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.

I consider myself so lucky that I found Dr. Katz. He was so amazing after my surgery and called me every day. When I was having issues, he went above and beyond to try and figure out the problem, always called me at home. You could truly tell how concerned he was that I wasn't feeling great. And once I was, you could see the excitement in him. The office staff is just as amazing. everyone will develop a personal relationship with you, and it makes the whole process so much easier. Amazing surgeon, amazing staff, and amazing program!

Wonderful doctor, wonderful office staff. Called me so far everyday at home to check on me and listens to my needs. Called in meds no problem. Just a blessing to have him for my surgeon!

I've heard nothing but great things regarding Dr. Hawasli. My GP (Dr. Nancy Ajemian) says he is great. Seems gentle, caring and very experienced.

I wanted the Sleeve, but wasn't approved through insurance -- not a recognized procedure yet.

Getting the Lap Band. Dr. Hawasli doesn't believe in the full WLS, believes it is treating discease with discease.

The office staff has been so supportive and moved quickly once I finished my insurance requirements. My daughter also had Dr Katz for her RNY over a year ago and her after care has been excellent.rnSince my surgery, Dr Katz has called me twice a day to check on my progress. He treats his patients like you are family. He is very thourough and attentive. I am so impressed with my care.

When I first met Dr. Hawasli, my first impression of him was; I knew he was the one. I looked in to his eyes and saw peace, assurance and safety. And even to this day, I still feel the same. After speaking with him during one of the seminars, I knew he was the doctor for me. The office staff has been so pleasant and informative. Dr. Hawasli stressed the importance of changing my lifestyle to get healthier. I will be his patient for the next three years for after care. He informed me of the risks for having Lap Band surgery and I was also given written materials to read and study. I think that Dr. Hawasli is a very fine doctor. I would rate him high.

My first impression of my Dr was that he was very skilled and knowledgable and knew how to convey that. He also made sure that he imparted his patients, my sister and I, with enough information to make us feel very comfortable with our choice to use him as our surgeon. After my surgery he impressed me even more. He called me several times at home to make sure I was okay. Scolded me (very nicely) when had a common complication and I hesitated to call him because it was too early on a Sunday morning. When I did call around 9am he had just left the hospital but jumped right into action. Was always familiar with my condition and where I was at. When my sister had her surgery a few months after mine, she had a far less common complication but he was very diligent in finding out what was going on a took prompt and proper care of her. When we again had to call him at an odd hour you could hear faintly in the background that he was probably having family time (kids giggling). He beat us to the hospital. He also consulted on a patient that was next to my sister in the ER on his off day. He was always EXTREMELY caring, kind, and just WOW on the bedside manner....AWESOME!!!!!!!!I have nothing negative to say about him or his staff...they were amazing. His surgical competence and bedside manner were both remarkable. My sisters' and I are grateful for the care we received and all I can say is he is EXCELLENT as for the Center of Excellence that he is part of. St John Health System, Oakland Hospital. Where they exemplify having \"A Passion for Healing.\"

He's pretty quiet but Dr. Katz seems to know what he's doing. I LOVE his office staff and I have the most patient insurance coordinator ever assigned to work with me. SO far I would recommend him, and I feel comfortable with him performing the surgery.

I chose Dr. Hawasli because of his credentials. I am acquainted with his skills having worked with him during his general surgery residency in the early 1980s. I'd moved from the area in 1989 and only recently learned that he'd become a pioneer and recognized leader in the field of laporoscopic bariatric and general surgery. I live nearly two hours from the location of his practice, but I wasn't dissuaded by the distance to place my welfare in his capable hands. Besides, despite his apparent fame, he's the same humble, kind and dedicated man I worked with more than 20 years ago.

my first impression of dr katz was he is very quite until he gets to know you. He is very caring and really into helping people with this. His staff is very friendly and informtive about there area in the proceedure of each step that you need to take. He imformes you about all the pluses and minus of the surgery and also talks to you about other surgery that might be better for you but he lets you decide. he does have a aftercare program and goes over that information with you but you need to be willing do what you need to do for this surgery to work and you to be happier and healthy. thats the biggest goal
