Rose Medical Center

"A great experience. Complimantary valet parking at all the buildings. i had very high opinions of the nursing staff. The nurse taking care of me in surgicaly recovery was pursuing his Master's degree in nursing. I was very happy to see that it was not just some kid that had 1 year of training."

Michael A. Snyder
"My first impression of Dr. Snyder was at the initial seminar I attended. He struck me as knowledgable, understanding of patients, and easy going. He comes across as an expert in the field of Bariatric Surgery and his record supports that. His office manager Carl is lovely and his nurse is very bubbly and friendly. The rest of his staff has not impressed me so far. I have a very difficult time getting them to respond to email and return calls. And the front reception girls are...well, sullen is the word that comes to mind. My interaction with the bariatric staff at Rose Medical has been pretty bad. I find thier manual to be poorly written and poorly organized, the pre-op nutrition teleconference class I attended truly a disapointment, and in the post-op nutrition class the information was poorly presented and disorganized, although the presenter was very friendly. However, I would not let these things deter me from choosing Dr Snyder - he is an excellent surgeon and any staff difficulties are of minor importance compared to his abilities. He has a structured aftercare program and says his goal is to get Band patients to the sweet spot in 3 months. The thing I probably liked the least was that I did not get a ton of one-on-one time with him in the consult. But he did welcome and answer my questions. Overall I think I selected one of the best bariatric surgeons in the state of Colorado. I think is bedside manner is also excellent, he is very confident in his abilities and I felt very safe with him. And he has a nice sense of humor, and is understanding and non-judgemental with his patients. I think a good portion of his staff have had bariatric surgery, so I do find that to be a plus."
