Roc W. Bauman, MD, FACS, FASMBS Bariatric Surgeon Medical Director at CMC-NorthEast

Dr. Bauman and his entire staff are amazing. It took 2 months to get a consultation appointment after I went to the seminar but I'm glad I waited instead of going with someone else. I met with them yesterday for my initial consultation and I have to admit I was more than a little nervous. But they are so welcoming and put me at ease almost immediately. I felt very comfortable talking with them and beginning this process. They were very patient in answering my questions and making sure I was well informed. Overall they are great and for the first time in a very long time I have hope, all thanks to Dr B and his staff. I will update again after my next visit.

I would not recommend this provider. This week I was making the final appointment required on the list of surgery prerequisites and was notified for the first time there is a $640 required fee paid for Nutritionist services. The office reportedly does not "bill out" for Nutritionist services which is fine. But they do not disclose this fee during the seminar or at any point until you are near the end of pre-surgery testing. When I asked the doctor to disclose all other potential fees which have not been disclosed I got a call from Angie telling me the dr thinks I should find another provider. If you are considering this dr ask lots of questions and get fees in writing so there are no surprises. Outside of that the Seminar is very short only explaining how the surgeries are performed. I've been to better providers its a shame I didn't use them when I had the chance.

Excellent Dr. Can't imagine being a patient anywhere else. No nonsense, straight forward, kick a$$ Doc.

Dr. Roc Bauman is the best. He is genuine and he has excellent bedside manners. He discuss options and allow you to make the choices. He is very through and upfront with you considering his concerns and medical advice. He has an structured program where you visit onsite nutrionist that is always available to answer questions or give you options. His program is setup where you continue receiving services after surgery. Their isn't a specific time frame. I'm 3 years out and still lean on Dr. Bauman and his nutritionist. His surgery competence and bedside manner are graded on a scale of ten plus. I would definitely recommend everyone to see Dr. Bauman for their Bariatric needs. I have nothing bad I could say regarding Dr. Bauman and his staff. He has really changed my life. I am delighted that I chose Dr. Bauman to be apart of my life changing experience. He will always have a friend and patient in me.

Excellent care so far!!!!!!!

DR. BAUMAN IS THE BEST SURGEON EVER HE REALLY TOOK CARE OF ME I WENT IN TO SURGERY ON SEPT 24 AND I WAS RELEASED SEPT 27 AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY COMPLICATIONS AND I WAS NOT ADMITTED ANYMORE I LOVE DR. BAUMAN AND I THANK HIM SO MUCH FOR CHANGING MY LIFE AND GIVING ME A FRESH START AT LIFE!!

It has been five years this December and I am still 100 lbs. down from my surgery and feeling great!

Met with Dr. Bauman last Wednesday and I was very pleased! He explained things so well and really seemed to have my best interest at heart. I like his no nonsense style!

Doc Bauman was great! Little on the serious side but when it came to my healthcare he was A+. 2 days after leaving the hospital i had an issue with tarry stool and the doctor had me go to the ER for some test. Doctor Bauman kept in contact through the whole time with me and the hospital until i was done.

This man is the best!!!! I had gastric bypass with a Fobi pouch. I was out of the hospital, and off of pain meds in 2 days. After one week, I was back at work. He is incredible!!!! He knows what he is doing and he does it very well!!!!
First impression: Nothing to really complain about. He was very thorough. I have read where some people thought he was kind of dry, but I like that.
His office staff: They can be pleasant. They always answer the phone, and the nurses always return calls.
Know this: He is very good at what he does. There is not a staff member in that part of the hospital who doesn't respect him, and all of them know that they better be on it when it comes to his patients!!
Aftercare: He is very thorough about aftercare. He even has a nutritionist in his office that I will see for the next year as part of his plan.
The risks of surgery are discussed at length in a video seen prior to meeting with Dr. Bauman. He will also discuss these in the room with you.
Surgical competence means 100x more to me than bedside manner any day!!!!! I would much rather have a competent doctor with no complications than one who is buttering me up after ruining the rest of my life!!!!!!!!
I would recommend Dr Bauman to any one considering this surgery. For me, I had to drive three hours to get to him when I could have driven 30 minutes to a surgeon here, but it was worth it!!
