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

I have met with Dr. Bauman one time so far. The consult visit.
Being a red-head I noticed his right off too..lol.
Dr. Bauman was direct, no-nonsense in his information about the GBS both good and bad. He answered all the questions I had at the time, rather patiently too I might add. After reading 100's of posts I can say he touched on about every subject of concern I have read about so far. Just wait til he gets my next list of questions..lol
Over all..meeting Dr Bauman for a brief time gave me confidence in his ability to do this surgery for me.
Office Staff: They were very friendly ..willing to answer questions and offer a laugh or two along the way.
Will offer more as time goes on ...

I looked at Dr. Bauman and I knew right then that he was going to play. I was a smoker and he looked at me and told me that if i wated to have this surgery I would have to stop smoking , because he would not touch me at all untill i have stoped for 3 months.. Well, from that day i knew that i had to be true to my self if i wanted this...
I would tell anyone that if they wanted to meet a great doctor and was thinking about haveing this surgery done I would go see Dr. Roc Bauman..

Very through. Won't do surgery unless all is well with patient. The second time I met him , he seemed more real and I liked him. His office staff was very nice and very helpful every time I called. I liked everything about him. Can't say anything I didn't like. Don't go to him unless you are committed to doing what he tells you you shoukld do. He doesn't discuss aftercare with you much until after surgery and then he is very thorough. Yes he is very structured. He has support groups and his staff is available to you almost all the time if you need anything. The risks of surgery are fully discussed ahead of time. Overall I woukd rate him a 10 out of 10.Both surgical competence and bed side manner are equally great.

I was very impressed with Dr. Bauman. I was refered to him by a good friend of mine and I thought he was excellent. Very honest and very detailed. I liked that fact that he was also VERY strict about his program. His staff was also very knowledgable and extremely helpful. I have yet to say anything bad about he and his staff to be perfectly honest wth you.

I found dr Bauman to be very professional and concerned about my overall success. He and his staff are strictly about business and he came accross as well qualified. The aftercare program thfough the dietician he recommends is good. The doctor definitely ensured that I understood the risks involved with the surgery. I had no complications and found the surgery to be quite easy!

I have been very impressed with Dr B and his staff. I felt like I was calling them all the time to ask questions but they never minded. When I had my consultation Dr B had me watch a video he did a couple years ago which went over the technical aspects of the different types of surgery. For me it was a bit of review, since I did a lot of research before even scheduling a consultation, but my support person found it very informative. After the video, my friend and I were waiting for Dr B and were talking about the Harry Potter books and when he came in he joined in our conversation. I felt very confortable with him. He was very personable but not overly so and he was extremely professional. I feel like I've made the best choice in waiting to have surgery until now. When I lived in Statesville I was refer to a doctor in which I did not have the confidence I have in Dr B.

I have 100% confidence in Dr. Bauman & his staff. I haven't met anyone in the office who hasn't been completely friendly and on top of things.

Dr Bauman is a wonderful and caring Doctor. His office and staff were and still are wonderful to me. They have helped and answered questions from day one. Dr Bauman is very detailed about his work and takes great pride in helping other to have a better life. If you live anywhere in the Charlotte/Concord area don't wait-Go see Dr Bauman and start a better life.

When my husband and I walked into Dr. Bauman's office he was sitting in the office and I walked up to the glass and he looked at me and waved at me as if he had known me all his life. He was so friendly and helpful. The office staff was also very sweet and informative. I am looking forward to getting scheduled for surgery.

my first impression of dr bauman was that he was very knowledgable in his profession and also cared about what was the best option for the patient. his office staff was very professional and polite and offered to help me in any way possible, before and after surgery. dr bauman is very adamant that a patient be totally committed to a life-style change after surgery. if you think this is a one-time thing and you don't have to watch you diet and do exercise, then you need not even apply. dr bauman requires that a post-op patient see a nutritionist every month for 1 year to make sure they are getting enough nutrients and are eating the right foods. this program is mandatory. before the actual consultation you have to watch a video about all types of gastric bypasses and then dr bauman discusses the type of bypass he performs and the risks of it. he really wants you to understand that this is major surgery and with major surgery comes big risks. he really likes for the patient to have done some research on the bypass on their own so that they realize that it is indeed a life-style change. mr bauman's office is very busy. it took me almost 3 months to get a consultation with him and the consultation lasted close to 3 hours. my first experience with dr bauman and his staff was a very good one.
