Lankenau Hospital
"This is not a bad hospital, but they are new to bariatric surgery and need to have more expert and skilled staff in that field for such patients."

David von Rueden
"Hi everyone (who sees and reads this!), Dr David von Rueden is a great man. He is an equally great doctor. I highly recommend him. I've had no troubles with him at all. I don't want to make him sound like he's 100% perfect, because no one is, but he is really a great surgeon who cares about hs patients and cares about their progress and the plan they are now on or cosidering and the tool used to help in that plan for weight loss. Now, I don't want to paint everthing as perfect, because there are a few things that stand out that can be improved. It deals with his staff though. For one, his nurse is only in once a week...this is okay, I guess, but if there is a problem, it makes it hard to get answers and/or reach the doctor on his surgery days. She has a habit, I have learned, of not returning calls. The staff, while they are kind people, do not give the messages that are left for the doctor or the nurse. Another thing is that their insurance liasion is slow. I'm not saying she is bad, but things just seem to work slower with her. All in all, I give the doctor and the staff together, on a 1 to 10 scale: 7. To be fair though, I have to give the doctor himself, on a scale of 1 to 10: 9. * IMPORTANT NOTE: Please understand that this is based on my experiences and opinions. In no way is this to be taken as the only opinion on the office or surgeon. And also in no way is this a way to keep people from the doctor. I mean no harm in informing as I did about my experiences. In fact, I would recommend anyone interested in this surgery to go to this doctor! He goes out of his way a lot of times. ~ Katie Bidwell"

Andrew Bolmann
"Dr Andrew Bolmann is a fun doctor as well. He is quick to respond, but listens to all you have to say - he doesn't try to rush you out of the office. He's a great doctor in my experience."
