Philip Schauer
"Dr. Schauer is now practicing at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH. I met Dr. Schauer for the first time at the initial WLS Workshop geared for those who are considering the surgery. Dr. Schauer is a very kind, unassuming man with a quiet assurance which is very encouraging. His staff is very courteous. He heavily emphasizes aftercare as an extremely important part of one's general success in sustaining the weight loss after surgery. He and his staff were very thorough in addressing the risks of surgery. I haven't yet had my surgery so I cannot comment on surgical competence or bedside manner, but one thing that has impressed me is the monthly group sessions Dr. Schauer and his staff hold for their patients on their own time. It speaks volumes to me of their dedication and willingness to support their patients in this monumental endeavor. Update: I had my surgery on 11/18/05 (Lap RNY Proximal) and I am pleased to say that it was very successful. I would give Dr. Schauer an A+ in both surgical competence and bedside manner. Very warm and caring before my surgery, made sure that I was calm and comfortable even though he himself had had very little in the way of respite after a long day. Although the surgery itself was painful, the recovery was quick. Have not seen him since my surgery; initial post-op visit was with his nurse. I would very highly recommend Dr. Schauer to anyone who is faced with the decision to have this type of surgery."
