I visited Dr. Rob Shuester last year for bariatric surgery. I was so nervous and I had a few questions and Dr. Shuester was patient and kind in answering all my questions and concerns. 6 months later he performed the Gastric Bypass on me and the surgery went phenomenally. I'm on my way to meeting my goal weight and I'm grateful to Dr. Shuester in helping me in that journey.

Dr Schuster has been phenomenal. He has been taking care of my wife and we both couldn't be happier. He always takes the time to explain things, and always walks her out of the room. 11/10 would recommend again.

Terrible; procrastinates about taking appropriate action to resolves urgent health issues, doesn’t follow up, doesn’t make eye contact, lack of empathy, concerned about his qualifications. Makes statements then contradicts statement.

I had a gastric sleeve in 2016 and developed a hernia along with bad acid reflux. Did not loose any weight. From the first appointment Dr. Schuster made me feel confident and excited for my procedure. Jan 2021 went from sleeve to gastric and loving the results so far. Staff is amazing!

I met Dr Schuster the morning of my emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix. He repaired the rupture and took excellent post operative care through his surgical team. I am eternally grateful for his surgical experience and skills. It saved my life. I am very pleased with the results and the post operative attention. Dr Schuster is an excellent surgeon.

Dr. Schuster was excellent! I had the sleeve done 6 years ago and developed acid reflux and a hernia. Nov 2020 Dr. Schuster converted my sleeve to the bypass. My reflex is gone. ??. Dr. Schuster is very personal and the staff was wonderful. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Schuster and staff.

Dr Schuster performed my gastric sleeve surgery approximately 5 weeks ago. I have had excellent results and have absolutely no complaints. He is obviously a highly gifted surgeon and I highly recommend him. A friend of mine also had the same procedure with him and also had very good results.

I had a sleeve done about 2.5 years ago, and just after the two year mark started having serious abdominal pain, heartburn, and GI problems. Dr. Schuster quickly diagnosed a stricture and my sleeve was twisted. He put an urgent status on my case and revised it to a gastric bypass. I am two weeks post revision surgery and feeling amazing. No pain, none of the previous symptoms, no vomiting, no heartburn, no GI upset. He was quick and cared about ensuring that I got not only the best treatment possible, but the best resolution possible.
If you're having issues with your sleeve please do NOT suffer in silence! Doctors like Dr. Schuster can and will help you resolve it!
