Tim Wheeler Bariatric Surgeon MD

Dr. Wheeler has seen my insides in a way that no one else has... through a scope down my throat and (hopefully a different) scope in my rear. Nice enough guy... I'll see how he stitches me up, then we'll talk.

My first impression was he was friendly but very matter of fact. As I got to know him I found him to be very friendly and does have a good bed side manner, but he does not sugar coat anything. He tells it like it is, but he cares a great deal about his patients. rnrnI like the way he told me what I would have to do to be successful. rnrnThe office staff is great, very busy, but always got back with me in a timely fashion. rnrnWhat I liked least about him was having to wait on him for an appointment because he was running late because of surgery. Nothing he could do about it but still a pain to sit and wait. It only happened once. rnrnExcellent surgeon, great track record. rnrnAftercare is emphasized and once you are his patient you always have access to the Nutritionist or Psychologist and there is a support group that meets once a month.

He's not much of a talker, but he is the utmost professional. I think he's one of the best in the area of bariatric surgery. The office staff are a cross between cheerleaders and angels. The level of education and aftercare you get is the top! Awesome doc, awesome staff.

My first impression of Dr. Wheeler is that he is very caring about his patients and truly wants them to succeed if not exceed all of their goals!!! He wants ro know that you are serious about getting healthy and staying that way!! My impression never has changed except for the respect I now have has grown even more!!! The office staff is and has been absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable. The thing I would have to say that I like the least is that he may seem a little rushed in and out, but he will thoroughly answer every question you may have!!EMPHAZISES AFTERCARE TREMENDOUSLY!!! Very structured aftercare program!! All of the office including the doctor addressed the risks w/ every visit and after surgery they still tell of the risks if instructions not followed!! I RATE DR. WHEELER AND ALL THE STAFF A 20 OUT OF 10!!!LOLrnDr. Wheeler is great in both areas!!! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!

I love Dr. Wheeler. He is very personable in his office. A very caring physician. I would recommend Dr. Wheeler highly for anyone who is considering this procedure.rnrnHis staff is wonderful. rnrn

Had first initial visit with Dr. Wheeler and his staff on Wed. Dec. 21 at KDMC> Dr. Wheeler and his staff were just wonderful. I felt as if I were with family.

Dr. Wheeler was sick the first time i met him at a seminar. He was funny.rnHe is a very caring doctor and explains everything and is very honest.rnHe is wonderful and i recommend him and his staff they are great.

I met Dr. Wheeler at an seminar I went to in Ashland Ky. He knew his stuff, was such a good speaker, and He stayed until everyone in the room got their questions anwsered. He talked about all of the risk, and said it wasn't for everyone, and for us all to research and really think about it ,because it was going to change our lives and our family's. He has the best staff! I really like them all, especially Tonia, she is so fun! When I first met him, I knew he was MY doctor!

i was very impressed by Dr. Wheeler. I am an RN and wanted a lot of information up front. He had nothing to hide. The staff was very supportive, most of them had been through the surgery. They have many support groups and I have made many calls to the office about questions and have always been treated nicely. He is an A+ in my book. He also operated on my mother and a friend of the family. They both received wonderful after care. Better care than I have ever heard of from other local hospitals. I think surgical competence is most important, but he has both.

'Dr. Wheeler's office is fantastic. I've never waited more than 10 minutes past my appointment time
