James Kemmerling
"When I saw his seminar I was totally impressed with him. When I met him in his office, that same feeling carried over. He really seemed to care. In the hospital, he took the time to find out how I really felt and made sure I was taken care of. When I started seeing him for my post-op visits, I started to feel that he may not have been listening to everything I was telling him about how I was feeling. He missed me telling him that I felt I was getting a urinary tract/bladder infection which I ended up going to the ER for. I was miserable until I got the antibiotics I should've gotten right away. After that, he has made a point of listening and asking more questions. Sometimes he can be hard to read, but I have learned as time has gone by. Most of his office staff is very friendly. His main nurse was very nice to me pre-op and just shortly post-op but now she seems kind of like I am irritating her when I call if I have any kind of issue. It's kind of frustrating. Dr Kemmerling emphasizes aftercare very strongly. If after you go through everything and possibly don't have insurance for further follow-up visits, they offer visits at a rate comparable to a normal office visit copay to allow everyone the opportunity to get the full benefit of aftercare. When I had my pre-op visits Dr Kemmerling went over the risks/complications of surgery in detail with me. I had previously had a Nissan Fundoplication which is to take care of Acid Reflux/ Gerd. Because of this, he had to undo that surgery and then do the RNY so my surgery was more complex than usual. I was aware of everything going in. I would rate Dr Kemmerling as a top surgeon in surgical competence, beside manner and aftercare."
