St Francis Hospital
"My surgeon Dr. Printen works out of 3 local hospitals but St. Francis is the one that he does most of the bariatric surgeries. The staff there is highly trained to work with him and knows how to care for bariatric patients. The have been suppling a number of rooms with large size beds, chairs etc. to accomidate the obese patient...they even have the extra large wheel chairs. I had a wonderful experience at St. Francis and would highly reccomend it to anyone. "

Kenneth Printen
"Dr. Printen has been involved with WLS for over 20 years. He is a very casual, laid back person. My 1st appointment he was running 1 hour behind schedule yet when I was being treated he never rushed and took the time to answer every question and concern. His relaxed attitude quelled any fears I had. The staff is very friendly and professional. The care I received at St. Francis was wonderful. Every person on every shift was friendly and caring and they know how to care for bariatric patients. Follow up care for the 1st year is included in the initial fee and is scheduled according to each individuals needs. If I remember correctly he then sees the patients once or twice a year after that. I have been more than satisfied with Dr. Printens surgical competence and bedside manner! The only negative thing I can think of is that he does run late on his office appointments but he takes the time with each person and doesn't rush you through."
