Contributing sponsor since 2006!
"From the first minute of my consult with Dr. Doraiswamy I knew he was going to be my surgeon. He was very professional and attentive to my needs. When I told him I was interested in the Sleeve he asked me questions about the procedure making sure I knew what I was getting into. Once our consult was over we both agreed that the Sleeve would be the best option for me. All in all he's an amazing and caring surgeon. I wouldn't have chosen anyone else to go through this journey with. If you are in Southern California and searching for a Bariatric surgeon who is excellent and caring you've found him." -KikiRox85

"Doctor LaMar was wonderful, he is very informative and certainly has a wonderful track record. After meeting him I knew he was the one to perform my surgery. He just has a way of making you feel comfortable and I have all the confidence in the world with him and his staff. I would surely recommend him to friends and anyone else just checking for a doctor. The other members in his office are equally great and have a lot of experience in this field. I am very excited and anxious to have my surgery. He has a wonderful smile and great bedside manners."-Lori W.

Contributing sponsor since 2006!
"Dr. Pehrsson is an amazing surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. He spends a good amount of time in visits and answers any questions you might have in a very friendly manor. The office staff is wonderful and extremely helpful. They are extremely busy so some patience must be used when trying to get call backs. Aftercare is extremely emphasized and going to group support is strongly recommended. Aftercare usually entails followup visits and you can call the nurse at anytime for individual questions. I would definitely recommend Dr. Pehrsson to anybody seeking a surgeon. He is a very competent doctor."-William J.

Contributing sponsor since 2005!
"Dr. Federo was the nicest most invested dr. I have ever worked with. He went above and beyond with his time and dedication. I had two previous consultations and he was the only one that made me feel comfortable and optomistic about the results. I had a lower body lift, in addition to liposuction, which was major surgery, almost 7 hours in the operating room. My surgery was December 22, 2011 and Dr. Federo was, and continues to be available 24 hours a day, including Christmas. After almost 7 weeks I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Federo understands patients who have had bariatric surgery and has made it a major part of his practice. He takes pride in his work and enjoys seeing how it changes lives. I highly recommend him as a surgeon and as a person."-Eps36

Contributing sponsor since 1998!
"I can't say enough about Dr. Sapala and his office staff. The amount of professionalism, compassion, and empathy they gave has exceeded my expectations. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and caring. Dr. Sapala took his time explaining his treatment plan for me as well as his staff. Dr. Sapala went over step by step what he would do in surgery. I have to say by far this is the MOST PROFESSIONAL practice I have ever been to and I highly recommend to anyone who is seeking bariatric surgery to contact him. I feel confident and educated about having my surgical procedure."-Bcalonen716

Contributing sponsor since 2009!
"I have never seen a doctor that made me feel so comfortable until I met Dr. Dasher. He has a bed side manner that allows patients to feel comfortable in discussing questions that may seem minor as well as discussing major concerns. Dr. Dasher is a very knowledgeable and professional surgeon. I am very fortunate to have had him perform my surgery."-DRob925
