Stephen Wohlgemuth
"Dr. Wohlgemuth is without a doubt the most caring and understanding physician that I have ever been to. He is very WLS friendly and never once made be feel bad about my weight and making this decision. He was very empathetic and very supportive. He requires that you have insurance approval and have attended at least one of their support group meetings before surgery is scheduled. His secretary is just as caring and their entire office runs like a well-oiled machine. I feel very lucky to have found this group and especially this doctor. This group is just starting to have all of their doctors do the same after care across the board. Up to this point, they were each doing something different. They also have one WLS nurse who will field all the WLS calls. She's actually had the surgery herself and has done great. The support group meets on the second Tuesday of each month in their Kempsville office waiting room. All are welcome. Post op, pre op and even "just thinking". The only thing that I can think of as negative is the fact that they only have the one WLS nurse...sometimes she pretty hard to get ahold of and at early post op...EVERYTHING is an emergency to you and want answers yesterday.

"Since Dr. Lopes specializes in plastic surgery for women, I feel like she may have had a better "feel" for what I was looking for in a final result than others may have."
