Southcoast Center for Weight Loss - Hospital Group Hospital

Dr. Streeter has been my surgeon about 18 yrs. I think very fondly of this man. He saved my life many years ago. He is straight to the point. But when you get to know him, you do see him smile. He has a cute smile :) He has an awsome staff. I know almost everyone of them personally. He sometimes doesn't know his own strength. He tends to push hard on the surgery site LOL I give him a 8.5 overall. I would not have anyone else do this surgery, ever. rnAgain, he will saving my life! :) how do I ever thank him? rnI'm not saying he doesn't get upset. He does. when things don't go the way he wants and expects them to, he tends to get upset. Just make sure you ask him what you want to know, he will answer.

I first met Dr. Kruger at the seminar on weight loss surgery. I was called for an appointment only 2 days later. That pleased me!rnrnWhat a wonderful office staff he has! Everyone is knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. They are quick to return your phone calls, and get your appointments scheduled rather quickly!rnrnDr. Kruger is so incredibly dedicated to his patients, and wants us all to succeed. He makes us a part of his program for 5 years, minimum! He stresses the importance of aftercare...what you eat, how you eat, when you eat, etc.!rnrnThe aftercare plan is so very structured. You go to your appointments with him, nutrition, and are encouraged to go to support group.rnrnI don't think Dr. Kruger overlooked one single question, or situation that could happen. All risks were clearly explained.rnrnHe is such a great surgeon, and person. I will always think of him as the man who helped me get my life and health back!

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Kruger, about his office (Wareham Surgical Associates) and about his affiliated hospital, Tobey Hospital (Southcoast Hospitals Group)in Wareham. I had my surgery on 10/28/08 and had no problems whatsoever throughout the before and after process. rnrnHe is a caring, compassionate and skilled surgeon, and his office staff has exceeded my expectations in all areas. The program at Southcoast emphasizes a great deal of pre-surgical education and by the time you get to your day of surgery - you are ready! The aftercare programs are equally as strong, and I have felt supported and well-cared for throughout this journey. They both deserve and receive my highest regard for going above and beyond in all areas of the care I received, and I would recommend this program, and Dr. Kruger, to anyone interested in having bariatric surgery.

Dr. Streeter was wonderful. He is very nice and easy to talk to. There office is very nice and everyone in the office is so awsome. Dr. Streeter listens and has a wonderful aftercare program and make sure you come in for your appointments, I am pleased with the doctor and everyone in the office. They have been wonderful in every way possible.

DR kRUGER-- IS AWESOME WORDS DO NOT DESCRIBE HOW NICE HE IS. HE LISTENS TO YOUR CONCERNS, ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS AND TAKES THE TIME TO JUST ASK HOW YOU ARE DOING AND ANYTHING OTHER THAN SURGERY HAPPENEING. HE IS THE ONLY DOCTOR I HAVE EVER MET AND I HAVE SEEN A FEW ACTUALLY LISTENED TO MY HEATH ISSUES AND TOOK THEM ONE AT A TIME AND ANSWERED QUESTIONS AS TO WHY IT IS HAPPENING OR WHAT CAUSES IT.rnTHE LADIES IN THE OFFICE..NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE HOW PROFESSIONAL AND UNDERSTANDING THEY ARE. THEY ANSWER QUESTIONS AND THEY CALL YOU BACK ASAP.rnTHEY WORK AROUND YOUR SCHEDULE AND DO NOT MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE FOR BEING THE WEIGHT YOU ARE. THEY ARE JUST AS SUPPORTIVE WHEN YOU HAVE THE TINIEST WEIGHT LOSS TO THE BIGGEST.LOLrnGREAT BUNCH OF LADIES...

My surgery is schduled for Jan 20,2009 with Dr. Kruger. He is the nicest Doctor I have ever met!!! I am very happy with him!! I just saw him on Jan 9, 2009 for my pre op appointment!! I will keep you posted!!!!

Dr Kruger is an excellent surgeon. I had my surgery on 09/09/08 and I must say the after care I received was excellent. rnAftercare plays an important role with Dr. Kruger. You must sign a contract that you will go to the monthly support groups.rnThe staff is great, always confirming appts and keeping you posted as you go along.rnI highly recommend Dr. Kruger..

Excellent Surgeon and staff ..No problems and calls you back immediately if problems

I met with Dr Kruger on Thursday May 22ndrnI thought that he and his staff were super nice.rnrnIt feels as if I've know them a long time, they make you feel very comfortable.rnrnI am waiting to hear from them now, they said they will set up all my appointments.rnrnI am very anxious to get going with this, I am so looking forward to the lap band, to help me control my eating.rnrnDr Kruger and his staff were very informative and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Even thought they had a waiting room full of people, they took the time to answer my questions. I really like that.rnrnSo far I really have nothing negative to say.rnrn6/11/08 I just wanted to add that I have been working with Kathy at Dr Kruger's office.rnKathy is setting up my appointments and she has been so very nice, I feel so comfortable talking to her. It is as if I've know her forever.rnrnThank you Kathy, for your kindness.rnrnJune 17,2008rnI met with Stacy, at Tobey Hospital. Stacy is a dietitian, she is so sweet, and very professional. I am so please with the staff, at Tobey hospital. I hope my journey continues to be a positive experience.rnrnJune 30,2008rn I spoke with Alan Johnson, at phychology associates. He was very nice and easy to talk to. I felt very at ease with him and we laughed alot. I thought he would be fun to have at a get together, but I can't afford the fee. lolrnrnJuly 2, 2008rnrnToday, I met with Dr. Kruger's nurse, Sue, rnshe was very nice and has a very upbeat personality. I felt a little rushed with her though. I think she may have been running a little late, because my appointment was for 1:30 and I didn't see her until 2:00. I did manage however to get all my questions in. Then I spoke with Kathy who has been making all my appointments, she has been great. She called my insurance and got approval for my stress test. Kathy then called the doctor and scehudeled my test. The people in that office work so hard and it seems to me very overwhelming.rnI hope they all had a very nice long holiday weekendrnrnrnrnHelenrnrn

I have been very pleased so far with the ease and kindness of all parties involved in Dr. Streeters office including Dr. Streeter himself. They have been very patient, informative, kind, and have made me feel very comfortable with my decision to have Gastric Bypass Surgery.
