Dr. LeBlanc is a wonderful surgeon. When my husband and I went to see him to discuss the options of different kinds of WLS he was very informative. This was my first time meeting him so I didn't know what to expect. I decided on the sleeve gastrectomy, which is the surgery that I felt was right for me. He talked to my husband and I about the surgery and what to expect after the surgery. He discussed the risks of surgery very thoroughly and was always confident --being forthcoming of his credentials and the weight loss surgeries that he has performed. The office staff was sooo nice and sooo professional. I was told when I first thought about having the surgery that I should talk to \"Amy\" when I call and I can sure see why. She is so nice, so smart, so courteous, so knowledgeable about weight loss surgery, and she is very professional. In addition to Dr. LeBlanc, I know I have someone to call on if I am having a problem. I was then introduced to the bariatric coordinator, Auban, who does a wonderful job of coordinating all appts., etc. You can tell that she genuinely cares - even coming to the hospital after surgery to check on me-- and I know she's always available if I need her---she's great! They provide a very structured aftercare program. Dr. LeBlanc takes pride in his work and it shows. On a scale of one to 10 I rate Dr. LeBlanc and his staff a BIG 10.
Had my first consult with surgeon today. Only got to spend a very short time with him, but found out I have to do the 6 month supervised diet, so that's where I begin. rn I really felt comfortable immediately with Dr Schauer. He seems to be very kind and understanding. I'm very happy with my choice.rnHis staff are very nice and give you a lot of information and answer all your questions.rnGoing through the 6 mo. diet. seems excruciatingly slow and appts with pschy. are difficult to get. I drive 3.5 hours to Cleveland Clinic, and try to get any appts I need scheduled the same day. The girls are wonderful at arranging this for me. I don't know how they do it! But I am grateful for it. rnNow I'm just anxious. I'll be done with my diet in July, but concerned as to how long after that it will take to get a surgery date. I pray the wait isn't long. rnrnHad my surgery and Dr Schauer was wonderful. I couldn't have got a better doctor if I tried. His fellows and nursing staff were the greatest. Even though I know my husband probably drove them crazy. But overall it was smooth sailing. Two thumbs up for Dr Schauer and Staff.
Dr. Hausmann is awesome. He's very knowledgeable, has a great beside manner, and isn't bad to look at either. He was very thorough during our first visit.rnHis office staff is wonderful. JoAnn sent me all the information I needed through the mail. I was able to fill out paperwork and save lots of time in the office.rnAmy is just great. She worked with scheduling my follow up appointment and surgery. rnDr. Hausmann has a great aftercare program which includes a support group which meets monthly. It's called NooMee and you can view the meetings online if you can't make it to Baton Rouge. rnAuban at Our Lady of the Lake was a doll. She coordinated all my testing and evals so they could be done in one day since I was traveling from Crowley. She was with me the whole day going from Psych, to xray and ekg, to Nut. Everyone at OLOL was top notch.rnI would recommend Dr. Hausmann and OLOL to anyone looking for a VSG surgeon.
Great doctor. Explains everything clearly. Staff from day one has been top notch. Facility is superb. Explained clearly the risk during surgery and how to improve the odds of a very successful surgery. I will let you know how his bedside manner is once I have surgery.
He is to the pointrnHe is honestrnvery friendlyrnhe is to the point and honestrnhe does not like the lapbandrn
My surgery was performed by Dr. Philip Schauer while he was in Pittsburgh. He is wonderful!!! My experience with him and his staff was exceptional. Dr. Schauer relieved my fears about surgery (going to sleep) and before I knew what had happened, I was waking up!! Would I recommend him? ABSOLUTELY!!!
Dr. Schauer is a nice guy and very caring. He seems to likes his job and he makes sure you know everything about the surgery and all the pros and cons. rnrnHis staff was very friendly and caring type of people. rnrn I would rate him an 10/10 rnrnCleveland Clinic is by far the best hospital to go to for this surgery!
My first impression of Dr. Schauer was \"wow, he is so handsome, what is he doing in bariatrics?\" Over time, I realized that he is quite the professional and his time is probably better spend with those who fall outside the arc of the normal. He delegates routine exams to his teaching fellows who are equally as proficient and competent. Future patients should know that he is very thorough and the wait to see him is sometimes longer than you would want to wait. After care is not a big discussion with Dr. Schauer as it is with his staff. The staff emphasizes the need to continue to follow the program outlined for success. The risks were outlined in detail and it is made clear that the final and ultimate decision must be yours. I rate Dr. Schauer as an excellent surgeon overall. I see why the Cleveland Clinic wooed him from Pennsylvania. Surgical competence is my priority expectation, but it is also nice to have bedside manner for those who need it. I don't particularly require that type of service.
