Southcoast Center for Weight Loss - Hospital Group Hospital

Dr. Streeter is very serious about helping people with weight loss. He is a man of few words but answers all questions and concerns honestly and with care. I felt very comfortable with him and my follow-ups have been regularly encouraging. When I have voiced a problem or concern with the program or staff, I only had to mention it once and it was taken care of. This practice truly cares and listens to its clients.

My first impression of Dr. Kruger was he was very pleasant and very blunt. I appreciated the fact that he gave me the pros and cons of the surgery and his staff were extremely helpful. When I started the process of WLS it literally took only 3mths till surgery. They are quick with the paperwork and if you call with questions they get back to you promptly. Dr.Kruger has a structured after care. When you are being discharged the nutrionist and physician go over everything you need to do. I also had my appointments for the next year already scheduled and didn't have to worry about making them myself. I thought the best thing about Dr.Kruger was he was extremely comforting to my mom while I was in recovery and made sure she knew and watched that I take my vitamins everyday and stay hydrated. The only thing I don't like is that after surgery I don't have scheduled appointments with him. They are with his Physician Asst. and Nurse. I would have felt a little more comfortable seeing him at my first two appointments after surgery. But I would recommend him to anyone that is considering WLS in Massachusetts

Dr. Colacchio is a very nice guy! I have met him twice, once at the informational seminar and once in his office for my initial consult so far and he seems to know his stuff! He does not hesitate to let me know that there is a rough road ahead, he does not sugar coat anything and he really wants to make you aware that this is a life long decision and not one that should be taken lightly.
His staff is also very nice and knowledgeable.
UPDATE: I had my ROUX-En-Y on Monday Oct 4th and I feel GREAT Dr. C did a great job! He and the staff at Tobey Hospital are top notch my nurses were all fabulous! It was an overall great experience!

My first impression of Dr Kruger was that he knew his business. He was very knowledgeable of the gastric procedure and has performed many.

I loved Dr. Streeter a man of few words but did a great job on me and I loved his bow ties...well my surgery went well ..when I awoke I was out of it but my recovery once out of intensive care was good I felt good only needed the pain meds at home maybe 3 days..

.May 25 & 26 2010, I just had Plastic surgery with Dr. Rene B. O'Sullivan out of Wellsely Ma. at The Beth Isreal Deaconess Hospital, in Needham, Ma. and I had a Pannulectomy and breast reduction done. the breast reduction is tough..the healing is itchy and tigh..the panni is good the drains are a pain in the pooper..well I'm very happy with the way I look so far..can't wait for the swelling to go down ..

When I first met Dr. Kruger, I really liked him. He knows his patients and he makes sure he reads your chart before coming into the room so he knows what he is in for. My impression of him never change. I liked him right from the first time I met him. His office staff is wonderful and understanding. Dr, Kruger does emphasize about aftercare and they have a wonderful aftercare program. He also was very informant about the risks of surgery. I would recommend Dr. Kruger to anyone who wanted to have this surgery done. He is a very great doctor. I feel that surgical competence is better than bedside manners. I would rather the doctor have no bedside manners and be a great doctor than have a doctor who has wonderful beside manners but is not surgical competent.

So far my impression of Dr.K has been very brief. The program at Tobey is fantastic though. I love my nutrionist. The therapist has been great, along with all the nurses I've met. The process moves fairly quickly, but I love the idea of the 5 year after care and the work shop you have to do.

Dr. Streeter was a great surgeon. He was very informative about the risks of surgery, and the benefits. My first impression was that he was very abrupt and to the point. He does not have the best bedside manner, however I have nothing negative to say about his surgical competence. rnrn
