Dr. Robert J. Obermeyer

From the moment I met Dr. Obermeyer on my son's first visit with him, I felt at ease with him. While my son on the other hand was just a wee bit queasy to the stomach and sweat dripping from his forward at the thought of having any type of surgery. Quickly, Dr. Obermeyer responded by offering him a drink and something to drink to comfort him, yet such a small kind gesture to display at the first office visit has remained consistent throughout the every visit before my son's surgery, his stay in the hospital, and to his aftercare. Dr, Obermeyer not only spoke to me, he spoke more to my son in the explanation of what was happening, what to expect, and what needed to be done. By doing this, he was able to ease my son's fear with his kindness, genuineness, and compassion over time with each visit. As a mother I couldn't be more grateful and amazed to watch my son's growth this past year. The day of my son's surgery, I watched doctor's come out and speak to parents in the waiting room with everyone else around and when Dr. Oberymeyer came out and took me aside in a separate room I have to admit I was a little scared, but what soon learned is that I had nothing to be scared of, Dr. Obermeyer who showed his professionalism and attention to me in regards to my son and I quietly in my head thanking him for that. What surprised me next was Dr. Obermeyer had told us that it would take some time before we would seen any results, but not only was I truly amazed at how my son's chest looked so was my son. My son told him 'thank you' that day. Words truly cannot describe the amazing care, genuine personality, awesome bedside manner, professionalism, expertise, and unexpected belief that a doctor can leave you with the feeling there really are some good ones in this world today. Like the previous post, I also agree that his degree in mechanical engineering does give him the perfect combination for being the perfect surgeon for this procedure. Because it wasn't about just putting the bars in, it was about what is right and what will work best not just for today but for tomorrow too. Don't get me wrong, my son also has to continue his part with his exercises after the procedure to really make it work and he knows that not by me just telling him but that he was made part of it by Dr. Obermeyer. I would like to conclude, for me as a mother, Dr. Obermeyer was a heaven sent guardian angel to watch over and protect my son throughout his procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Obermeyer to any parent whose child needs this procedure. Thank you.

We think Dr Obermeyer is the perfect surgeon for this procedure. He is accessible, thoughtful, unpretentiuos and experienced. He also has a degree in mechanical engineering. To us, the perfect combination needed to perform the Nuss procedure. His primary concern was for the safety of our child. During the consults he answered every question and provided clear explanations. He never made us feel that time was an issue and we had plenty of questions for him. He personally followed up during the recovery period. Highly recommended
