Deciding to have lapband surgery was not something I entered into lightly and it was very important to me that I have a highly qualified doctor. With that in mind, I attended a seminar and was very impressed with his professionalism. During the consult, Dr. Spivak was very helpful, answering my questions in a positive way. I felt very confident in his expertise and signed up for the lapband surgery. It was the best decision I could have made. I have nothing but praise to say about Dr. Spivak and his staff. The surgery went smoothly. I didn't have any problems from the surgery and was able to go back to work after a few days. Another reason I chose him is that his practice also included support meetings that I could attend. I attended the support group meetings for 10 months... [Click here for more] and can't imagine going through this journey without those meetings. I've have two fills since my surgery a year ago and each time Dr. Spivak has answered my questions thoroughly before he completed the fills. I would highly recommend him to anyone (and have).

My first impression of Dr. Spivak was he was very knowledgeable of bariatric surgery and has a care for his patients for the procedure to work for them. Over time my confidence in him as my aftercare physician has only grown stronger. His office staff ( Bea, Rachel and Brenda) to just mention a few as there are others are all wonderful and professional and care about you as a patient and your journey to weightloss. I cannot say there is anything I dislike about Dr. Spivak or his office staff, only positive things in my experience. Dr. Spivak is a qualified bariatric surgeon and offers great aftercare to his patients. He strongly recommends aftercare and follow-ups regularly. Dr. Spivak requires a seminar and consultation of all patients before surgery and is very informative of all... [Click here for more] risk with both lap-band and by-pass surgery. In my opinion Dr. Spivak is the best qualified bariatric surgeon in the Houston, Texas area and I highly recommened him to all new people looking into bariatric surgery. Dr. Spivaks surgical competence as well as his bedside manner are wonderful.

I had my surgery on 11-20-06 with Dr. Hadar Spivak in Houston, TX. The surgery is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Dr. Spivak and his staff made me and my family feel secure in my decision for weight loss surgery and I would recomend him to anyone wishing to make this wonderful, life-altering journey. I lost almost 100 pounds in a little over a year. With the lapband, I was able to get pregnant and have a beautiful healthy baby. Now I can be an active and loving mommy. My husband and I are grateful for this miracle, one that wasn't possible without the weight loss. Dr. Spivak has been supportive every step of the way and I wouldn't dream of using another Doctor.

Dr. Spivak was my first choice as my doctor for my weight loss surgery. His attitude toward his patients is undescribeable. He takes the time to explain all aspects of the process in the weight loss surgery. His staff is very helpful, reliable and have great attitudes. Even though I have not had the oppourtunity to use the after care program everything I have read or heard about the program is magnificent. On the day of surgery Dr. Spicak took the time to explain all again and ask if you have any questions or concerns. I would refer any one out there thinking about weight loss surgery to take the time to attend the seminar and speak to Dr. Spivak. You will not be sorry. Posted on 11/13/2008 |

He was very confident and optimistic and informative. Both he and his staff are upbeat and encouraging. I rate him excellent overall. I would say both his surgical competence and bedside manner are very good. Many of the nurses in the hospital were patients as well and all of them said Dr. Spivak was absolutely the best surgeon.

Living in the Houston area, I consider myself very fortunate to have so many options for outstanding medical care. I researched many options and many physicians in the Houston area when considering what to do about attacking my life-long struggle with obesity. When I found Dr. Spivak's website, I spent hours. Upon attending the seminar with my husband, I knew that I had found the surgeon who would change my life. Obesity is an epidemic in my family, and when I saw the trend continuing in one of my own children, I knew it was my duty to stop it once and for all; my parents had fad-dieted and taken me on that roller coaster with them since I was 8 years old, and my metabolism and body was a war zone. He looked past all that, and reached out to help. Dr. Spivak immediately struck... [Click here for more] me as candid, compassionate, and completely competent. He also struck a chord with my skeptical husband, who entered completely dead-set against the procedure. After dealing with the office staff and personnel at the seminar and meeting with Dr. Spivak, who was so patient and caring during our consultation in answering questions, my husband was also thoroughly convinced that Dr. Spivak was the answer to my prayers. The surgery, after-care, support group...EVERYTHING has been first class. I would not recommend anyone else!!
It's been almost one year this week, and I am down about 120 lbs and am looking forward to a tummy tuck and the rest of my life! God bless Dr. Spivak!
