"My doctor is Dr. Lauter. I had my surgery August 2, 2006... just about two months ago now. He only performs the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and normally does it (even on my huge tummy) Laparoscopicly. He did an excellent job with me. I was impressed with him. I read alot about him before I had my surgery and found some most impressive information about his surguries - not just wls. I also attend a support group in Marysville that had two of it's members who highly recomended him. Dr. Lauter was very upfront on the risks and realistic on the outcomes. His pre-surgery requirements left me feeling very prepared for the operation. I had a complication and he was sooooooooo wonderful and caring. My family also found him wonderful to get information and he kept them informed and up-to-date on my condition. So.... since you asked..... here is my opinion, he is a wonderful, talented doctor and I am lucky enough to call him... my doctor."
