Ajay Goyal Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

Dr. Goyal performed my surgery in May 2004, I got pregnant in August of 2004. Now it is 2006 and I am still continuing my weight loss. I started out at 228 pounds....now I have 15 more pounds to go to reach my goal. Right now I weigh 140. Dr. Goyal is a very dedicated and very caring doctor before, during, and after surgery. He really helped to carefully monitor my pregnancy even though it is not his field.......he always made sure that everything was okay>

I am a 28 year old single mother of one. I have been heavy all of my life and I figured it was time for a change. That is when I met Dr. Goyal. I am in the process of changing my life. Dr. Goyal is very understanding, thourough, and wonderful.

I only considered weight loss surgery after years of attempts with little or no result at all. I can honestly say that I am reching my goals inside and out. Dr. Goyals has played a key role not only with my medical decisions, but with a major change in my health and lifestyle. I would like to commend him for his technique, professionalism, and his knowledge in the field. Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!! He also holds the best christmas parties!!!!!

I came to Dr. Goyal needing help with the effects of Morbid Obesity. Through gastric bypass surgery He hepled me out alot. Thanks Doctor!!!!!!!!!!

Before I had surgery with Dr. Goyal I weighed 247lbs. at a height of 5"3. A year later I am at 179lbs. Dr. Goyal is very professional and he has helped me through some rough times.

I have been overweight for about 10 years. I tried everything to lose weight and nothing worked..........................until I met Dr. Goyal. He is excellent!!!!! He is trustworthy and resposible. I would recommend him to anyone because he takes great care of his patients................and he will tell you exactly how things are!

My first impression of Dr. Goyal is that he likes to let his patients do the talking. He is very serious about weight loss and he doesn't want his patients to take the surgery lightly.

My impressions of him changed as we had more meetings and was able to meet some of his patients. I found him to be very dedicated about the overall care of his patients. It doesn't stop after the surgery. He is at support meetings, you can speak to him if you need advice or support and he does the best he can to make sure you get the help you need.

His future patients should know that he and his staff work hard to help you. However you have to be willing to help yourself by going to your appointments and being honest with your doctors.

He emphasizes taking your vitamins, eating small meals and chewing your food, and going to support meetings. Support groups and follow up care are extremely important for success with the band.

Dr. Goyal took the time to review the complications and explain each.

Overall I would refer Dr. Goyal to any patient interested in weight loss surgery and looking for a good, reliable and experience surgeon. His staff is superb at doing their jobs and helping their patients.

When you have your surgery with Dr. Goyal you are not only losing weight, you are gaining a family.

My first impression of Dr, Goyal was great. He was very open with me and as funnny as ever. My impressions have not changed much. I enjoy being under his care. His office staff was very nice and helpful to me. They were able to answer any questions I had and assisted me in any way they could. Future patients should no that he is very forthcoming and honest . He will not lie to you about anything that could or woudl take place after surgery. He emphasizes after-care to the 100th degree and really does expect you to hold up your end of the bargain. His aftercare program is very structured. He gives appointments frequently to make sure you are doing well. I would rate Dr. Goyal a ten. Both his surgical competence and bedside manner are great. Many people have a way of making obese people feel less than. Dr. Goyal and his staff made me feel as though I was the most beautiful person inspite of my weight. I really appreciate them for that.

My First impression of Dr Goyal was how absolutely cute he was. I even told my husband. But then I thought, what a sweet spirit he has. The man is devoted to his work/art. He is very straight forward and you will not be disappointed in his patience and aftercare. Why he even goes to the support groups! Amazing! Totally devoted! You will not be sorry you picked him!

His office staff is wonderful. Cynthia and Dawn are just angels sent from above. They are very big on confidentiality, so you wont see your information floating about and they wont even discuss anything over the phone if they are not in a private setting. So Ladies/Gentlemen please feel secure that no one else will even know you went to them. Why they even have a cover page on top of the sign in sheet! See what I mean about privacy!

He emphasized after care more than my husband. I mean the man said that he is making a lifetime commitment to me. I actually believe him more than I believe my husband when he says he'll never leave me! ha ha ha. Seriously though, he did promise us that this is not just a surgery for him, it's a lifetime commitment. (just like my marriage to my wonderful hubby)

He seems to have a good aftercare program. He has monthly support group meetings. He gives you his pager/cell number. What more can the man do? I mean short of moving in with each and every single one of us. He is totally devoted to his work/art. and he goes over the risks continuously.

Surgical competence is great. However, it's that bedside manner than can mean the difference. I want to be confident that whomever operates on me, for whatever reason that I could trust him. Any surgery is risky and if you dont feel safe with your doctor then you better keep looking elsewhere. Personally Dr. Goyal has a very sweet spirit, but dont let that fool you, the man is sure of his competencies as a doctor and will never operate on you because of money reasons. I never felt like I was just an addition to his new house or a ski trip to the french alps. He sat down and laid out all the cards on the table. Not once BUT TWICE. And he has them on his website. I'm very confident in my selection. He honestly cares for me and my well being. I cant emphasize how devoted the man is and how confident I am that I have made the best decision of my life. God bless and good luck.
