Surgeon Testimonial

Carl M. Pesta, M.D., F.A.C.O.S
My first impression of Dr. Pesta was that he was a very sincere person. He really seems to have a passion for what he does, and a genuine concern for his patients. Each time I see him it further validates those thoughts. He is extremely easy to talk to and to voice concerns to. The staff at his office is great. Sally, the program coordinator (who works out of the hospital, not the office), is one of the greatest people I've ever met. She will help you with anything you need help with. L'Nore, the patient advocate, is awesome too. She has had surgery herself as well, and is very candid about the process and what she's been through. I was very impressed with the entire staff.
All in all, if you are looking for a great surgeon I would highly recommend Dr. Pesta. He has great bedside manner, he's friendly, funny, and up front. There is a very structured aftercare program (which is outlined in the "WLS bible") that they provide you with, which has tons of info in it to help you along the way. I feel I couldn't have chosen a better surgeon. Thanks Dr. Pesta.

you don't know who i am?
posted on 2/26/11 6:04 am
you know you're on the right track when people who work in the same building as you (but don't see you often) don't recognize you. Two ladies were talking and said "isn't that the girl that works over in that department?" and when the other one said "no" i almost did a little happy dance. i smiled. later on the lady who said "no" saw me in the parking lot and just couldn't believe it was really me. it felt so good. i've never been one to take compliments easily, but i never get tired of hearing them. while i had this surgery to improve my health and my quality of life, the outward appearance is just a bonus. i feel great, and for the first time in my life i'm beginning to be able to say i care about myself and i love myself. that's a huge step in this journey - and hopefully i won't trip and fall.
