Saint Agnes Medical Center Hospital

FOR MY CONSULTATION I MET WITH ONE OF THE OTHER DOCTORS AT DR. FELIX'S OFFICE. TO BE HONEST, I CAN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME. I WAS HOPING TO HAVE DR. FELIX BE MY SURGEON, HOWEVER IN ORDER TO GET THE SURGERY DATE OF 4/7/04, THEY PUT ME WITH DR. SWARTZ, WHICH I AM FINE WITH THAT. I MET HIM BEFORE AT THE WORKSHOP I HAD TO ATTEND. HE WAS A NICE GUY, I WILL BE MEETING WITH HIM ON MY POST OP APPOINTMENT ON 4/6/04.

My first impression was he seemed on a hurry he talked very fast. He was friendly and optimistic. I felt pretty comfortable around him even though I only talked to him for less then 5 minutes. Dr. Swartz asked me some questions about my health and how far I can walk before I am out of breath. Then he listened to my lungs and heart. He asked me to lay down he pushed on my stomach. Then he started washing his hands and said “you’re a good candidate, see you at the seminar.” After the seminar I felt like I was in good hands he went over everything he answered all of my questions and even answered my husbands questions too. I am very pleased with Dr. Swartz.

Dr Swartz and Dr Felix did my surgery on Dec 4. I haven't had any complications and both doctors visited me while I was in the hospital. Both doctors made me feel very comfortable and I have been doing very well since my surgery. Both doctors had very nice bedside manners and seemed concerned to any and all of my questions that I had asked. They both also made me feel very good about myself being I was following their instructions. I look forward to returning in a month to see how well I have done.
The staff in their office are very well organized and seem to run a tight ship. There were so many people walking in the door but yet it all seemed to run without a hitch.
I would recommend this office to anyone in search of a good doctor. They tell you what they expect from us and if you can't handle their rules than this surgery may not be for you. But this has been the best decision of my life and have no regrets. I am finally losing weight and I am not hungry. I am very happy with both of my doctors and wouldn't go anywhere else. So many thanks to you both Dr Swartz and Dr Felix.

I was very nervouse to meet him but after i had my consultation with Dr, Swartz i thought he was very nice and caring. He makes sure you are aware of the dangers and know how important follow is. He was just great overall. In the hospital he saw me before surgery and told me everything was gonna be fine and me me feel confortable. He checked in on me at the surgery and had a great bedside manner. The sugery went well and he did everything perfect. He is rated a 10!!!

Dr. Swartz is in practice (Advanced Bariatric Center of Fresno) with Dr. Felix. I scheduled my consultation and (required) seminar for the same day. Dr Swartz was the speaker at the seminar. He was very informative, candid and humorous at times. The office staff is wonderful. Casey can work wonders with insurance companies.

I haven't yet met the surgeon. I met his staff and the Nurse Practitioner. Everyone was nice and very professional. They know how to get you approved and get your surgery scheduled. I will add more information as I go through the process further.

Okay, Daniel Swartz from San Diego is now in practice with Dr. Edward Felix here in Fresno, CA. Dr. Swartz did my lap RNY. I am very pleased. He had great bedside manner and did an excellent job. I have had no real pain to speak of and feel that he is an excellent surgeon and a great addition to Dr. Felix's staff. I would rate him a 10 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being best. He was great.

I will keep you posted as I get further post op.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend anybody to Dr. Swartz. He was through from the initial evaluation through the clinical follow-ups.
