Steven Simper Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS, FASMBS

Well I have had my surgery date rescheduled three times in the last 3 weeks. I feel that it is uneccessary. But where else can I go, there they only ones in the area that perform the surgery. I have been so frustrated that I don't know if I should blame the surgeons or their office staff. I wish they would all get their act together. So for now my date is set for Dec. 17th, we'll see if it happens or not.

Dr. Simper was very personable. He was through in his expaliantions. He answered my questions and seemed to really care about his job.
The office staff was efficient. When I got to the office for my consultaion, I didn't even have to wait. In fact the had only sceduled the appoint ment the day before, so there was no wait at all! I was very pleased about this.
They didn't say much about aftercare, but I do know that there is a support group that meets once a month. There is also a pre-op class that you have to go to about 1 week before your surgery, so I am hopeful that more will be said then.

Dr. Simper seemed very professional. he did not try to sell the surgery, but explained its successes and failures. He was very upfront about the risks involved and answered all questions.
Post surgery he was very good on his visits. He answers all questions, even dumb ones from my wife.

I met Dr. Simper on 8/30/01. My appointment was for 10:00 am and I was called back within 5 minuites for the weigh in and height measurement. They took me immediatly to a room and Dr. Simper was there waiting to follow me in. He was very nice, explained the risks, pro's & con's and answered my questions clearly. I then went to Mindy who schedules surgery and got scheduled, turned in my LOA & STD papers and was out of the office before 11:00 am. I wish my OBGYN was this quick! The office has a $5oo. program fee for after care, dietians etc. I was impressed with the whole office staff I delt with.

I really like Dr. Simper alot. He is able to joke around , yet will thouroghly answer your questions. I have absolutely nothehing negative to say about Dr. Simper!
