Buffalo General Medical Center Bariatrics at Kaleida Health Hospital

11/02 - I met Dr. Posner on the 27th of November. He struck me as being very knowledgeable and
caring . He answered all my questions. He stressed the pros and cons of both the AGB and RNY. He's an experienced Laparoscopic Surgeon and has just studied 2 years in New York about the Bariatric procedures. He needs to get in place a structured aftercare program. His staff are very helpful. I felt very comfortable with both Dr. Posner and his staff.
2/5/03 - 2nd visit with Dr. Posner accomplished much. My husband thought he was a very knowledgeable and caring doctor. He is A tell it Like it is kind of Doc. Sounds like all his funding is going to come through and he is going to create a great bariatric center at Buffalo General Hospital. All his office staff are very helpful. Everyone there made us feel very comfortable! He let's you know he'll be there for you whenever there is a problem. To me, all these things make for a great Doctor.
5/6/03 - Dr. Posner performed my surgery on 4/28th and he did a great job. No leaks, no complications. I would recommend him to anyone. I feeling great and thanks to Dr. Posner I'm on my way to a healthier life.
Thanks, Dr. Posner!!!!!

I have not met with the Doc. yet, but I am looking forward to it. I have faxed my paperwork and my Primary has faxed my file. So far, everytime I have called his office I have been treated great. Every question has been answered and in a friendly manner.

I have not met Dr. Posner yet, I just had my medical records sent to him. I am waiting now for a call back.

My first phone call to his office was positive the staff seems very pleasant.

1-29-2003 Well today was my first visit with doctor Posner and I have nothing but great things to say about this man. He was upfront, honest and got to the point, no sugar coating did he provide. I love him for that. Today we got alot accomplished, I have a few things test to complete before I do the whole approval, but for the most part he said once that I am approved it will be about 4 to 6 weeks after so I am gonna try and do everything that I need to complete by the end of next week and then get the results for him. SO I am on my way... I just ask that you all keep me in your prayers and I will do the same for you. Thanks

not sure if this is the same Dr Posner that worked in MI he just left. But if it is I liked him from the get go. He made me feel comfortable in my decission to have the proceedure done. His secretary Patty was wonderful and a calming. I would refer patients to him as long as it wasn't at Henery Ford Hospital they didn't have a clue what to do for us patients. He was a surgen not a nurse maid he did an awesome job on my surgery but I got very little after care. He made sure I knew what I was getting into. I would rate him an 7 if there would of been aftercare and support I would of given him a 10.

My first impresion of Dr. Butsch was that he was VERY YOUNG! Let me tell you, that made me just a tad bit nervous! By the end of my 2nd visit with him, i'd found that he'd done quite a few of these surgeries,and was appreciative of my concerns and questions. Dr. Butsch's nurse Renata is FANTASTIC! She was able to guide me thru the pre-op maze with no problem. She ALWAYS took my calls. That part was important.
