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

When I talked w/Dr. Bauman's office the lady said that Coventry Ins. did not have a contract with them and she seemed to think they would not approve the surgery, but she put my name on the list and told me to let her know when I heard from them. I've always believed that "where there's a will, there's a way," and I just have to find that WAY!! Say a prayer for me!

I have my first appt with DR. Bauman in Sept. I will let you know then.

I met with Dr. Bauman on June 29th. He seemed to be very knowledgeable and took his time to explain the surgery. He wanted to make sure I was aware of the risks and show me exactly how the surgery would be performed. The staff in his office seemed very nice. I have not had any problems at all from anyone there.

I emailed Dr. Bauman to inquire if he was accepting Medicaid patients. He was very courteous in his email and desiring to help any way that he and his office could.

Will have my consultation the first week of September.

Have seen Dr Bauman one time. He was very informative and said that I was a canidate for surgery. He said since I lived out of town a good ways I would have to stay in town for a week so I would be close to him. Also will have to stay in a program where they will follow my progress and help me for a year after.

i thought he is a dr. who really cares about his pts. we spent a good hour with him first visit.i can't say alot right now cause i haven't had my surgery yet . i'm down for 8,6,01. i have been waiting almost three years for this. i had hopes of haveing the mini gastric bypass by dr robert rotledge but that did not come to be . i found that dr. bauman also did the mini gastric bypass and went there in hopes of haveing it and rotledge was closed down and now until the powers at be say its ok we are back to the ruen-y.what i like least is i could not convince him to do one more mgb even as a ginni pig. but i tried. and showed me that heis very ethical and is going to do the right thing even if it not what he would maybe prefer.i'll really have to ans. the rest of your questions after my surgery cause i don't have the ans. now.

Dr. Bauman is very personable and knowledgeable. He is thorough, asked lots of questions and answered all of my questions. He really wants you to understand that this isn't a decision that you should take lightly. He is a skilled surgeon and has a great bedside manor. He truely cares about each and every one of his patients.

I really liked my surgeon.I meet him on my 2nd visit to the Bariatric Treatment Center in Annharbor, mi. He seemed very interested in me& my problems.He also listened to my questions& gave me direct answers. He did not sugar coat anything. He told me the risks& the benifts.He seemed to really care about what happened to me.I loved the staff. They made me feel at home. Be sure to write down your questions before you see him. Thats always a good idea. They have a great after program. He exspects you to come back for check-ups.I would rate him a 8. No one is perfect.I would say that his competence is better than his bedside maner, but his bedside maner is ok.If you have anyother questions just e-mail me. Galye hall
