UPMC Altoona Hospital

I think Dr. Currie is great! From my first visit with him, up through my most recent post-op, he has been competent and professional. You can tell that he has a commitment to doing what he does. I would say his surgical competence outweighs his bedside manner, but that's what's most important right? On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, I would give him a 10.

So far I have no complaints about Dr. Currie or the staff at the Weight Loss Clinic. Dr. Currie answered all my questions and described the procedure in detail. The office staff has been great and I feel I can call them anytime with questions I might have.

My first impression of Dr. Scot Currie was very impressive. Dr Currie is wonderful. I feel I can trust him, he answered all of my questions with confidence, and he is very nice, very knowledgeable and competent. He preformed my EGD and my opinion has hot change. The office staff at the Weight Loss Clinic is always very pleasant and helpful. They make themselves available at all times. I had no hesitation to call them and asked them questions. I trust Dr. Currie and the Weight Loss clinic.

I have only seen Dr. Currie once. He seems very professional and business-like. His office staff is helpful. I believe the risks were explained several times over. These are my only impressions so far.

I met Dr. Currie and he was great answered all my questions. He was more then understanding. I met him the 2nd time at the hospital for my EGD and he was so peaceful and calm. Although he said that can be tested at times. My date is 2/20/03 and cant wait for it to happen. Waiting is making me crazy!

I was very impressed with Dr. Currie when I first met him and my opinion has not changed since I'm post-op. He is a wonderful surgeon and has a wonderful bedside manner.
I would highly recommend him to anyone considering weight loss surgery.

Dr. Currie seems to be a really great guy, I met him during some preop testing. I was a little dopey from the anesthetic, but he was kind and explained everything in great detail, and the staff at the hospital was very sweet and supportive.

I like Dr.Currie, he is not afraid to touch you. Not inappropiately, but he shakes hands without gloves on. He operated on me on 11-11-02 laproscopially. I was in the hospital for 4 days. I did not have as much pain as I though I would. I went back to work after being off only 2 weeks. His office staff is helpful. The support group meets 2 times each month. I have not gone to many support meatings,but will be faithful in the future. I am very glad for his surgical competence. I think and rate him highly. The hospital was set up for heavy people. The bed was longer and wider, wheel chair and potty chare also set up to hold and fit heavy people. He has a team of people that are familiar with the surgery and what to expect. He does 5 surgeries a week when they can be scheduled. He is planning to have a wing of the hopsital (Osetpathic Hopsital in Harrisburg) for nothing but stomach by-pass surgeries.

I know I should start writing down my comments. May 30th I went for my consultation with Dr Weiger. The staff was very nice. When I went there was no one in the office it was really quiet. The secretary smiled at me and welcomed me . I met Dr Weiger he was very nice . I was so nervous but he put me at ease and I was able to explain myself and tell him why I wanted the surgery. He went over the procedure and asked if I had any questions. It was a nice experience.

On July 19th I meant Dr Currie Dr Dimarcos partner. He met with me and went over the procedure. Again I was very nervous but he was great and put me at ease. I have nothing negative to say. The office is great and the staff has been wonderful. I have a some people at work that have had the procedure and can't say enough about them. So now I wait and see what happens.

Hello everyone I had my surgery Oct 21 2002. Just to let everyone know that I'm learning to live with my new stomach each day it gets a better . The biggest thing I'm having to learn is what I can and can't eat anymore. I hate vomiting but, yes I have vomited. Its not so bad and its such a relief! Soup has become my best friend. So far since surgery I've lost 25 pounds . My clothes are starting to get a little loose on me .

My first impression of Dr. Scot Currie was...wow he's young...and very cute...I wonder if he's single... after the surgery I figure we can go out for some broth. haha. I'll be a cheap date after surgery.

Seriously... I think Dr. Currie is wonderful. I feel I can trust him, he answered all of my questions with confidence, he is very nice, very knowledgeable and competant.

The office staff at the Weight Loss Clinic are always very nice. Dr.Weiger took a lot of time explaining the procedure, answering questions, and covering every base. He also pointed out my thyroid and asked me to get that checked (and as it turns out my bloodwork shows I have a hypothyroid and the levels were way off normal). He also explained other options before surgery which I found helpful. The other staff are also very nice and they accomodate my schedule changes. I hope they come to one of my comedy shows in the future!

I am waiting for my EGD in a few weeks. Everything seems good to go...
