Helmut Schreiber Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

7-1-03 TODAY WAS THE FIRST TIME I MET DR.SCHREIBER, OF COURSE I WAS NERVOUS AND HE ASKED ME QUESTIONS SUCH AS IF I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THIS SURGERY MEANT, LIKE AS FAR AS FOODS THAT WILL MAKE ME GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK, AND IF I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE SURGERY CONSISTED OF, SUCH AS PROCEDURE AND I KNEW THE ANSWERS LIKE THAT, JUST ONCE HE ASKED, I WAS LIKE DUH!! DENSE WITH THE DUMMY HAT ON, I THOUGHT FOR SURE HE WOULD SAY NO, SINCE I WAS SO DUMB.!! BUT HE SAID I WAS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE SURGERY, OTHER THAN THAT, HE WAS REALLY NICE AND VERY FORWARD, BUT IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED FROM HIM (FROM OTHER PROFILES I HAVE READ ON HIM)

Dr.Scheiber was very up front and very kind.the office staff has been very knowledgeable,and helpful,and there to listen.my first visit with Dr.Scheiber was a long wait,about 2 hrs.,my husband and I didn't mind.We met some people that were waiting longer,and we made some new friends.
I know I'm in the right hands.And that things will happen for a reason.I'm hoping to have the bariatric surgery next year sometime,there is a waiting list until February.I don't mind,just would like to have it done.I've heard alot about Dr.Scheiber and he is good at what he does,and he has a very professional manner.
The staff at SVCH bariatrc center has been very helpful,and they really care.They treat me as a person not a number and would do anything to make it easier on you.
Latonya, Dr.Scheiber's assistant has been very helpful,I had a problem with getting some progress notes from my Doctor and she called them and they are going to send them out tomorrow!All the letters are in,except for my psych eval.and get approval from my insurance company.
Melissa the surgery scheduler is upfront & honest.But she knows how you feel and she will help anyway she can.

I was pleasantly suprised by Dr. Schreiber. I had read that he seemed to be all business, but I didn't have this experience. I felt very comfortable with him. I thought I wanted a more "warm & fuzzy" type of surgeon, but I think I am in capable and caring hands with Dr. Schreiber.

I found his office staff to be very efficient. I had origionally chose Ohio State to have my surgery, but got so discusted with their time frame and lack of communication that I decided to do my homework and switch to St. Vincent. I was approved for surgery in February and just a week ago heard from Ohio State. St. Vincent is much more on the ball and organized.

i met dr.schrieber when i went to my consultation we spoke maybe for 20 mins he seem to be nice he answered all mine and my husbands questions so for i like him.

Dr. Schreiber, knows his business. He is serious about what he's doing, and straight with you about what to do and not to do. He also makes sure you know what your doing and if you can handle the change that's about to occur. His staff is excellent!, although it sometimes is hard to get a hold of them or a response in what you feel is a proper time period. But once you do contact them they are very helpful. I'm looking forward to a life change and being out in the world not just part of the world. Thank you Dr. Schreiber!

I HAVE NOT SEEN DR SCHREIBER YET

Dr. Schreiber was very professional.
Very straight forward.Very informative,if
you take the initiative.
At first I felt as if I was being tested
on the facts of the surgery.
He asked me a lot of questions about the
surgery to see if I was informed.
I feel confident in his ability as a surgeon.
That is what is important.
His staff is very friendly,but also very
busy.Everything went smoothly for me.

I was very fortunate to have a wonderful skilled surgeon. I had previous scar tissue and was found to have 5 hernias that Dr. Schreiber repaired. I would recommend him to anyone that is considering the surgery.

I liked Dr.Schreiber he answer all my questions.

I met with Dr. Schreiber on 2/8/03. Yes, he is straight-forward as many have expressed, but I was greeted with an open personality and a nice sense of humor as well. He thoroughly covered all aspects of the surgery including the risks and techincal aspects of the procedure. He asks many questions to gauge your understanding the surgery, risks and post-operative behaviors necessary to ensure not only success, but to avoid complications as well. The office staff was very informative and friendly. I did not feel rushed at any point and believe I have made the perfect choice in Dr. Schreiber and the staff at CCBS. I would recommend that anyone considering surgery seriously look into the program at CCBS.
