Norman Regional Hospital (COE) Hospital

Dr. Keith and his staff have been very kind and caring. They have been helpful and have answered any questions that I have had.

My stay was in an area just for bariatric surgery patients. The staff was great! Very caring people!

Dr Keith has a very structured program. He is very insistant about the patient following the rules, which will make your surgical experience and healing process better in the long run. He seems to be the type of surgeon that is very precise and doesn't forget to cross a \"t\" or dot an \"i\". I have full confidence in his hands. He is very experienced and is a very kind man as well.

Dr. Keith is warm and friendly. I was glad to see that he understood about obesity and took the time to answer questions I had. I have not had surgery yet, but I was so calm after meeting him that I was sure he was the right doctor for me.

Dr. Keith is an awesome surgeon. I am so glad I chose him. I know a lot of people that have used him and have all said wonderful things to say. He came to see me both days when I was in the hospital. rnrnWhen I first inquired about the surgery, he has all his patients attend a seminar and he speaks at the seminar and puts everything on the table about the surgery. rnrnI would recommend anyone to him!!!

Attend seminar---4/25/07rn(Seminar was not very informative to me, because I've reserached it already. Didn't meet my doc, but another one in the practice.)rnGet Insurance Approval-Yeah 5/14/07rnInitial Consult-- 6/1/07 Dr Keith was really nice, down to earth and I like him very much. His office staff leaves a little bit to be desired. I've been treated very rudely by a few girls there in the office. They treat you like you are nothing and like you shouldn't have questions. I am very put off my the way I was treated by them!rnPsych Consult--DONE-I am cleared to start my shrinking.rnNutrition Consult-- DONE!-Good to go...rnPhysical Endurance Consult--6/21/07--DONErnPulmonary Function Consult--DONE!-Great healthy, strong lungs!rnPreOp Orientation-- 6/21/07 DONE and ready to start the 10 day diet. rn10Day Diet Class-- 6/21/07-Done and some of the stuff is great, some is nasty!!rnPreOp Discussion-- 6/29/07Done and over withrnSurgery-- 07/02/07-DONErnGO HOME 7/4/07--Yeah home in my own bed-HEAVENrnrnDr. Keith was great and so was the nursing staff at Norman Regional for the most part. I was pretty satisfied with my stay and my care.

I have only turned over the first stone so far. I have not gone to this surgeon's office. I am signed up to attend a seminar in July. We'll see.

I love Dr Keith!. He is a very nice and caring man. He runs an excellent program. He is the top bariatric surgeon in the state of Oklahoma without a doubt! He even always remembers to tell me to say Hi to my hubby that he did 3 yrs ago. He knows us by name when he see us out of a medical setting. Oklahoma Weight Loss Options is top-notch in my opinion. They have a wonderful caring staff that tries to meet all of your needs pre and post-op. Future patients should know that they are a VERY busy office (as the best often is).

07/27/05 I had my first appointment with Dr. Ronnie Keith. He was very professional and got right to business. I had my list of questions (thanks to the help of this website) and He thoroughly answered each one. He has put together a great team and from talking to him I can tell that He does not settle for the status quo. He and his team for the last three years have been constantly improving their techniques. He stated that todate they have not lost a patient. Though there is always that chance, and their complication rate is 10%. He also told me that He has his own section of a floor at the Norman hospital for only his patients. The same nurses work that floor and keep a good watch over wls patients. rnrnHis staff was very courteous and genuine. rnrn02/14/07 I'm back! I have been following Dr. Keith through this website since July of 2005. I met with him again this date and think that I have my insurance all ironed out and I am ready for this surgery. I really think Dr. Keith is the best!

I really liked Dr. Nelson when I met her. SHe explained things clearly. She told me her concerns about me personally in having surgery and wanted to make sure she had a letter from my cardiologist saying he was behind the surgery. When I asked her how many patients she had lost in this type of surgery she answered me without making any excuses. One. I appreciated her honesty. Her staff, and indeed all the staff I have dealt with at the OWLO clinic and also Norman Regional Hospital have been kind and caring. They answer phone calls and questions with great professionalism. I recommend them highly. I could have picked a surgeon/hospital closer to me,(Norman is 4 1/2 hours away), but I am glad I went with them. I would never change
