"My first impression of Dr. Dewitt was that he was not only informative about the surgery, he was also interested in all questions I had. He was not in any hurry. I could have stayed five minutes or five hours was how I was treated. He wanted to make sure I was comfortable and that I had researched surgery and he was down to earth and extremely easy to talk too. I am now two weeks post-op and my impression of him has not changed. He gives excellent care for every situation that I have encountered. The staff was friendly and helpful and I enjoyed how attentive they were to the needs of patients. Future patients should trust that they are great hands. Dr. Dewitt does not leave any room for error if you follow his instructions. I felt safe. Aftercare is more important than the decision to have surgery. Anyone can decide to have surgery, but if you do not know what to do afterwards, then you are in trouble. Dr. Dewitt and his staff are available for any questions, follow-up is essential, and he and a nutritionist talks with you about what you can and can not eat and how this is a lifestyle change, a tool. Surgery is not taken lightly, he explains to you the risks, both the good, bad, and even the ugly. You know going into this what could happen in every situation. I would rate Dr. Dewitt with an A+, I have no regrets in him as my surgeon. His surgical competence and his bedside manner are both great. Sometimes surgeons do not have a bedside manner, and often seem as though they don't care about the patient, but I can honestly say that with Dr. Dewitt he seemed like a friend, he made me feel comfortable, I felt informed, and a part of the decision making process. I never felt he did not explain things or left things out. He has both, bedside manner, and great surgical competence. In my opinion he was a great choice for me and my needs."
