WakeMed Bariatric Surgery & Medical Weight Loss Bariatric Center

Excellent experience with Dr Bovard and his team! Caring and compassionate and honest- I would highly recommend!

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Bovard and his team. From start to finish the process went very smoothly. He has wonderful bedside manner and is willing to answer ALL your questions. Surgery went as planned. I have had ZERO issues or regrets (other than having waited to have it done). Post-op follow up and support has been incredible. I am so happy having made the decision to have VSG. Thank you Dr. Bovard and team for giving me a new lease on life!!!!

Dr Scott Bovard is an excellent bariatric surgeon. He cares about his patient's success. Dr Bovard thoroughly explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. My family & I trust Dr Bovard. He was the surgeon for my son who had a successful sleeve surgery, then my husband had sleeve surgery after him, then my middle daughter had sleeve surgery after him, followed by my oldest daughter having gastric bypass surgery. I was the last one in the family to have gastric bypass surgery. I was their biggest supporter and after going to visits with them to Dr Bovard decided to help myself. I will never regret doing it. I am forever grateful to Dr Bovard in mine & my family's journey.

Dr. Bovard is a LIFE SAVER to me for sure! I am so grateful for the help and the jump start he provided me. He's taught me so much about changing my life style and attitude about food. This has been an amazing journey and it really works when you follow his instructions!!! So far, I've lost 90 lbs since surgery July 2019. I am energized and now I can walk/run 4 to 6 miles a day and exercise on a daily basis!! I am NO LONGER Diabetic and my blood pressure is normal!! I am so delighted that I get to stay with Dr. Bovard and his team for 5 years post surgery!! Thank you Dr. Bovard, you changed my life!!!

I will honestly say that I feel Dr. Bovard has saved my life from obesity. I had the sleeve procedure preformed on 03/22/2019 and the pounds are just coming off even after a year since surgery!!!! I've lost over 100 pounds!!!! I am very more active now I work out 3 times a week, I enjoy life, I am so much happier and I am just excited for this journey. I now know and understand through this process how to love oneself! Thank you Dr. Bovard and the office staff. You guys are great and I really appreciate all that you've done for me. Since having the surgery, I am PROUD to say that I am NO LONGER A DIABETIC!!!!! YAY!!!!! I am so excited for my new Journey in this life of being fit, healthy and no more being obese. Just to be able to sit comfortable in a plane .....with room was worth the journey. Yes,. It's the little things in life and I just LOVE Dr. Bovard. He's the best. Honestly.....don't settle for nothing less. Don't take my word for it.....I have physical proof that this doctor loves his patients and will encourage you along the way. In one word .........AWESOME!!!!! Wish you were my PCP that way I could see you more often. LOL. Thank you again Doctor Scott Bovard!!!! You are a God sent!!!

Dr. Bovard came highly recommended for bariatric surgery and after working with him I know why. He and his staff were always professional and on time. He explained all procedures in a way I could understand. I never felt rushed during our appointments and by the time I went in for the bariatric surgery all my fears and anxiety were gone. I could never thank him enough for the surgery, support and encouragement on this journey.

I absolutely love Dr. Bovard and I am so grateful to have him in my corner throughout this journey. I am currently 4 weeks post op, and feeling incredibly confident and capable. He and his team ensured that I had all the tools I needed to be successful after surgery. I feel more in control of my body and mind than ever. I am being mindful about the things I eat and what I do for my body. Food used to control me, and now it is simply a means to fuel my body- not an emotionally charged toxic dependency. He is very straightforward and will call it like it is, while still being compassionate and trustworthy. I am so grateful for how much my life has changed already, and I can't wait to see all the exciting things to follow, with him and his team by my side.

Dr. Bovard is the best in hid field. There is no one that I trust as a physician more than him.

He has the excellence, the know how, the expertises, and the determination to help you, and me get on the right path for a better life style, and weight lost goals. I’ve recommended him to friends, family, and work colleagues.

Dr. Bovard is top notch. From the moment he walked in to my initial consultation, I knew he was the doctor for me. He has an awesome bedside manner and very trustworthy and honest. I had surgery with him about 14 months ago - and with his expertise, support, and guidance...I am down 125 pounds! I love my follow-ups with him, probably the only time I ever look forward to going to the doctor.

Thanks Dr. B!
