My first impression of Dr. Pesta was that he was a very sincere person. He really seems to have a passion for what he does, and a genuine concern for his patients. Each time I see him it further validates those thoughts. He is extremely easy to talk to and to voice concerns to. The staff at his office is great. Sally, the program coordinator (who works out of the hospital, not the office), is one of the greatest people I've ever met. She will help you with anything you need help with. L'Nore, the patient advocate, is awesome too. She has had surgery herself as well, and is very candid about the process and what she's been through. I was very impressed with the entire staff.
All in all, if you are looking for a great surgeon I would highly recommend Dr. Pesta. He has great bedside manner, he's friendly, funny, and up front. There is a very structured aftercare program (which is outlined in the "WLS bible") that they provide you with, which has tons of info in it to help you along the way. I feel I couldn't have chosen a better surgeon. Thanks Dr. Pesta.
I love Dr. Marshall he is very nice and knows his stuff and I'm happy to have him as my surgeon The office was clean and nice staff was about the business of the patients Future patients should feel at ease talking to Dr. Marshall he has been doing his thing for a long time. You can visit Dr. Marshall with/without insurance he tells you he is responsible for you.
This was the surgeon that gave the seminar I went to about a month ago. Just had my first consultation with him today. Finally, a doctor that actually listens.

I feel incredibly blessed to have Dr. Keith Marshall as my surgeon. From meeting him at the informational seminar, it was clear that this physician was completely committed to the well being of each patient. It is rare to find such an established surgeon take special care to listen to his patient's concerns and address each one. As the pre-surgical process unfolded under the direction of Sally Green, RN at Henry Form Macomb-Warren Campus, I was amazed at how effortless the team made this seem.
Meeting with Dr. Marshall in his office just prior to my surgery exceeded my expectations of his role in this life changing step. Our discussion of "informed consent" was provided in such a thorough yet reassuring manner. His years caring for bariatric patients, both inside and outside the operating room, was clearly evident. During my hospitalization and in the recent weeks following my surgery, his availability, interest in my personal success, and support has remained strong. Dr.Marshall has so much to offer bariatric patients--I feel so fortunate to have had such a positive experience because of this gifted and caring surgeon.
Dr. Hawasli is a great advocate of the Sleeve Gastrectomy. He has seen great success with these patients. He is very knowledgeable, kind, and caring.
VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE VERY PERSONABLE
MY OPINION HAS NOT CHANGED
THEY ARE VERY COURTIOUS AND HELPFUL ESPECIALLY HELPING GET APPOINTMENTS AS I COME FROM CANADA TO MICHIGAN
I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT DR. MARSHALL
HE IS VERY ABRUPT AND TO THE POINT
HIS WHOLE SURGICAL PROCEDURE IS BUILT AROUND AFTERCARE
YES IT'S ALL STRUCTURED AT HENRYFORD HOSPITAL
I WAS TOLD OF RISKS DURING ALL MY PRESURGERY INTERVIEWS.IWAS ALSO TOLD WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF PROBLEMS.
HIS SURGICAL COMPETENCE IS GREAT. DR. MARSHALL WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO GET ME OUT OF BED AND WALK ME AROUND THE HOSPITAL AFTER SURGERY.TO ME THIS SHOWS HOW MUCH HE CARES ABOUT MY RECOVERY
MINE WAS A VERY REWARDING EXPERIENCE.
I HAD MY 1 YEAR EVALUATION MARCH 15 2010 . EVERYTHING HAS GONE SO WELL , IT IS ALL BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS . I CAN'T THANK DR. MARSHALL AND HIS STAFF ENOUGH . THEY HAVE TRUELY HELPED ME SAVE MY LIFE .
I thought that Dr. Gluck was very helpful and concerned. He showed himself to be very friendly and listened patiently to my requests. I am very much looking forward to my big day.
12/1/04 I can really say that Dr. Gluck went the extra mile for me. He put his personal time on hold to make my dream come true. I am SO grateful to him. I totally trust him with this surgery. I feel that he is adequately equipped and knowledgeable and I am looking forward to my new life.

Dr Kerry Kole is performing my Roun-Y revision, due to weight gain.
The process has gone fairly smoothly thus far. The staff is very efficient and patient friendly.

I was nervous, honestly. I was used to seeing doctors who looked at me, frowned, and started on me about my weight. He was great. He wasn't judgmental and he was so nice. He was competent and helpful, and his team made me feel like I was a person and not some fat, gross creature. He was available all the time if I needed him, 24/7, and was patient with my questions. He was very thorough, and I felt calm putting my care in his hands. I honestly can't say enough good things about him. He was amazing. He is a fantastic choice for a surgeon and the staff at the Bariatric Center is phenomenal. This was my experience with him and his staff.
