"I have struggled my whole life with weight issues. Dr. Aranow finally gave me permission to do the right thing about them. He and his staff were kind and knowledgeable. His before care and aftercare programs are great. I have always felt supported and cared for and cheered on.

Patient Testimonial: daner2
"Dr. Robles seems to be one of the kindest Dr's I have ever met. The first time I met him I was made to feel very comfortable. He explained everything to me in detail and made me feel as though I were his only patient. A few months later my husband and I went back to see him and again I was made to feel very comfortable. He explained everything to my husband and again we never felt rushed. He explained the risks of surgery in matter of fact tone of voice but made sure that we knew that my risk factors were very low. Dr. Robles is a very confident, empathetic, and caring Physician and I feel very good about putting myself in his hands."

Patient Testimonial: buzybee7
"I had my Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy on March 14th, 2013 with Dr. Baker. Dr. Baker was recommended to me by several people. I was not disappointed!!! He and his team did a wonderful job with my surgery. They were very thorough, taking time before surgery to make sure I was educated and prepared. All the little extra's they provide helped me have a positive surgery experience! Thank you Dr. Baker and team!!!"

"Dr. July provided me all the information I could want about every aspect of the surgery and answered every question I had.

Patient Testimonial: tkfehr
"You, Dr. Gipson, my lifesaver, “LISTENED” to me. I appreciate your prompt attention to my problem and for being a Dr. that really cared, and for recognizing that I would not be able to conquer this on my own. I have had numerous surgeries and have never had a Dr. with such wonderful bedside manor and who gave me the feeling that they really cared for me and what I was going through as you did.

Patient Testimonial: Pamofyork
"Dr. Ringley and his staff were phenomenal. They have an excellent program starting with their introductory educational session, all the way through post op care. They worked with me every step of they way through my pre op preparation and were in constant communication with me through the whole process. I knew what was done and what I had to do. My nutritional health was addressed right off the bat, so by the time I was ready for surgery my life style changes had already started to occur. My surgery went off without a hitch, and I have had absolutely no issues or complications. Dr. Ringley is a compassionate, caring and talented surgeon. My surgery was 6 months ago and I feel absolutely back to my old self...only with tons of energy and 94 less pounds. This' was the biggest, scariest, decision of my life and I am so thankful that I placed myself in Dr. Ringley's hands."

Patient Testimonial: tiffany T.
"Dr. Baranov is an amazing surgeon. He was very easy to talk to, and ensures that you have an understanding of all three procedures, so you can make the best choice for you. He cares about his patients and will do all he can to help you to succeed. There was never a time when consulting with him that he made me feel insecure or ashamed of being overweight. My surgery went smooth sailing. I had no complications. I am three months out and have absolutely no regrets. Dr. Baranov, himself, even called me at HOME on a WEEKEND to make sure I was still doing well post discharge. I would recommend Dr. Baranov to anyone who is considering weightloss surgery. His attention to detail and support is greatly appreciated!"
