This Dr. is the most wonderful man I have ever met. So caring, concerned about not just my physical health but mental adjustment to surgery. I would HIGHLY recommend him and his associates. True professionals who care.

Dr. Trivedi and his associates are THE BEST in their field in my opinion. Very low complication rate and very concerned about their patients. Even their "Fellows"(residents/interns) are great. I drove 2 hrs. to get to his office and the hospital. The office is very busy, efficient and caring. He is as concerned about your aftercare as he is in the pre-op period. He has structured support groups monthly free of charge. I would rate him as excellent. His competence is equally as great as his bedside manner.

Dr. Ewing has incredible credentials which is what led me to select him over the other Dr.'s in the group. He's quite a smart fellow and a very skilled surgeon. I unexpectedly ran into a friend of mine while awaiting surgery who is a nurse in the bariatric surgical waiting area. She confirmed that he has an excellent reputation. He performed my surgery on 6/28 and I was very satisfied with the entire experience. His cool,
professional,detached scientist's demeanor somehow inspires confidence and is rassuring. I highly recommend him and the group in general. A great all encompassing program with a caring and effective team at all levels.

Love, love, love Dr. Schmidt. From the first time he spoke at one of the seminars, my husband and I decided that we would like Dr. Schmidt to perform my surgery. He has the patience like no other Dr. I know. I changed my decision on what type of surgery I wanted. Dr. Schmidt called me to review all our options again. He never rushed me off the phone or in our office visits. He truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend him to anyone thinking about weight lose surgery. I recently had my 1 month check up, and a few issues. Dr. Schmidt listen to my questions and concerns. Never once did he rush to the door, he took his time with me.
Thank You Dr. Schmidt

I had VSG surgery with Dr Ewing on Jan 10 2012. I waited a few weeks to post a review because I was waiting for something to go wrong. Much to my delight and surprise everything has gone amazingly well. Dr Ewing presented himself very well at the initial seminar with the other doctors from his group. I chose him because of his personality and attention to detail. In the hospital prior to surgery he was very understanding to my nervousness and kept me calm prior to surgery. After surgery he was very through and explained how the entire procedure to my husband and even contacted my primay doctor to inform him of the surgical outcome. Overall I have had nothing but a positive experience with Dr Ewing and his entire office staff.

During my first experience with Dr. Ewing, I was quite impressed with his impeccable rate of professionalism. He explained each option/procedure in great detail and answered my questions. I found him to have a positive attitude and overall great outlook. I felt extremely comfortable with him from the start. He explained everything in detail, and let me know what to expect and during the explanation he reviewed the risks of the procedures as well. I feel that Dr Ewing is the complete package when it comes to a bariatric surgeon. He is confident, personable, and knowledgeable, possesses great bedside manner and has the best attitude and is very friendly. The day of surgery I had the opportunity to speak with him before and after the procedure. At this time my family met him for the first time and they were extremely pleased and impressed overall. The office staff is just as great. They are friendly, patient, considerate and very empathetic. I have already recommended Dr Ewing to a few people who were interested in surgery. I couldn’t ask for a better Surgeon and Team! From the first office visit going forward, he made me feel comfortable. I didn’t expect to be this satisfied- this stellar service blew me away!!!

I'm a week out from the VSG (sleeve) and what I can tell you is that Dr. Trivedi is an expert surgeon.

I'm not the smallest patient to walk into his office, but I can tell you that I walked out of the hospital with more pain in a glute muscle (from the actual operating table) and the IV needle in my hand than from the actual surgery. I have had small issues since, but no major gas issues, no reflux or nausea as well.

Again, I'm just a week in, but close to 30 lbs lighter already. Based on the actual surgery, the office staff (helping us get approved), and the immediate after-care, I would strongly recommend Dr. Amit Trivedi.
