Sacred Heart Healthcare System Hospital

The staff was very knowledgable and helpful with every aspect of WLS.

very good and caring doctor. was very informative and competent. would refer him toanyone, my impression hasnt changed, office staff is wonderful and caring. there isnt anything i dont like about him. he follows up with you. he addressed fully the risks of the surgery. on a scale of l to l0 as l0 is the highest that is what i give him, not only does he had great surgical skills he also has a great bedside charm

Dr. Rovito is great. Very down to earth when running through the process. I was nervous going in, but the office staff and Rovito do the most they can to make you feel comfortable. I don't know how to rate everyone at the office because I went no place else, but I couldn't have asked for a better initial impression.

I love this hospital and all of the staff. I highly recommend this hospital and the doctors. Karen Niskey is wonderful and a great support person. Dr. Holland and Dr. Sawyna are 2 caring individuals that deserve so much for caring enough to perform this surgery which helped me and everyone else that makes or that is about to make this decision to better their lives. They are wonderful and the staff at the hospital I will never forget....They all have a special place in my heart!

Dr. Holland was soft spoken, professional, and compassionate. He let me talk to him about my concerns with the surgery and about my goals. He has shown me both patience and understanding. His office staff is open and helpful to even the smallest concern or question. They always know who you are when you call and always ask how you are feeling/doing. At one month post-op I feel excited and eager to move into my after care with them and the program that is set up at Sacred Heart. Although Dr. Holland was very upfront about the risks of the surgery, he was very confident in his telling of the successes. He made it very clear that if the surgery was something that I wanted, the risks would have to be understood and accepted... He shows both surgical competence and professional bedside manner.

First impression was quite positive. Really knows his stuff, but is not outwardly touchy-feely type of person. Impression did not change over time, but it was not a problem. His office staff (secretary) is fine, knowledgeable/competent. Least liked - seems a bit distant/detached from others at first, but once you get to know him - he loosens up. Aftercare is HIGHLY emphasized and there is a structured aftercare program thru his office and the hospital as well.

The risks involved with this kind of surgery were well gone over and I knew what they were.

Overall - I would rate Dr. Holland very HIGHLY. He is VERY competent and did very well wtih my opeation. I would say his surgical competence is greater than personality. I have no reservations about referring him to others.

First let me say I did my homework when it came to surgeons. Even though we had capable surgeons in my area who do this surgery I chose to drive 1 1/2 hours to have Dr Rovito be my surgeon. Why? Because he has been doing gastric bypass surgery for 20 years. 10 years he's been doing it lap! His methods are documented in Medical Journals. In my opinion I feel I chose the best surgeon for the job. I was up walking within hours of my surgery.

I liked Dr Holland the very first we meet in his office.

Stayed the same.

Very nice people to deal with.


Cant say I dont like anything about him.

He is a great dr, very caring.

He is very good about the after care.

Yes he does.

Yes.

From 1-10, I would rate him a 10.

Both of them great.

He came highly recommended by a staff member I knew as a friend. He is very straight forward, honest & thorough. He is very friendly. His other patients I know & have spoken to praise him.

I knew a staff member already and they were all very helpful and supportive.

I liked everything about him, so far....I'm one week post op, still away to go.

He was very straight forward and thorough on the risks of the surgery.

I was at a 'teaching hospital' and he introduced me to the three internists who were assisting him. I saw more of them but it was fine with me because most of the time I was recovering and could care less who was poking at me! I didn't not have any complications with the procedure just the anesthesia. His surgical skills I say are excellent, I have little pain! He has a good bedside manner, joking around when you feel like crap!

I found Dr. Rovito to be very kind in manner - honest in discussing my options - thorough in explaining the type of surgery necessary.
