"Dr. Bruderer can come across a little growly but he really is very nice with a somewhat dry sense of humor. He is extremely meticulous about his patients and the nurses at Med Center one even told me that. The office staff are super. They return calls and find answers out.
The only difficulty I had with Dr. Bruderer was that I asked him to explain something to me and he said I wouldn't understand making me feel like he thought I couldn't grasp it.
The nutritionist is nice to work with. I don't feel there is sufficient aftercare. I had developed some problems so saw him a few times but there wasn't any requirement to see him unless I had problems.
He explained all the risks.
I felt like he really wanted to take care of me and all my complications. I appreciated the fact that he didn't want any other doctor to work on me if my problems were gastric bypass related as he knew my insides the best. I also was relieved that he never tried to rush me out of the hospital until I was ready since I lived 3 hours away.
I don't know if he reads these but I do have faith in him. I just wish he would require annual visits just to be sure things are going as they should. (I just want to see your pretty face, Dr. B...much better without the beard).
Thanks
Melody"
