A. W. Ratcliffe

"Dr. Ratcliffe was very easy to talk to, and very understanding of the feelings and needs of the overweight person. He was very accomodating with scheduling and very prompt with responses and communication with my surgeon. "

"Dr. Rifenbery has been wonderful so far. I have had one visit with him and he answered a lot of my questions. He took the time to listen to what I had to say. His staff is extraordinary!! He was very informative and told me about pre and post surgical stuff. February 28, 2003: I have talked to Dr. Rifenbery's staff, Misty and Amy, several times on the phone. They have been patient and understanding with my impatience and excitement. They have answered all of my questions, and have always taken my calls. I am glad that they are an important part of my journey and that they are on MY team!! March 20, 2003: Dr. Rifenbery has been wonderful!! Before surgery he came to see me, answered any other questions/concerns I might have had. I felt so comfortable with him being my surgeon. After surgery, he was available to my nurses, had initiated several preventative measures while in the hospital and was great to have as my surgeon. I would definately recommend Him and his team to anyone looking to have this surgery! Today is post op visit #1 and his office staff was very accomodating to my schedule. Thanks to all of you!! "

"The hospital is very clean, the staff is friendly and very helpful. The entire hospital has a feeling of hope and healing rather than gloom and doom. "
