Indukumar Sonpal Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF HIM WAS THAY HE WAS VERY CARING OPEN AND HONEST.HE ANSWERED ALL OF MY QUESTION HE EXPLAINED ALL OF THE RISK THAT ALSO COULD COME ALONG WITH THIS LIFE SAVING SURGERY. HIS STAFF IS AWESOME.HE HAS A VERY GOOD AFTERCARE PROGRAM. AND I WOULD RATE HIM EXCELLENT.

Dr Sonpal is basically a good guy. I only saw him once before the surgery date. The office staff is great. Overall i would give him a good rating but sometimes i thought i was rushed when i had a question to talk about after post op in the hospital. His bedside manner could inmprove . I think bedside manner is very important

Dr. Sonpal was very warm and friendly. The office staff were also very friendly and helpful. They are very backed up though. But it's the price I pay for one of the best surgical teams around.

I met briefly with Dr. Sonpal as part of the initial consultation seminar at the Cleveland Center for Bariatric Surgery .... I found the staff to be very professional and "together" and the seminar was very detailed and informative as well as inspiring. I know from speaking to others and my research that Dr. Sonpal and Dr. Schreiber are very highly recommended and experts in their field ....in fact both of my referring doctors as well as my OB/Gyn ONLY wanted them to do the surgery ....as many of you may already know these two surgeons always do their wls surgeries together as a team ...so essentially you have 2 of the best people in the field performing your surgery and I think that's a comforting thought! After getting the paperwork submitted to the office I rec'd my approval letter in just 2 weeks! Sherry the staff member that deals with the insurance matters is wonderful! :o)

I thought Dr.Sonpal was great from the first meeting.My impression has not changed one bit. He is the Best.The office staff is as great as he is.Very helpful.There is not one thing I can say I didn't like.He is very informative.They all have been wonderful after the surgery and before surgery.I think the whole cleveland baractric staff are the best.I think the sugical competence is most important.

Dr. Sonpan was very professional when I met him, yet also made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. His office staff have been great with helping me get my insurance approval, etc.

I met with Dr. Sonpal (Schrieber and Sonpal) in December, 2001 and found him to be warm, informative and very professional. Additionally, the staff members were helpful (especially Sherry, who handles insurance matters)and truthfully the process went very quickly.

In January, 2001, I attended a seminar Dr. Sonpal's office presents to potential clients interested in WLS. This was very informative and pretty much made up my mind. After care support, adherence to the recommended nutrition/exercise guidelines, and dedication to changing one's lifestyle were clearly emphasized and stressed as critical to the success of the surgery.

Right then and there I realized this was serious business, and I decided if it was meant to be and theinsuranceapproved the surgery that this had to be the right thing for me to do.

Sherry filed the insurance and my insurance company approved the surgery right away. Truthfully, I expected a battle and was stunned that they said yes. Sherry set up my preop date as June 1, 2001 and my surgery is set for June 22, 2001.

I can't wait for my life to really "begin" on June 23, 2001. I appreciate all the support and prayers, and I will do likewise to everyone considering this surgery.

Godspeed!

I first met Dr. Sonpal on Jan 2nd 2001. It took approx. 3 months to get in. My first impression was very positive. There is a slight quirkiness to my personality and I wasn't sure if he would "get it". What I found is that he has a great sense of humor and speaks very clearly. I will update more later because we only had the one meeting.

Just starting with the process.

Very helpful on the phone.
