Jonathan Schoen
"My first impression was that he was a quiet guy, and seemed reserved. He is really nice and seems really genuine. My impression never really changed. I am glad he is my surgeon, he is thorough and he covered a lot in a short time. The office staff were really nice, and open. Dr. Schoen greatly emphasized aftercare. They are now looking at starting an exercise room as well as already having a support group. He has a great nutritionist that he works with. All in all he emphasizes exercise everyday to form the best habits as well as not having children for 2 years. Dr. Schoen sat down and walked me through not only the lapband but also the duodenal switch. He told me the risks of both of those surgeries and the reason why he only does RNY. He showed a diagram of what the RNY surgery would look like and the risks involved including the stomach leaking and other complications and risks associated with the surgery. He goes through how everything would look like after the surgery. I would give him a high rating. He knows what he is doing, and I believe he is better than the other doctors/surgeons I saw in England. I also like the fact that he is civilian rather than a military doctor. I really like both surgical competence and bedside manner to be present in a doctor. I do get the impression that Dr. Schoen has a better surgical competence than a bedside manner, but this is after one visit. I am sure once I get to know him better, as well as his staff, my first impressions may change. Updated 05/19/2012 Through it all, I believe I had the best doctor with Dr. Shoen. I have had two babies post op. I am in the best shape of my life. I am working on my Bachelors Degree in Justice Administration and working towards a career in Law Enforcement. Dr. Schoen is a great doc and would highly recommend him to everyone!! Ultimately our last conversation was when I got pregnant with my first child. Through it all, I am healthy, stronger, and have two special gifts that I wouldn't have had if I hadn't gon through surgery. Dr. Schoen looks out for the best well being of his patients, and I highly recommend him :)"

"Hospital needs more nurses. It is a training hospital so you will be dealing with trained nurses as well as trainee nurses. Trainee nurses can only do so much, so not much to worry about. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and encouraging."
