William Beaumont Hospital-Royal Oak Hospital

This is a large, well staffed, well mantained hospital! It has many accomidations and I would highly recommend this hosital to anyone!

Dr. Bacal was awesome! From the first meeting I found him both professional and kind. His assistant Terry is super. During surgery they not only took great care of me but were frequently updating my family. Very good experience thus far!

From the surgon to the Hospital staff The Best !!

He takes all the time you need to answer all questions. It is the reason I picked him over the other while making the original appointment.

He did a great job with incesions. You can hardly see them now.
Dr Wagner took my band out. Once again I met with him once before (5min this time)never saw him again. He did a good job but, I had a soma(sp)now I have a hard spot there. I was going to wait to have him fix it when I was sleeved but, found out he is leaving.

Dr. Kralovich was very responsive to my questions and also very compassionate. I didn't feel like he was rushing through my appointment with him. I took my time and asked all of the questions I wanted and he answered them to my satisfaction.rnrnI only saw him in the hospital after my surgery and then just saw the nurses at the bariatric center, but they took good care of me. I would recommend Hurley Bariatric Center to anyone considering weight loss surgery.

My first impression of Dr. Bacal and his bariatric nurse coordinator, Terry Marentette, were very good. They both seemed very knowledgible about the RNY bypass and the Lap Band. When I first went to the bariatric seminar at Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn I didn't have insurance that covered either surgery. Terry has been wonderful! She has guided me in the right direction to obtain the proper documentation for when my insurance did cover the surgery. She is a former RNY patient herself so she knows what she is talking about. Dr. Bacal is also very friendly and makes you feel at ease.rnrnI can provide better information after I actually have surgery!rnrnI'm eight months out after surgery and just want to say that Dr. Bacal and Terry are both great! I don't think you could ask for any better!

I have never known a doctor so intensely dedicated to his patients as Dr. Bacal. Right from the start I felt at ease and knew I couldn't be in better hands! rnrnTerry, his nurse and bariatric coordinator is always encouraging and with humor. If you leave the office without a smile on your face because of her, then something is terribly wrong! She had RNY about 11 years ago and knows first hand what patients experience.rnrnTo round out the team, Lindsey, Dr. Bacal's nutritionist explains everything! And she will answer any question, by email, phone, or in person no matter how insignificant it may seem. I always see her after every appointment with Dr. Bacal. rnrnTerry and Lindsey run the monthly support group and constantly ask if there are questions, in fact, they tell you to interrupt if you have a question. Even Dr. Bacal stopped by the last support group and answered questions. rnrnI honestly can find nothing negative to say about my experience with Dr. Bacal and his staff. These are my opinions and pertain to me only. rnrn

I just love Dr. Bacal!! Only met him once but am very comfortable with him.rnTerry is awesome....I cant say enough about her. Have been talking back and forth with her for a year now and she has helped and guided me to this point.rnrnIm confident surgery will go well and looking forward to it!rnrnIts been a week now since my surgery. Dr. Bacal had checked in on me at least three or four times a day while I was there. Making sure my pain level was taken care of and if there were any questions he answer for me.rnMy post op visit went well....rnrnDr. Bacal is very concerned and very sincere with his patients. Ive not had a doctor like this ever.rnrnTerry come to see me a couple times a day also to make sure my liquid diet was right and that I was doing well.rnrnI love them both..cant say enough good things about them and would recommend Dr. Bacal to everyone....he is the best!!

HE WAS VERY YOUNG LOOKING BUT VERY NICE PLEASENT TO TALK WITH THE OFFICE STAFF WAS OK A FEW THE ACTED LIKE I WAS NUMBER NOT A PATIENT BUT IM A BIG GIRL I CAN TAKE IT LOL

So far so good...answers all questions completely and is very personable. Look forward to having him be our surgeon.
