St. Anthony Memorial Hospital

"With the exception of the bed incident, I rate it excellent."

Maria Klahre

"Dr. Maria Klahre was recommended to me when I contacted my previous PCP, whom had left the area a few years ago. I was completely at odds with the physician I had chosen to replace Dr. Linda Sanchez, who had since moved to another state. She is missed, she is a true credit to the field of Medicine and in Patient care. Dr. Sanchez recommended Dr. Klahre to me and suggested I see her ASAP...this was one of the best pieces of advice I ever followed. Not only did Dr. Klahre LISTEN to me, but her office is obese friendly! She has a digital scale to take an accurate weight and she has a comfortable, yet firm sofa/loveseat out front in the waiting room! Her staff was superb and the doctor...In a word, AMAZING!"

J. Rivera

"5/3/03 Went to see Dr. Rivera on Friday, May 2, 2003, and let me just say he is not the most cordial man I have ever met! He was very focused on the procedure and the things needed to begin the process. He knew I was serious when I unzipped my backpack and whipped out my pad and pen to take notes and ask the pre written questions. Then I preceeded to give him my referral letter, my psychological Evaluation AND my own 3 page, typed letter to Medicaid! He was astonished by my initiative in that I had done everything needed for Medicaid approval and I had my questions already written out. He was very professional and impersonal...which is fine with me. If he is that dedicated to his medical practice, I am sure he must be a fantastic surgeon. All his energy is centered on it, none is spent on bedside manner! I am not looking for a friend, I am looking for a competent surgeon...one who knows his stuff! And for that...I suggest Dr. Rivera. Of course, these are just my thoughts and your impression may be totally different from my own. 4/24/03 I have a first consultation scheduled now. I have chosen Doctor J. Rivera, In Michigan City, IN. I have read all about him from postings at the site and I have spoken To Pam Pate(who had her procedure performed by him) several times. I am ecstatic! I am so happy things are finally moving forward."
