Matthew Metz Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

He was very calming, gave me a piece of mind. I worked with him directly. I was very scared and he was very understanding and compassionate. Till this day if i need anything... I call or email he will personally respond! :) Also I had a complication when I was out of state and he was on the phone with the hospital there a lot checking on me, and getting updates. He is very Genuine and in the business for the right reason. Great sense of humor as well. He answered any and all things and continues to till this day a yr and a half later. He tells me he is my doctor for life.

AWESOME DOC.

I loved Dr. Metz and his staff. Very caring, helpful and full of compassion.

When I had questions they were addressed quickly and honestly.

I would give him a 10 out of 10

Dr. Metz and his whole staff were very helpful in answering all my questions. They were all wonderful in every aspect from my pre-op, to surgery day and my aftercare. Im so glad Dr. Metz was my surgeon.

Dr. Metz is AWESOME!!!
He is so laid back, and really listens to me. (He even pointed out skin cancer on my husband's nose -- for which I will forever be grateful).
They could not get an IV started prior to surgery, which made me question things, and his sense of humor really put me at ease!
I just cannot say enough good things about him. I am from Nebraska, and I gladly drive 4 hours to see him for each follow-up appointment.
He has a structured aftercare program and his entire staff is extremely supportive.
I highly recommend him to anyone wanting bariatric surgery!

Dr. Metz was very good at explaining everything about the surgery to me and working with me right before my surgery. He was very concerned, but very sweet at the same time. Right now he does my fills and answers all my questions. I think he is a great surgeon who did a wonderful job. I had no complications. I chose Dr. Metz because he was a very well educated and experianced young doctor. I chose surgical competence as his best asset. rnHis staff was very professional and efficient. I was able to get through the process quickly without snags in less than a month. I give them all an A+rnThis is just my personal impression of Dr. Metz and his staff.It doesn't mean that you will experiance the same treatment.

I met him for the first time on November 4, 2008. My surgery is November 10. He seems like a very personable doctor who cares about the health and quality of life of his patients. In fact, the past few times I've had visits to other doctors, my blood pressure has been elevated and he put me at such ease it was 118/52!

Dr. Metz was awesome!!! Recovery was quick and pretty much painless. I would recommend him to anyone.

First Impressions: Office environment - a bit harried and maybe could improve in some ways. Silly things, like the couch in the waiting area is VERY low to the floor and sucks you in. I have pretty good muscle tone and I still made funny noises getting up - can't imagine a superobese patient managing without help. Also, when they go to measure your height, the yardstick is tacked onto a doorframe with a cabinet right beside it. Like probably most MO patients, I'm a bit wide in the bumper, and the cabinet made it so I couldn't stand up straight, and the thing measured me at 5'4\" even tho I've been measured three times lately at 5'5\". rnrnStaff: I'd already dealt with Allison via their Yahoo-group site, and while she was sometimes slow in responding, she was very nice. At the office, I thought the staff was terrific, but I could see that they were busy to the point of frantic, and I thought they probably could use some help getting organized.rnrnDr. Metz himself is everything I'd heard he was. He's very young, also very nice. He took a lot of time with me explaining the procedure and patiently answering the LONG list of questions I'd come up with over the 8 months I've been planning for this surgery. He hasn't done as many VSG's as I might like (he's fresh out of his fellowship, where he did \"a bunch\", but he's only done 5 since coming to Denver), but I'm confident that he knows what he's doing. So far I feel very good about him. I also followed with an email with a few clarifying questions, and he responded within 24 hours. rnrnAfter surgery: Several members of the staff came to visit me while in the hospital. Very, very nice and very helpful! There still seems to be some organizational issues, e.g. moments where not all the people know what's going on, though. I had one person telling me my post-op diet was one thing and another person saying something different. Some of this could be the hospital, which kept putting \"gastric bypass\" on my chart, even though I told them I'd had the sleeve. rnrnDr. Metz is not only quite a talented surgeon but he's also a very nice guy with a great sense of humor. rnrnSumming it up - At a month out, I'm feeling great, and thoroughly enjoying my sleeve. It seems to me my experience has been unusually easy, compared to others on the sleeve forum, and I credit Dr. Metz. He explained that he goes to some trouble to avoid narrowing at the curvature of the stomach, and to leave a bit of extra room at the bottom, which can help with nausea and acid. He also takes care to get most of the gas used to make space during the procedure out of the body before he closes, and because of this I had very minimal gas-related discomfort. I highly recommend Dr. Metz to anyone in the Denver area who is considering Bariatric surgery.

Well he was a great listner and seemed concernd for me and my issues. Very educated and a great laproscopic md. Everyone in the office was warm, inviting, helpful and full or great knowledge. All the risks were laid out very well almost too well hehe. My case was a revision and difficult so he teamed up with Dr. Brown so I got the best care. I believe you need both bedside manner and surgical competence because if you do the surgery great and his bedside manner is bad. Half the time you are thinking about how rude he is an not what he is saying about aftercare and follow up care. I would most definatly recomend him or dr brown to all pts'
