THIS POSTED AND SAID I DIDNT MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT MY DOCTOR ...WELL LET ME SAY THIS HES THE BEST DOCTOR I HAVE EVER HAD HE CARES ABOUT THIS PROGRAM WITH ALL HIS HEART AND SO DOES EVERYONE IN HIS OFFICE AND IT SHOWS. HE HAS ALWAYS LOOKED PAST MY WEIGHT AND TOLD ME THATS I CAN DO THIS EVEN WHEN I GOT SICK DR. KEITH IS A LIFE SAVER AND I LOVE HIM AND HIS STAFF FOR MAKING THIS POSSIABLE FOR ME. DR KEITH IN MY EYES WILL ALWAYS BE #1 IF YOU ARE IN OKLAHOMA HES THE BEST DOCTOR HERE......THNK YOU DR KEITH
My first impression of Dr. Keith was one of a caring doctor who is doing his best to see that those having WLS have enough info to make an informed decision to have the surgery. He also stressed his post-op care and the role each of us plays in our own success. This impression came after attending a seminar and hearing him speak and involve himself in a question and answer session. I have only just had my consultation with him. My opinion hasn't changed. Of course, I could change my opinion a lot over the course of this experience. Time will tell. I am just now setting up my appointments with the 'Big 4".
My first impression of Dr. Keith was that he was a little on the quiet side. As I got to know him more, he became like a friend as well as my surgeon. He is very easy to talk to and responds well to each person. His office staff has changed from when I began my journey, but, so far everyone seems to be good at what their task is. Jerry, his brother, is the office manager and is doing an excellent job of making it run smoothly. Dr.Keith is very insistant on his program and the way it is done. He demands his patients be cared for in a certain way and expects his patients to do their part in the pre and post phase. He does not take this surgery lightly. He expects attendence at support group prior to surgery and recommends it afterwards. His follow-up is an important part of the overall plan to make sure the patient is where they should be. He was very upfront about the risks and hopes his patient has researched the surgery. As far as rating him, if I were to require surgery of any kind that he would do, he would be the one I would go to. I trust him very much. I had a partial bowel obstruction after my surgery which caused problems, due to some of the bowel not going back into place. I had no qualms about him fixing it and he did a great job.
They will be moving his office to Norman, Oklahoma in August so lots of changes are on the way. He plans to have most everything for the pre-op testing available there so everything can be done more efficiently and quickly. Scheduling will be better also.
I would highly recommend him to anyone considering WLS.
Dr. Keith does expect certain things from everyone and will not hesitate to let you know if you are not following or don't intend to follow his program like he wants.
I had my consultation today, they did an EKG and labwork previous to visiting with surgeon. I am not completely sure what I think about the doc on my first visit. I am not getting a good vibe from his office staff and maybe that is affecting the bigger picture. The office staff seems very young and inexperienced. There is a definate lack of mature professionalism. The nurse/ekg/labwork tech named Sammie seems to be the best thing going right now. I hope she stays a while.
Dr. Keith said that I did not do well on a previous Weight Watchers attempt and is concerned that I may not do well on the after care program. Good point.
Dr. Keith and his office staff are wonderful you could not ask for a better team of medical professionals. Dr. Keith is very easy to talk with. He is understanding and doesn't judge you like most people do. I think the after care that Dr. Keith has is wonderful. He wants to see you about every 6 weeks to check weight loss and blood work. I would recommend Dr. Keith and his office staff to anyone in Oklahoma City who is looking for a doctor to do WLS.
my first impression of him was great because all i was told is he done a great job on my friend and she lost alot of her weight. no, my impression did n't change it got even better i am so impressed with him the next person that ask me who my doctor is and they are wanting this proceeder i will tell them that dr ronnie keith is excellent . and his staff are real great . there is nothing i didn't like about him my surgery went so good and i am glad i had him as my surgeron .
i think it good to have both a surgical competence and a great bed side mannar . u will get far in this world
He did a wonderful job.
My surgurgy was not very painful; not what I thought it might be.
His office staff is very kind and helpful.
I would recommend him to anybody looking for a surgeon in the Oklahoma City area.
He has a very structured aftercare program.
He is very straight forward about the risks of surgery.
I would rate him very high on surgical competence and bedside manner.
