Fairview - University Medical Center

"They did a very good job for me at the U of M. The Dr.s are very good here. Anything I needed they supplied for me. This is nice, as a patient needs to bring nothing with them. Thus making the stay less complicated. I would tell anyone that this is a very capable surgery facility and my recovery period was rough but they met my needs very well for me."

Henry Buchwald

"I was very impressed with Dr. Henry Buchwald. He is a very knowledgeable man when it comes to the field of Duodenal Switch Bariatric surgery. My high impression of him has not changed. He is a very concerned individual when I had a few problems. I like his staff. Danette is great, when you can get a hold of her. I sent emails but she is not good about returning them. I did better by just calling and I was usually able to get her by calling her number. She really gets things done when you ask her to do something. She was good at getting approval FAST from the insurance company. What people should know is Dr. Buchwald is funny, but a no nonsense person and he gets the job done.rnAftercare is good. He has other members of the staff that he delgates authority to. This way he can concentrate on what he does best, SURGERY. I now see Dr. Tesfaye in Endocrinology for diabetes follow up. What a great staff!! Overall I would rate Dr. Henry Buchwald a 10 for the whole procedure for Duodenal Switch Surgery. I would recommend him to anyone and I have already done that. I think he ranks equally well as far as bedside manner and surgical competence. But when it gets right down to it, most importantly he is best at the surgical aspect. I am proud to have been operated on by what I consider one of the best in the field of what he does. I am so fortunate I feel to have had Him as MY Surgeon. I think he will be known in history as one of the pioneers of this industry. Thank YOU Dr. Buchwald from Jim Getzkow."
