struggling with a disease for which he could help me with every step of the way.
There wasn't a thing that I didn't like about him.
Aftercare is a life long requirement for him. He wants to be involved with his patients for life & this again makes me feel so at ease. Dr. Maguire's patients have support groups for both RNY & BPD D/S patients & there is also websites where you can post & get instant feedback from former patients.
Dr. Maguire conveyed all of the risks of each surgery as well as all of the benefits.
I would rate him a 100 on a scale of 1 to 10...I just cannot say enough good things about him.

I really like Dr. Hadley. I had been referred to an infectious disease doctor to deal with the infection and the abscesses, but she found out he wasn't responding in what I felt was a timely manner, she took charge of the matter. She's very bright, proactive, and responds quickly to her patients' needs.

She's great - took 25 minutes to talk w/ me in the dining room of the hospital. Needless to say, nonbillable time, but she gave freely, answered all my questions, very courteous, friendly, and gracious. And I hear good things from other post-op patients, so I feel good about choosing her to do my RNY.

Dr. Hadley is the best! Besides being very competent, she is extremely kind and caring. Her office staff has always greeted me with a smile and I feel very comfortable there. The entire surgical staff seems to stress the importance of aftercare. During the seminar, she made us aware of the risks of surgery and didn't try to downplay it. Overall I believe I made the best possible choice!

Dr. Hadley is a beautiful, confident, and personable surgeon. She is the only female bariatric surgeon at New Life Surgery Center and that is why I chose to go with her. I haven't regretted my decision yet. The NLS office at Kettering Medical Center is wonderful - the staff is extremely polite and I didn't feel like an idiot when I called with questions. The orientation program they have is great and answers a lot of questions about the two different kinds of surgeries. Overall, I would rate her a nine out of ten (just because no one is perfect!)
