Norman Regional Hospital (COE) Hospital

I had a great experience with NRH. I would like to mention Carol, Mark, Duane and Julia on the PCU. They were all so awesome. I never felt uncomfortable when they were changing my dressings, they always kept me draped well. The hospitality house for my family was great. It was very clean, very affordable and very close for my family to stay. We live 2 hours away so going home and coming back each night would not have been a good thing. The hospitality house kept them close to me and I appreciate that so much. Family support is so immportant!
Well done NRH, you seem like a family to me already!

The nurses were very caring and supportive. They genuinely cared about me.

I am very impressed with Dr. Keith. I have not had my surgery as of yet, but so far everything has went very well. Dr. Keith's staff have been very helpful. There is so many appointments to go to before and after the surgery, I feel the whole program is helpful to my overall well being.
Dr. Keith is my hero, He has given me my life back. During the last 6 1/2 months Dr. Keith has asked me to follow some very simple rules. These rules are there to make my journey successful. Thank you Dr. Keith every day is a new day.

My first impression of him was that he looked as though he would be hard on you if you didn't follow the guidelines after surgery. But then I watched him as he watched his Post-op patients give their stories to us at the seminar, he looked so happy to see that they are happy. As time went on in the seminar I could see that he absolutely is a caring Dr. and individual. He wants you to succeed and be happy and he will be there for you every step of the way. I can't wait to meet him for our face to face consult. He is really big on the aftercare. He pushes the support groups really hard which is good, because we all need support in this. Overall, I'm so happy I picked him to do my surgery. I can tell it's going to be a great relationship!

Dr. Keith is a wonderful person. He seems to want to work with you on whatever is needed. His staff is very helpful, but very busy. He has a very strong emphasize on aftercare. And is very determined to help get his patients to where they need and want to be. I just could not say enough good things about Dr. Ronnie Keith!!

I guess I should tell you all that I researched bariatric surgery for about 2 years before I decided I wanted to do it. In the course of this research, I attended a symposium given by Norman Regional Hospital (here in Norman, Oklahoma) and Doctor's Keith and Spector. I knew Dr. Spector's name, he is very well respected in this community and highly sought out for many different procedures. But I didn't know Dr. Keith.
All that changed the night I attended the symposium. I liked both doctors, but made an immediate connection with Dr. Keith. He seemed to truly understand the difficult decisions and choices facing me. He took the time to answer some of my questions and I made an appointment to begin my weight loss surgery process. I was very pleased that the doctor chosen for me by the hospital was Dr. Keith.
His office staff is awesome! Patient, kind, caring and highly dedicated to helping us succeed in our weight loss.
Every single concern I had was addressed in depth and nothing hidden from me. I KNEW what to expect and was prepared for the changes my life was about to take.
The program is so comprehensive and so incredibly helpful to the bariatric patient. It is geared to provide every Avenue necessary to succeed. Patient history, personal history, physical history was ALL addressed comprehensively PRIOR to surgery. Then we had Support Group to further assist us in being successful.
The day of surgery, I was TERRIFIED! I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't, but Dr. Keith assured me he would take care of me and he and Dr. Spector did.
The staff and the hospital was good, very caring and very attentive to our needs. The only problem I had was that the dietary guidlelines weren't known (evidently) by the cafeteria and I had to remind the staff that I could not eat like that any more. Other than that I felt pampered. I was in the hospital 3 days and 2 nights.
It is 10 months later and I have lost well over 120 pounds. I am healthy, happy and extremely grateful. I could not have done it without Dr. Keith, Dr. Spector and the entire Norman Regional Hospital Staff, including our support group leader, Carrie Watson.
My story is not unique, many, many people have similiar stories of success and thankfulness...

Very nice person and a caring Doctor. I really don't know to much yet about him right now.He did explain the risks as will as the advanages at our firt meeting. I am waiting to have surgery on Apria 28 so will find out about aftercare and the hospital. So far the people in the hospital seem to be very caring and really concerned about you. Dr. Kieth does seem to take great care of his people making sure they go to meetings to met others who have had this surgery.

I didn't have any problems with the hospital everyone was very good to me. I would definetly go back to this hospital.

I have nothing but positive to say about my experience at this hospital.
