"He has a very good understanding of what it means to be overweight and how hard it is to lose weight. He seemed to genuinely care for you as a patient and does not treat you like just another payday.rnrnMy impression of him has pretty mush stayed the same from the beginning.rnrnHis staff is very polite and patient when you call them with tons of questions. I did get a little skeptical when they kept getting me confused for lap band when I was scheduled for gastric. But that was my fault because i did originally inquire about lap band. rnrnAnyone in the SC GA area looking around for a surgeon should def. give Dr. Rowitz a call.rnrnHis seminars covered aftercare and risks very thoroughly I have a good understanding of what I am going to go through when my surgery is done.rnrnHe is great at both his bedside manner and surgical competence. He was very adamant about making sure i got checked thoroughly before considering doing the procedure. rnrn"
