SSM Health Weight Management Services

"The hospital was clean and adequate to meet my needs. It is just as good, if not better, than any other around. The only problem I encountered was that the "transporters" were so busy that I had to wait in recovery longer than I should have and it was worrying my hubby upstairs. Other than that one incident right after surgery, those transporters really know how to drive the hallways! "

Roger De La Torre

"My first impression of Dr. de la Torre was that he looked very young. He was very thorough in addressing the risks of having bariatric surgery. He and his staff were wonderful and still are! Nancy has become one of my favorite people. She is so kind and answered all my questions. Aftercare is emphasized very heavily. It is their intention to not only give the "tool" for weight loss, but how to utilize that tool for maximum benefits and success. They offer weight loss surgery group meetings and highly recommend that each patient attend at least three monthly aftercare support groups at their facilty. On a scale of 0-10 (0-the least, 10-the most) he and his office staff rate an 11. I was totally confident in his God-given skills as a surgeon. I had no problems or worries about his competence or his ability to perform surgery on me. The whole experience was a positive one for both, my husband and I. We were well-informed and comfortable with Dr. de la Torre and his staff. I would highly recommend his services to anyone wanting this surgery. "

Laura Brenner

"Dr. Brenner was wonderful! She seemed to be very professional and I felt at ease right away. I told her why I was there and we talked for an hour. I liked her and if I ever feel the need for therapy, she would be who I would contact. "

Heather Pierce

"Dr. Heather Pierce is a doctor who has listened to my every concern since I have been seeing her. I feel I have a very good bond with her. She has been well-qualified in treating my needs prior to surgery and has promised to walk through this journey with me. Very patient friendly. "
