Our Lady Of the Lake Regional Medical Center Hospital

he was very informative and knowledgeable.rnBEST OF ALL HE HAS A GREAT BEDSIDE MANNER. He seems to really care about his patients, I had some problems with pain after surgery and he never made me feel like I was crazy or a burden to him. he would come everyday sometimes twice a day to see me and tell me \"we just want to get you better\" And he's also had to put up with my husbands corny jokes!rnEveryone in his office is great. They are really attentive and there is not one time Ive called and someone has not gotten right back to me.rnHis greatest, that's been through this whole thing is Dr. H's nurse Amy she help to take care of my whole approval process. She has a special place in my heart!

Dr Schauer is a fantastic doctor. I had gastric sleeve surgery in June 2007, and now I am going to have the bypass surgery next week. Dr Schauer is a kind, compassionate, and highly skilled man who loves what he does.rn

I like my surgeon when I met him the first time and my feeling never changed about him. He was sure about what he wanted to do and up front about things and let me knwo where I stood for surgery. I love his staff. They are there for you all the time. Not a problem with any on them. What anyone should know about my surgeon is that he knows what is is doing and you can tell that be talking to him. My aftercare from my surgeon was little because I think he had alot of panient and he was very busy. I did see and talk to him but not as much as I seen his helper Dr. Pitt. Yes he talk to me about everything and I knew what I was getting myself into before surgery. Would tell anyone to have Dr. Schauer do your RYN.

Dr. LeBlanc is a top notch surgeon. My Lap RNY was scheduled for 2 hours and I was only in surgery for about 1 & 1/2 hours. He is knowledgeable and caring. His staff is wonderful, namely Amy & Josette. No matter how many times I called they were ALWAYS caring and helpful and if they had a bad day, I never knew.rnrnWhat confirmed to me that Dr. LeBlanc was a wonderful guy and surgeon was at my pre-op appt. They were running late and were obviously very busy. He walks in with a huge genuine smile on his face and says ,\" I am so sorry about your wait. Today is my follow up day for (WLS) surgery and I just talk too much and enjoy seeing everyone post op.\" I could see he truly does this because he loves helping people and enjoys seeing their successes. Thank YOU Dr. LeBlanc.

I love my surgeon!! He is extremely knowledgeable about all of the different kinds of WLS's. He's very soft spoken and kind. He tends to always be running behind though, so take a good book when going for an office visit!!

I REALLY DO LIKE MY SURGEON HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND CARING TO MY NEEDS. ALWAYS TOOK EXTRA TIME IN EXPLAINING HIMSELF ABOUT WHY HE NEEDED TO DO THINGS DIFFERENT IN MY CASE.HE IS A VERY INTELLEGENT MAN THAT HAS WROTE MANY MEDICAL PAPERS AND TEACHES OTHER DOCTORS AND IS WORLD RENOWN IN WHAT HE DOES. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER SPECIALTY DOCTORS WHO COULDNT HELP ME AND HE DIAGNOSED MY PROBLEM IN MY FIRST VISIT AND REALLY IMPROVED MY QUALITY OF LIFE. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 12 YEARS I AM NO LOGER VOMITING MY FOOD AND NO LONGER HAVE A SEVERE CASE OF GERD. I DO HOWEVER DO NOT LIKE THAT WHEN U SEE THIS PHYSCIAN U DO HAVE TO WAIT SOMETIMES OVER AN HOUR! THE REST OF THE STAFF AT THE CLEVELAND CLINIC WAS GREAT. I DO HOWEVER DO NOT GIVE ANY HIGH MARKS IN THE PSYCH DEPARTMENT WHO NOT ONLY HELD UP MY SURGERY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BUT DO NOT FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THINGS IN A TIMELY OR COURTESY MANNER. NOT ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS TYPE OF SURGERY IS FOR WEIGHT LOSS BUT FOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH THEY TOTALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND. THE DEPT PUTS EVERYONE IN THE SAME CATAGORY AND IS UNABLE TO THINK OTHER WISE. DR SCHAUER HAS A GREAT BEDSIDE MANNER AND IS VERY COMPETENT IN HIS WORK THAT IS WHY HE IS WORLD RENOWN IN BARACTRIC SURGERY.........THANKS DR SCHAUER

My first impression of Dr Leblanc was wow!! What a down to earth guy!! No frills, straight to the point kinda man! His office staff was really nice! Even the office manager came out to introduce herself to me,now how many Drs offices do you go and get introduced to the manager. They were all so friendly and down to earth also. I think anyone who is interested in a surgeon for WLS should first see Dr Leblanc. He has a great program at Our Lady of the Lake in Baton Rouge. He seems very compitant and knows what he is doing. Sometimes its not always about quantity, but the quality thats important!! Over all I rate him a 10+.

the staff was nice, patient, and consistant

The first time I met Dr. LeBlanc, I was very impressed. He explained the 3 different types of procdures performed for WLS (lap band, gastric sleeve, and RNY). He has lots of experience which made me feel safe in his care. He took the time to answer all the questons I asked and his up beat personality and sense of humor eased my anxieties. Also, the office staff was very nice and very helpful.

My first impression was wow very nice. Although I had already done all my preop with another surgeon and switched to him he went through everything again and this time my husband felt much better. The office staff is wonderful, very informative and very nice.
