Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, Michigan
Dr. Genaw

This is a center for Excellence

My personal experience was wonderful. The nursing staff is specifically trained in WLS care, the unit is private, all private rooms, this is a teaching hospital, but no students are allowed. You must have clearance to enter this unit, so it is quite, no general people walking the halls.

Follow up care is great, appts. are easy to make and they generally run on time. Usually 1 hr total from the time you enter to when you are leaving.

Dr. Genaw did a great job with my surgery, his staff was helpful in getting the process moving and responded to all emails and phone calls.

I would recommend them anytime. If you want further information send me a private message.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
