Duke Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery Hospital

Sufficient staff in both ICU and regular floor; most of staff was trained on special needs of bariatric patients; I have heard complaints from other patients that the wall-attached toilet was not accommodating for patients weighing over 300 lbs, but the bariatric wing of the hospital is undergoing some renovations and this may be addressed.

Dr. Sudan is wonderful, as is his staff. They are all very helpful and informative. The night before surgery I had to call him because I was having trouble with the pre-op cleanse and I also had to call him the day after I returned home due to nausea and vomitting; he graciously accepted my calls and acted like there was no problem in phoning him after hours. He took excellent care of me before and during my surgery. He and his staff are all dedicated and concerned about the patient's wellbeing. I would recommend Dr. Sudan highly.

Even with moving the entire WLS ward to another floor the noise level was not that bad. Overall good experience.

Dr. Sudan was wonderful. He explains things so that you understand them. I was very impressed with his team. They have a great after care follow up program that is very important. He only takes new patients/surgeries once a week so that he can focus on aftercare which is very important to him. I would recommend him to anyone.

Great services, the nurses are extra nice and helpful to your needs. When your at you lowest the nerses do ther best to bring you back up. I enjoy them!!!

'I had a lap BPD/DS on May 16

Was OK. They did their job.

The doctors, nurses and everyone I came in contact with at Duke’s DRH have been excellent. Ruth was my anesthesiologist and she took great care of me. My ICU nurses Ginger, Tiffany, and Janice were great and they took wonderful care of me. Beth, DHR’s WLS coordinator stopped by on my last day to follow-up with me to see if everything had gone as planned. We met the week before at my pro-op appointment where she explained the hospital process to us. DRH does 500+ gastric bypass procedures a year and they have the process down pat. I would recommend DRH to anyone considering weigh loss surgery. I was in and out of the hospital in 2 ½ days and have had no complications or issues.

I felt like they were extremly LACK, uncaring & unresponsive. I felt like I was in a crack house for rehab patients. They did not have a CLUE.

Dr. Sudan is awesome! and so is his staff. He is one surgeon who definitely cares about his patients. I saw 3 other doctors before I chose Dr. Sudan and am glad that it worked out for me to have him as my surgeon. While some docs seemed to be in it for the $'s, Dr. Sudan wants the best for all of his patients. He stresses aftercare and regular follow up visits and his office is always available for calls with questions.

I would highly recommend Dr. Sudan if you are anywhere near the Omaha area.
