Todd Eibes Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

i attended the free seminar that my surgeon's office put together. i made an appointment for my first consultation that day. within 30 days, i was completely approved for surgery by my insurance. Let me state that i had visited Weight loss surgical center and already done some of the preop work- medical records and psych exam- that my ins required. let me caution anyone using this practice- be very careful! i do not have anything nice to say about them so i am stopping right there.
dr Eibes' office has treated me with dignity and respect in every step of my journey. i love his staff and can highly recommend him. you will not be looked down upon or judged. they truly want to make obese people healthy. i felt i had no surprises at any point, in fact everything is explained multiple times so there are no misunderstandings. If you are thinking about wls, check out his office.

Dr. Todd Eibes - Great surgeon and can't speak highly enough about him.

Dr. Eibes is excellent. This man really knows what he is doing. He takes time at all the office visits to answer all my questions and made sure I was informed of all aspects of the procedure. rnrnGreat bedside manner. While I was in recovery he spoke with my wife and visited me a couple of times after surgery to answer any questions. rnrnVery competent. With his vast experience I felt very comfortable with him doing the surgery. rnrnSorry, can't think of anything negative...at this time.

Dr. Eibes seems like a very business like person. I can tell he likes what he does and you can also tell he cares about his patients. Dr. Eibes was very helpful to me after surgery and at the office visit. I had many questions about my after care and he was very patient with me and very informative.

My first impression of Dr Eibes was how nice and caring he was. It takes a very caring person to do what he is doing. My impression has never changed. Dr Eibes's office staff is very friendly and they help out in anyway they can. There is nothing I can say bad about Dr. Eibes. I would like to let anyone who is thinking about going to him not to be afraid he knows what he is doing and he cares. He has a few steps he wants his patients to do before he schedules surgery but it is worth it. Dr. Eibes really wants you to do what he asks because he knows what he is talking about and it helps your recovery go very good. Dr. Eibes makes sure you under stand all risks involved. I would rate Dr. Eibes and the rest of his staff an A+ they are the best. Both are great he is just a loving and caring man....

All I can say is I absolutely LOVE Dr Eibes. When I was in the hospital I heard nothing but great things about him and his team. He is very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable through the entire pre op and surgery journey. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He was the head of Bariatric's in anothe town and we are blessed he decided to come to Des Moines and open his own Bariatric Center. His team offers extensive aftercare along with having an exercise expert. Dr Eibes seems to be somewhat shy but he makes up for it in his surgical competence.

So far I am impressed with Dr. Eibes. He attends the monthly support groups on Saturdays and is always open and available for questions.rnDr. Eibes also seems passionate about wls. His passion and belief in the surgery kind of flows over to me and that just makes me feel like he believes in me. rnTomorrow is my surgery so I guess I'll put him to the test. :)

Dr. Eibes rocks! I have absolute faith in his abilities.

He is easy to talk to and ask questions. I very much had the feeling of personalization, that I was not just a number.rnrnThe office staff is great. The front desk person is a bit abrupt but not horribly so. It does make her a bit unapproachable.rnrnNot sure on the least part, nothing sticks out at this time as being a negative.rnrnVery structured aftercare program. One of the selling points for me to have the surgery.rnrnRisks, were discussed straight forward and he did not avoid any questions asked of him. He provided all his statistics up front in the 2 hour class.rnrnOverall, I'd say he was an 8 on a scale of 1-10.rnrnI would say surgical competence is better than bedside manner. Tho his bedside manner if not bad.

The first time I met Dr. Eibes, I was completely at ease. He has a wonderful personality, a true understanding of what overweight people go through such as criticism and prejudice. He has an awesome aftercare program with a great support group, dietician, exercise program, all of his staff are friendly and helpful!! He now has a plastic surgeon and psychologist on board as well!
