Brian Gluck Bariatric Surgeon D.O., F.A.C.O.S., F.A.S.M.B.S.

My first impression of Dr. Gluck was that he looked normal..and seemed nice. The more I got to know him I found out he is funny, a jokester, very compasionate and carring. He is not in this for the money.. I feel that he is in it to help his patients and cares about them as a person before,during and after surgery. I cant say I know of anything that I dislike about him. His office staff is impecable and very willing to work with there patients on appointments and such. We actually live two hours away from his office and we were able to schedule all of our appointments on the same day. Phenominal...I feel that a surgeons staff are as important as the surgeon.. they are the gate way to him. He stresses before, during and after care all of the time.. and the after care programs are wonderful.. He gives you everything right from the start all the way through your journey.. he prepares you with every tool you will need. The only way you could say you dont know what to do or what is happening is because you didnt listen. He does discuss the risks involved with the surgery. I would rate Dr. Gluck on a scale from 1 to 10 as a ten.. he is so much more than that though.. He has a wonderful bedside manner and his surgical competence is outstanding as he teaches other surgeons around the USA on how to do these surgeries.. he also keeps them updated on the newest and greatest things in regards to bariatrics. I really dont have anything negative to say..These are my opinions..but i havent had the surgery yet! :)

Dr. Gluck was very informative and gave me alot of hope when other places I contacted told me I had to gain more before I would be able to have surgery. I really thought his staff was great and so helpfull every time I call to ask questions. He's very strict about what you can and can't do and you need to be able to follow his program exactly. I have such hopes for surgery now that I have had my first visit with him.

Dr. Gluck was wonderful and the most dedicated surgeon I have ever had. and I have had many. He did a wonderful job and even called me at the hotel to see how I was doing on Saturday, when I have an appointment on Monday. In my book he's a 10 +++

Dr. Gluck is my Saviour. At first I thought he was a little outspoken. He told me like it was. I had to lose weight before he would even touch me. I did not realize it at the time but he did this to make sure that I was committed to having this surgery and using it as a tool to help me lose the weight I needed to lose. I now view him as a very understanding and sweet man. He had faith in me when my own husband did not.

Dr. Gluck's office staff and himself have been great all through this and are very supportive even after surgery. If I have any questions what so ever I feel that I can call and someone will be there to help me through what ever it is I need help with. Dr. Gluck and his wife(also his nurse) even gave me their home phone number to call if I needed to use it. How many doctors will do that?

Right from the beginning they made sure I understood the risks involved and exactly what was going to happen before, during and after surgery. They offer support and aftercare through support groups, through their office and schedule appointments that involve seeing their nutritionist, nurses, exercise specialist, and the doc himself. Dr. Gluck becomes a part of your life for life.

I rate Dr. Gluck and his office staff with a 10+++ on a scale from one to ten with ten being the highest possible rating. They are great people and I would recommend them to anyone! Dr. Gluck is an excellent surgeon with a great history and a bedside manner that most patients wished all doctors had.

My first impression of Dr. Gluck at the orientation class was that he is very personable and is very passionate about his work.

At my consultation those feelings were comfirmed to me. He also made me feel very comfortable. I did not feel like I was just a quick stop on his way to seeing another patient. He took time for me and answered all my questions.

His office is very inviting and his staff are all very friendly and helpful. They seem very organized and efficient. A big plus was that I didn't spend much time waiting in the reception area or in the exam room before being seen.

Doctor Gluck has a very structured after care program. This is important to me because I know that he and his team will be there for me long term.

After two years in Dr. Gluck's care I am still totally pleased with the care I have received.

He's wonderful and caring. Helping people change their lives is truly a pleasure for him and he enjoys it.

So far we have met with Dr. Gluck once. We met with him last Thursday for our consultation...first impression...I like him all ready. He was wonderful! Took lots of time with my husband and I. Answered any and all questions we had. Never felt rushed or like I was asking a dumb question. He went threw different options for us. There was no issue left unaddressed. We talked about everything from before surgery to life long after care. His staff was friendly and helpful getting my next apt.s scheduled. I look forward to meeting with him again, once we have a surgery date.rnrn9/28/09 Am approved and now waiting on a surgery date! YEAHH!!!! Very excited! Dr. Glucks office has walked me threw the whole process. I have called many times with questions and they have always taken the time to answer EVERY single question I've had. They are great with returning phone calls.rnrn10/12/09 I've got it...my surgery date! Decemeber 8th 2009 is going to change the rest of my life. It took a little over two weeks, but its mine. Now to start the count down.rnrn01/19/10 I did it! So I had my surgery about five weeks ago and I am in love! I love my new sleeve and owe my new life to Dr. Gluck. He is an amazing surgeon and I would tell ANYONE thinking about doing gastric bypass to consult him first. He is right here with me making sure I am following orders and teaching me how to live my new healthy life. His staff are great and walking me threw any thing that has come up or question I have. Thank you is just not enough to say to Dr. Gluck or his staff! I wish there were better words...but honestly...THANK YOU DR. GLUCK!

Dr. Gluck is wonderful. He is down to earth, compassionate, and honest. I think he has a wonderful group of ladies that work with him. The whole team is very nice. Once you walk in, you feel like you are part of the family. From what I know right now, the family doesn't go away after surgery. They expect you to follow up with them quite often right after surgery then yearly. They want to guide you down the right road and make sure you stay on track. That is a huge benefit, it is a gift from them to you, to help you stay on track. rnrnrn

My first impression of Dr. Gluck was that he is a quiet man but full of confidence in his ability to help his patients. I find this to be true. His ability is awesome and so is the fact that he cares. His staff is polite and somewhat friendly but I did feel (in my opinion) that is was more business with them. Dr. Gluck has a complete program for both before, during and after surgery. He was very direct with what he could do for me and the possible side affects and dangers but also with what I would have to do for myself. I just had my surgery 6 days ago and so far I would rate Dr Gluck a 9.5 on a scale of 0-10. Awesome man.

I don't care where you live in the United States, if you are SERIOUSLY considering this surgery, there is NO OTHER WAY to go than Dr. Brian Gluck. Enough said.

As he walked through the door, I thought Dr. Gluck was going to be another one of those \"jogs-ten-miles-a-day-eats-only-tofu-and-condescends-to-anyone-who-is-fat\" type of surgeons. He is very physically fit and handsome - everything in any guy that has always been my bane! But he was so kind and compassionate to me and treated me with such respect that I felt really comfortable. He was not condescending or patronizing in anyway. His entire STAFF is like that as well - they all treated me with compassion and care. They actually look you in the eye! I was impressed by all his credentials, and by his surgical statistics. My only complaint was that, when I called for my initial appointment, I specifically said I wanted a LAP-BAND, and his receptionist never told me he doesn't do those. So I was very disappointed, at first, to find out that he would only perform the RNY on me. But he was extremely informative about the whole before/during/after of the procedure, and I left with so much information I almost felt overwhelmed (but it was a good thing). I'm confident because he's not a \"cut-you-up-and-kick-you-out-the-door-with-a-one-page-diet\" kind of doc. His office has extensive support that he REQUIRES his patients to be involved in: nutrition counseling, support groups, excercise counseling and frequent visits to his office. He really keeps track of his patients. At this point, I'm giving him TWO THUMBS UP.
