I had my laproscopic Gastric bypass Surgery in June of 2008. This was my 9th surgery and the ony one where I experienced "NO PAIN". I immediately stopped snoring and I couldn't believe that I had even had surgery at first. Dr. Suh and his staff were very csring and professional. I lost a toltal of 120 s and I have been able to maintain this loss within a range of 10 pounds for the last four years. Thank You Dr. Suh, you changed my life!

Dr. Suh performed my RNY gastric bypass in April 2008. I am almost 4 years post op. Would I do it again? Yes, only with Dr. Suh as my surgeon! I have gone from 242 preop and am easily maintaining 140 by keeping up with high protein daily. Zero complications and zero regrets.

Dr. Suh and staff are very nice, my first impression was they are caring. I look forward to working with Him and his staff. I was given alot of helpful information about the classes and what I needed to do before and after my Surgery. I look forward to attending Dr. Suh support Group next month and every month after.

Dr Suh, his entire staff and ALL the nurses at Inland Valley Regional Medical Center, Bariatric center, are fantastic!! Dr Suh is a bit quiet, but friendly and approachable. He thoroughly goes over the process, the after life, etc. His seminar gave my fiance the opportunity to hear the pros and cons about the surgery and I believe Dr Suh is very realistic and passionate about helping people overcome obesity! He constantly talks about the life changes and it will not work if you don't make it work. He also promotes that if you can lose the weight on your own, without surgery, you should as there are always risks to surgery!
His entire staff has the utmost respect for him and I was told over and over again from the hospital staff that he is the best in the industry-many patients that didn't go through him end up coming to him for revisions due to issues from their previous dr.

He requires a seminar, a pre op class and a 2 hour support group (which I thought, OK, just need to get through 2 hours of this and be done). Each of these classes were beyond my expectations! They were so informative, entertaining and helpful to me and my fiance. THe support group ended up being fantastic and I have every intention of going back each month!

I honestly have NOTHING negative to say about any of his staff or my dr! He answered all my questions I had usually before I asked them. He is to the point, which I personally LOVE! I have called the office many times to "bug" them about the status of my surgery and they are always beyond professional and understanding to my excitement! They always ask how I'm doing, if I'm excited and to keep up the pre op program/diet and how I'm doing on that and to call if I need ANYTHING!
The nurses in the hospital were way beyond anything I'd ever expect! I've had 10 other surgeries to date and have dealt with many post op nurses in my life! There's always 1 thats rude, impatient, etc and there were NO NURSES like this at this hospital. They were all very supportive and thankful to ME for my pleasant demeanor, considering there's pain involved in surgery....can you believe they were thankful to ME??? I thanked them OFTEN for being so awesome and quick to respond to any of my needs...to walk down the halls with me numerous times and help me get up to use the restroom!

I HIGHLY recommend Dr Suh to anyone!! I've had 3 other friends that have had surgery with him and we all feel the same. If you follow his diet, pre op, and life changes with exercise and eating properly, you can't fail!!

Dr Suh is a good surgeon he works very hard and is concerned about his patients. He is straight forward not a lot of fluff if you have questions have them written down he will answer. Will go over your options for surgery I am 9 months post op have had a positive experience. He also offers once a month support groups in different areas which I would recommend taking the time to attend.

Dr. Suh has been very professional and skilled in my care. I can tell he really does care about his patients, and while he's extremely busy, he's a good listener if you are prepared when you go. My recovery has been fairly easy, and the pain was nearly gone within 3 weeks, which is amazing...I just didn't want to lean forward for a month or more though, since my RNY area was still tender. But the diabetes (Type II) was gone in a week, and the blood pressure really is improving all the time. My ankles don't swell nearly like they used to, and my stomach girth is so much smaller, I'm down about 3 sizes in 3 months. It's extremely important to follow the protocol. Dr. Suh is a very skilled and caring doctor--one I would definitely trust to do a wonderful job. I'm glad I chose him.

I am very happy with Dr. Suh's work. The surgery was well-explained, and the seminars were very helpful preoperatively. The surgery pain was definitely there, but the recovery was steady, albeit a little slow bec of my age (54). The energy level is increasing now that I am eating a little more. The food choices are expanding, but I am very careful to follow the protocol exactly. Dr. Suh has been very helpful and supportive, competent, and caring.
