First appointment scheduled for March 25th. So far the girls in her office have been wonderful.
DR foster and her staff were fabulous,I feel she really listened to my personal history and was ready with straight forword answers. I felt very comfortable in her office and with her. Dr. Foster is very big on after care compliance and she explained all of the risks and benefits very well i felt postive after my 1st encounter.i give her *****
I went for a Consultation with Dr. Feng at San Francisco Laproscopic on Jan 2, 2003....I found him to be very very knowledgable and very caring with a great bedside manner...I had first contacted Dr. Jossart and found him to be very pleasant also...I really like all the Doctor's at San Francisco Laproscopic as well as the staff, they "listen" to your needs and address them to the best of their ability...I trust them implicitly and feel that I am in the best hands possible. All the surgeons are very upfront with the dangers of the surgery and are very thorough with all the medical testing...they cover every facet of your health to make sure that they have no suprises during surgery. I am very thankful to be in the hands of Dr. Feng, Dr. Jossart and Dr. Cringle. I realize that all people are all different and that one person may really like an individual while another may not...so...this is my personal experience and these are my own feelings at this point in time.
Dr. Wetter was amazing during each step of the journey. He was easy to talk to and was very straight forward with his information. He office staff is friendly, although very bust at times. He values aftercare a great deal scheduling constant Post-Op check-ups and being sure to keep me informed of all support group tyoe events. I would give Dr. Wetter and his staff a 10/10.
The only thing that I can say about the his office that needs improvement is the wait time. No matter the time of appointment you can expect to wait around an hour before being seen. A wait that I can honestly say is worth it if you plan for it, since there are always people in the waiting room to talk to and share experiences with. Just be sure to schedule this extra time in advance.
I had been referred to Dr. Wetter through the WLS meetings I have been attending. He came highly recommended. I saw him on November 13, 2002 and liked him immediately. His reputation is very impressive and his manner of doctor-patient interaction is reassuring.
I just had my first consultation with Dr Wetter on 12/4/02. Both my husband and I felt that Dr Wetter was very approachable, thorough and professional. He was very clear in stating what I could expect in my WLS journey, pre-op, surgery and hospitalization, and post-op, and all associated risks and benefits. He thoroughly explained the surgery and told me he would try the Laparoscopic way but would open me up if the need arises. He required a psychiatric evaluation and nutritional education prior to scheduling surgery, which I completed. Dr Wetter made me feel at ease. His office staff were very nice as well. I enjoyed meeting Yvette and Jocie very much. I am very happy with my decision in choosing Dr Wetter as my surgeon, and I will wait with anticipation the news of my surgery date!

I thought she was very nice understanding,and seemed competant. I trust her.The office was very friendly and supportive. I was quite anxious and everyone was sensitive to that.She gave me goals that I need to work on before I can have the surgery , so I am at my healthiest.These medical issues that would effect the success of the surgery.She told me the risks and I signed a form about them. We talked about the way I would have to change my lifestyle, diet and exercise. The office gave me lots of information. I've learned alot. Tonight I went on their web-site, I read the life-style change part, I think that That is an area that I would like more discussion and information.Had I been able to change my life-style, I probably would not need the surgery. So the surgery must do something to help the behavior to change.I would recommend Dr Foster at this point . It feels like she cares. And surgical competence and bed side manner both are important.She was 45 minutes late. That was the only neg. I have only seen her once.
