Ronald H. Clements Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

I had my gastric by pass surgery July 2, 2008. I have lost a total of 150 pounds. Dr. Clements was great, he is the best doctor. I am trully going to miss him. He was always ready to help and answer my questions, I would do it again today if I had to. I am starting next month to have my plastic surgery for the skim removal.

I love my doctor. He has told me what to do, what to expect and has been such a potterer in sculpting the new me. The staff has been great, and together they will follow my progress for a lifetime. I would rate him 10 out of 10 anyday.

My surgeon was Dr. Clements. His staff and him are awesome!! He is straight forward and is very detailed oriented. I am glad that I let him do my surgery. It has changed my life forever. I had surgery on Dec. 11th and my life has not been the same since then.

I CAN TRULY SAY THAT DR. CLEMENTS HAS BEEN A GOOD DOCTOR. HE SEEMS TO BE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HIS PATIENTS AND HE DEMONSTRATES \"TOUGH LOVE\"(GOOD WORD??) WHEN MAKING SURE YOU ARE FOLLOWING YOUR POST-OP INSTRUCTIONS. I APPRECIATE HOW HE ORDERS TESTS WHEN I FEEL I HAVE A PROBLEM OR CONCERN--HE CHECKS THINGS OUT IMMEDIATELY. I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED BY HIS SKILLS AND HIS PHYSICIAN'S MANNERS....I AM GLAD I CHOSE HIM AS MY BARIATRIC SURGEON, I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM ANY DAY. NOW HIS STAFF IS ANOTHER STORY, BUT THEY'VE PROVEN TO HAVE SHAPED UP A BIT LATELY. I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT HE HAS PROBABLY TAKEN ON TOO MANY PATIENTS, WHICH MAKES HIM SEEM A LITTLE BIT UNAVAILABLE AT TIMES, BUT IT'S NOT TOO BAD...OH, HE REMINDS ME OF OPIE A LITTLE BIT...THAT REALLY HELPED ME TO TRUST HIM EVEN MORE ; }.

Good first impression, very professional. Tells you upfront that there are risks, explains them and that he expects cooperation from you in following his instructions. told me on my last visit to him June 13 that I had until the day of surgery to change my mind.

I LOVE AND TOTALLY TRUST DR CLEMENTS.IF ANYONE OUT THERE IS LOOKING FOR A SURGEON HE'S THE BEST. HIS STAFF WITH TERESA AND ALICIA HAVE BEEN THROUGH WLS SO THEY TOTALLY UNDERSTAND ALL YOUR UPS AND DOWNS AND CAN HELP YOU THROUGH ANYTHING.I HAVE NO DOUBT I MADE THE BEST DECSION TO GO TO DR CLEMENTS AND HIS STAFFS OFFICE.

I was very impressed with Dr. Clements and his staff. Most of his staff have had bariatric surgery, so they know what you are going through. My sisters are RNs in the operating room and have nothing but high praise for his skill as a surgeon. He did not sugar coat anything about this process; that it is not easy and is just a tool, and you will have to learn to eat properly and exercise.

I had my first initial visit with Dr. Clements today, 2/8/02 and I was very impressed with him. His bedside manner was wonderful. He was straight to the point. His staff was very nice. Especially the insurance girl Michelle. There wasn't anything that I didn't like about Dr. Clements, because he was just straight forward. All future patients should know that Dr. Clements is the best and that you will most certainly be in good hands. He really emphasized how important aftercare is and how much better you would be off if you continued your appointments. Dr. Clements have a very thorough and structured aftercare program that he strickly emphasize that his patients attend, for their own good. He addressed all the risk of surgery and that it's not a cosmetic procedure but it is strickly for health reasons. Overall I will rate Dr. Clements an A+. His surgical compentence and beside manner were both great and equally in importance.

Dr. Clements saved my life when other surgons would not touch me. He is a very Holy man and will pray with you before surgery. I cant say enough good about him and his staff.
