St. John Providence Weight Loss Bariatric Center

I was sleeved on 10/12/11 and my mother was sleeved on 10/7/12. We both had Dr. Marshall and he is awesome! I was a little scared about undergoing the surgery at a young age, but after meeting him, I knew I had nothing to worry about. He has been nothing less than wonderful to my mom and I! I actually look forward to my doctor appointments. I would do it all over again if I had to. I have and do highly recommend Dr. Marshall to anyone considering weight loss surgery!

I had a Sleeve done by Dr Keith Marshall 10/07/2011. I cannot tell how how many ways it has changed my life. Dr Marshall has been there all the way for me. From explaining the surgery, being there for my aftercare and then my follow up. My daughter also had a sleeve done by Dr Marshall 10/12/2011. He treats you like a person and is easy to get a hold of if you have questions or concerns. This was important to me especially after surgery. You can page him directly and he calls you back in a timely manner. Have not once regretted my surgery or my choice in Surgeons. His office staff is very caring also

dr. kole is an amazing surgeon. he performed my surgery 9-29-10. to this date i have loss 150 lbs. it has been a journey but when i am feeling down i can rely on him, he is encouraging and most of all truthful. he tells his patients you must exercise. so true. i as still losing weight but at a real so pace. im cool with it and the reality of gastric bypass surgery. i dont know what i would have done without him. thank you dr. kole. when i first him i was amazed. he is kindhearted and he listens with respect and answers all questions. if you want a great surgeon this is the one.

Dr. Katz is a terrific doc. His office is wonderful. They are always there for question or concerns. Dr. Katz did a wonderful job on me and I had no complications. His concerns for me after surgery was above and beyond. I would recommend him to everyone.

I had Rue N Y surgery in 4-09, downtown Henry Ford. I moved to Warren, and decided I wanted to find a doc closer to home. I then found out I had a hernia, so I called the Henry Ford Hosp South Macomb and asked them to recommend a doc that has experience with Weight loss surgery. They gave me Doc Pesta. I went to see him about what I thought was a hernia fix. and he was very polite and understanding, to let me know that the hernia wasn't from the WLS. it was on my back. So I went home.. Laughing honestly.. the in Dec 2011, I went to the hosp. for gut pain. and found out that my gall bladder was the size of a baked potato. At first, due to my own stupidity, but I thought I had a valid reason. I refused surgery from Doc Pesta. He tried everything to explain to me that I needed this removed ASAP. with the size, and if anything broke off it, and got into the intestine with the WLS, how it would kill me and there was nothing he could do to fix it. I still refused. And you could see how upset he was, but he also understood. Well, long story short, hubby walked in, and I had surgery that day.! I was so SCARED!! I have never been afraid of surgery, but he honestly held my hand. and he never left my side until they had me out. And when I woke up, he was there.. He is the first doctor in a LONG time that truly cares!. I now have to have a revision done to the WLS, and he will be the only one to do it.!!!! I have found a doc that cares, and gave me his direct cell number, just incase I need him... He is truly Amazing.!!!

Dr. Marshall has my respect. I had The Sleeve 8/10/11, no complications, no pain and he had great bed side manners to boot. He answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. His office staff is professional and attentive. I am down 90lbs and I feel great.

I have nothing good to say about him!!!! He's arrogant, incompetent, and needs to stay out of an operating room.

Dr Carl Pesta stands for (Dr) D= dearest R=Remarkable (Carl) C= caring A=astonishing R= respected L= loyal (Pesta) P= positive E=excellent S=suburb & sympathetic T=trendy A= amazing. Dr Pesta is AN AMAZING MAN, SURGEON; I selected him personally because I know firsthand what kind of Doctor he is. I work at Henry Ford Warren I see him day in and day out and I saw how compassionate, sincere, and skilled he is. I also heard his patients say how wonderful he is and how they would never change their decision to have surgery by Dr. Pesta. I had Gastric Bypass surgery November 16, 2011 and today is January 24, 2012 it's been 9 weeks and I have lost 46lbs. I truly would recommend Dr Pesta to EVERYONE. He is the Best and he is so charming. He really loves what he does and has such a compassion for people. Dr Pesta is very comforting and his bedside manner is remarkable. I can go on and on, all I can say is he is the best and I not only have the best surgeon but a life long friend.

From the first time that I met with Dr. Hawasli I approached him and asked him to please help me because at the time I was in and out of the hospital with Congestive Heart Failure and he looked at me and smiled and I felt a sense of sincerity, and so much kindness and he told me he would do all that he could and he did! His office and my doctor fought to get my approval. and with Dr. Hawasli there is no rich person or no poor person you are a person whom he wants to help. My niece who recommended Dr. Hawasli to me is more on the rich side and myself well God helps take care of my needs and Dr. Hawasli treated me no different than he did my niece and I received the same type of surgery as well as compassion from his staff as my niece did there is no favoritism with Dr. Hawasli a true caring and sincere person. I think he is an excellent surgeon, doctor and just all the down to earth man! May God continue to Bless is success and his hands which he works from.

I just love Dr. Marshall, he is funny and kind and understanding! Whenever I see him at my follow-ups I call him Skinny Minny because he had the surgery too which I like because he really knows what you're going through and even if he didn't have the surgery he is still a wonderful surgeon. In fact my husband is having the surgery and want Dr. Marshall to do his also!
