My husband and I were both very impressed with Dr Dutta from the very beginning, that has not changed at all. He is very kind, considerate and makes sure to take the time to answer any and all of your questions. After surgery he called to check up on me when I was at home. Prior to surgery when I would email him questions he would get back to me in a timely manner. There was some questions about if my esophagus working properly so I had to do additional testing prior to him deciding if I could still have the surgery. He let me know where to look up on the website to find out what it all was about. He is very serious about what he does and the people he is helping. Aftercare, support groups and exercise are allt hings that he emphasizes every time I have seen him. We were informed of all the risks the different surgeries I had could entail, he didn't sugar coat anything. He is one of the best doctors I have ever had. My family was more nervous about this then I was because I had done research for almost 2 years before deciding on this journey. After one visit to him my husband was completely at ease with him and felt like his questions were just as important to Dr Dutta as mine were. He doesn't make you feel rushed or like any question is a dumb one to ask. I think surgical competence is more important then bedside manner. Dr Dutta has both as does Dr Hahn who assisted with my surgery and saw me as well when I was in the hospital on Dr Dutta's day off. I can't say enough about Dr Dutta, Dr Hahn or Kaiser Fremont Medical Center. For all that I had done at once especially I have never felt more at ease and comfortable at a hospital. I only had a problem with one young nurse assistant becasue she was to busy paying attention to the young orderlies then in helping me like she was supposed to.
loved the surgeon and staff, they are the best in the world!!!!!! everything is respectful and polite i give them all a 15 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best!
My husband and I have been extremely impressed with the thourough preparation and professionalism of both Dr. Dutta and his staff. We had to travel 6 hours each way for appointments and they worked with us on scheduling, and they were always on time. The surgery went amazingly well, and I couldn't be more pleased with the care and treatment. They were informative, up front about possible complications, and strict about our responsibilites before and after the surgery. I would rate him as absolutely fantastic!
Dr. Dutta is not an outgoing personality and his bedside manner is somewhat lacking, but he is a very skilled surgeon and did a fabulous job with my procedure. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the surgery and possible outcomes and side effects.
The office staff gives the appearance of being overworked and understaffed and it is not a welcoming place to visit. I realize that they are dealing with around 1,500 patients who are all somewhere in the lengthy approval process that Kaiser delivers. However, the staff that provide the educational components of the program are wonderful and very helpful.
While I found the 21 month approval process to be frustrating, I was well prepared and well educated about the outcomes. I have had no complications so far (knock on wood) and have had a great recovery. I would recommend both the procedure and this facility to any patient considering RNY bypass.
Dr. Dutta was great. He was honest, direct, and encouraging. I had to move when I was only 4 months post-op so I missed the opportunity to get to know him even better. From what I know I would give him an A+++
My first impression of him was great. I was really shocked to see him so often in the hospital checking on us. Overall I would rate him a 10 out of 10.
Dr. Dutta was the surgeon who spoke at my orientation on July 31st...I was impressed with him then and even MORE impressed after meeting with him on September 9th...he is straightforward yet approachable...and his explanation of the surgery and risks and answers to my questions/concerns gave me that feeling of confidence that I am doing the right thing...he and the staff I met with at the consult (nutritionist, anesthesiologist, surgery coordinator, and medical assistants)were all very pleasant and comfortable to talk with...more comments to come following surgery!
My first impression of Dr. Dutta was just a sense of comfort. He was very easy to talk to and answered all questions. He is very warm and "down to earth". The office staff is very helpful and caring. They were very happy for the new life I am about to have. I feel that Kaiser has a strict policy to follow for good reason. They require a lot of education prior to surgery, however that is very important when someone is changing their whole life. I would give Dr. Dutta and his staff 10 out of 10!! I have no complaints whatsoever!!
Very impressive. Right from the start he was truthful and stated the facts of the risk we are taking. My husband who was not for the surgery went with me to orientation and he felt very good afterwards. He was very impressed with Dr Dutta. His staff, Nancy the project coordinator is very help full and Kathleen the scheduler is very nice. Kaiser has a very structured waiting period and many levels that you must go through before approval as well as after approving your surgery. You have time and knowledge of the risks and life changing behavior habits. I feel totaly safe and assured that I will be just fine during surgery. I would rate Dr Dutta the highest rating, and I haven't even had my surgery yet (3/28).
4-16-05 Now that my surgery is over with, I can say that Dr Dutta is outstanding in his field. I even asked him durning my post-op appt if he would do the Hernia repair surgery that I will need, and he told me yes he would do it. I have no worries what so ever now, I will be in god gifted hands. I am so happy he will continue helping me.
