Kirk Sahagian Bariatric Surgeon

I wasn't sure if I was going to like him, but after I came to realize he was doing everything and then some to make this surgery work for me while keeping me healthy my attitude changed. His office staff is wonderful. His aftercare is very important to keep you healthy while on this new journey. Be prepared if he thinks you need a certain test done, it's going to be done. Dr. Sahagian let me know from my 1st appointment what my risks would be. This man is straight forward he tells it like it is. I would rate him on a scale of 1-10, an 11. His surgical competence and bedside manner are impeccable. If I ever need another type surgery, you can be it will be Dr. Sahagian who I go to.

Dr. Sahagian is amazing! He was always very thorough when explaining things. I always was put at ease because he always reassured me that everything would be fine and I would do great! He always answered anything and everything. I couldn't have had a better surgeon! Thank you! :)
