Stanley Rogers Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

I love Dr Stanley Rogers. He was very nice and polite from the very beginning. He was very informative in my optin of the surgery.rn He came to visit me and my husband in preop and was a God send at this time. He had a very soothing voice that calmed me right down. He was the first person I woke up to after surgery asking me how I was doing? He told me that I did great in surgery and to let anyone know if I needed more pain meds. I haven't met him yet for my two week check up. But I am looking forward to it.rnHe is a wonderful Dr that I would recommed to anyone.

Dr. Rogers is great. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have WLS surgery. He is a very compassionate man. He really cares. He's very direct. If you follow the guidelins that your given you'll suceed.

The BEST!! The UCSF Bariatric Surgery Center is very, very busy. It can be difficult to get thru to the office. However, once reached, Dr. Rogers and his staff are courteous, knowlegeable, caring and never made me feel rushed. Dr. Rogers is fantastic.

felt very comfortable after speaking with him the first time. took time to answer all my questions - and was not condescending like some of the other doctors i have heard of. his office staff is great! i absolutely have nothing bad to say about rekha, his administrative assistant. what should future patients know? just have all your paperwork done and taken care of....he's very straightforward and easy to work with and talk to. he means business - he's not the touchy feely type - very honest, direct, and EXTREMELY well known and respected among his colleagues. while i was in the hospital and staff found out my surgeon was dr. rogers, everyone said i would be in great hands. that was very comforting to hear. he was awesome. actual program is very structured and have made themselves available for after surgery questions. personally....i would rather have surgical competence, and i have absolutely no complaints with dr. rogers. would refer him to anyone who wants to be in safe hands. has had no death rate thus far and specializes in laparascopic.

Very friendly, understanding, helpful. I'm finishing my RN and have a bleeding disorder. I'm very well versed in my "care". He was a little concerned by my bleeding disorder (Von Willebrand Disease) but I have been treated at UCSF for 10 years now and my hematologist is all for the surgery (less joint problems, etc).
The office staff is helpful and friendly also. Again, it helps that I have knowledge about this hospital and the clinics. I am somewhat biased I suppose, but I have only ever encountered a couple of grumpy (understandably) nurses in all my surgeries/stays over the past 10 years. Part of that may be how I am as a patient. = )

I had to ask a lot of questions that were not covered. (but maybe I'm just nosy). I find having a sense of humor goes a long way.

The doc didn't go over much because I came in with my "binder" and quizzed him about a few things, he knew I was prepared.

The 2nd meeting I thought he was a little "cold" compared to the first. He considered taking my gallbladder out as optional. I was almost in tears. After going over this (again) explaining the 6+ months of agony, he committed to taking it out. Whew.
Of course this is my personal experience.
So far so good!

OK, after surgery:
Dr. Rodgers is the BEST! He answers his own pages (not a resident). He really cares!

I met Dr. Rogers on Surgery Consult date he seemed nice personable and informative and willing to answer any questions I might have
the office staff are professional and friendly I felt comfortable there is nothing I like least about anyone I met at Surgery office I will update after surgery

Good first impression. Very professional and to the point. He has done over 100 gastric bypass surgeries. Being that it is a teaching hospital I did not see him as often as I thought I would but the other Dr's who followd up with me were more than adequate. Dr. Rogers' staff and the support group at UCSF was very good. Reka Sharmar-his assistant- always returned my phone calls, took care of my "administrative" needs (Dr's note for employer, mailed my disability forms to the state for me).

I met with Dr. Rogers, he was nice, he just talked to me about the pros and cons of the surgery. That was about it, the appointment only lasted for no more than 10-15 mins.

I've just met with Dr. Ostroff so far. Dr. Ostroff is ok, he is very straight forward and can seem harsh, but all in all he was alright.

I think that everyone at the UCSF staff has been so helpful, and are just the best. They answer your questions pretty quick, and when you need help there they are.

Dr Rogers was very nice and explained procedure in good detail.
I have been very happy with Dr.Rogers, he is always on time and patient with any need I have had.
Office staff is a little hardier to get a hold of. But has been getting better. They had a program change and things were confused for awhile.
I have no complaints about Dr. Rogers. I would like their program to be a little more comprehensive though. Receive a booklet and that's about it. I wish had a support group on line and more aftercare programs available.

Went over risks.
Execellent care by surgeon, would like better program for aftercare.

both manners were great.

My only negative thing is I am having a problem with medicine obsorption..No one told me of this possiblity. If know, would I still go through with it? Hard to say...
