Ask the nurses and other doctors about Dr. Nohr. They all hate him. He treats them with no respect and more than once nurses have threatened to leave because of him. He may be an OK doctor but he sure does not know how to treat his pears.

I had surgery with Dr. Nohr in 2003. I was operated on a Thursday, and discharged on a Tuesday. Dr. Nohr came in and checked on me EVERY single day - even over the weekend, to make sure I was okay. Had it not been for him, I would have been dead by now and my children would have been wards of the Province, as I am a single parent. He has improved my health considerably - lost 160 pounds, and although he is soft spoken, he is VERY honest, and will not sugar coat things. And I also wanted to comment that HE DOES NOT MAKE MONEY OFF THE RNY!!! In fact, the Government pays him a disgustingly small amount for the procedure that people pay THOUSANDS to have done privately. Also, he provides a panni or tummy tuck to those patients who need it after drastic weight loss. I have had many doctors examine me since that surgery 2.5years ago, and the are AMAZED at how good of a job he did. He gets paid a VERY small amount for the work on that as well, while Plastic Surgeons charge THOUSANDS!

Dr. Nohr did a RNY for me on November 16, 2006 (my 38th birthday). He was blunt, professional and caring. He did not mince words but explained the procedure in detail. He called me at home prior to surgery. He checked on me everyday following surgery. At first I thought his beside manner was too abrupt. He was not one to coddle...at the time, I was probably a bit more needy than normal. I think he saved my life and gave me more years with my children. All in all, that alone makes him a wonderful doctor. Seek his help without worries. You will be in good hands.

I went through about 2 months of horrible abdominal pain before seeing a few docs and finally being referred to Dr. Nohr. After determining that my gallbladder needed to be removed he scheduled the procedure within days. It went off without a hitch and I feel 100% better. It's nice that after 2 months of talking to 5 different docs I found one who solved the problem. People would be much more thankful for doctors like Nohr if they had to deal with the pain I endured for months, and that he took care of in days. The surgery itself is no more than 2 hours and is less painful than gallstones. Thanks Dr. Nohr. R. Dupuis

Dr. Nohr is a highly skilled and caring surgeon who cared for my physical and emotional self during my recent cancer surgeries. His gentle manner and quiet tone can seem standoffish at first but is actually just him being genuine and focused. He books surgery dates himself which is so reassuring and convenient as you can make a treatment decision knowing exactly when surgery could be. My cancer is gone and my surgery scar is very clean and minimal. I am doing well physically and emotionally and I thank Dr. Nohr for his part in helping me get to this point.

I have never met his staff so I cannot comment on them. Dr. Nohr bases his decisions on care by your lifestyle. If you have tattoos, take drugs, were in jail, and you see Dr. Nohr, you are dead. Arrogant, I have heard him speak about his colleagues with disdain and I should not have been made an audience about his low sarcastic demeaning of a colleague. He’s terrible.

He is a man of very few words and most of them are spoken very quietly. This man is very respectful, extremely knowledgeable, and an exceptional surgeon with incredible patient care. I would give Dr Nohr 10+ stars if it were possible. My fiancee has never encountered a doctor let alone a surgeon that has personally phoned immediately after my surgery to communicate how things went. Dr Nohr also came to my room later in the evening still in scrubs to personally check on me. What an amazing individual.
