TriHealth Weight Management Bariatric Center

My first impression of Dr. Kerlakian was this is a doctor who knows what he's doing. He explained everything to me pros and cons and he made me feel like I was in good hands. I had other friends who had the same surgery that Dr. Kerlakian did and they love him and recommend I pick him to do my surgery. The office staff was very nice and caring before and after surgery. The post care program is great, they don't just leave you after surgery, they keep you on track for success.

I've only seen Dr. Tymitz for a consult thus far, but I'm thoroughly impressed by him. He spent close to 90 minutes with me and my husband going over all the surgery options in great detail. He answered all my questions and asked me the right questions as well.

I'll update this review as my process continues.

My first impression of Dr. Kerlackian was that you didn't have to persuade him you needed the surgery but that he already knew that it was your last option to save your life. My impression is still the same.The office staff has the attitidude also that they totally understand that this is your last options. They are conforting and really nice. The entire staff strictly enhancing and encourage aftercare. Risks were address seriously. I would rate Dr. Kerlackian has very compentant to do this surgery. Both the sompentencing and beside manner are important to me.

My first impression of Dr. Kerlakian was that he honestly cares about his patient's and what he does for them. He listened to all my fears and anxiety and answered all my questions.
Dr. Kerlakian and his nurse both went over the risks and complications thoroughly. His program stresses the importance of support and compliance after the surgery.
The Bariatric Team are friendly knowledgeable and have an "open door policy".

I liked everyone.

Dr Kerlakian is an awesome doctor!!! I have som much faith and trust in him Im not even that nervous about my surgery. His office staff is so friendly and compassionate. Everyone does a great job of letting you know that their there for youI would definatly reccommend any one to go through this life changing process with Dr Kerlakian.

Located in Cincinnati and affiliated with GHA and Good Sam hospital. Very professional, knowledgable, great bedside manner, & staff is top-notch! Would recommend them to anyone considering Lap-Band. Accessible via phone consult or in house appt in a very timely manner. Extremely knowledgable and hands-on staff - I attended 8 pre-surgery staff meetings and met one on one with them, including Dr. Kerlakian. Dr. Kerlakian also met with my husband to explain pre and post op surgery and answered any questions my husband had. Dr. Kerlakian wants to make sure that your family and spouse have your complete support. On a scale of 1 - 10, Dr. Kerlakian and his staff are a 15 !! Honestly. I recently had my gall bladder removed 24 months post op Lap-Band, and this surgery recovery period was like the Lap-Band, approx. 3-5 days for me!!! Very Structured pre-surgery and post-surgical care.

knew him from past esperiences. one of if not the best surgeon/bariatric surgeon in the field. very knowlegable and always learning to improve his technique, leasves minor scars after surgery. His staff is extremely good. They love him and do thei job with the utmost professionalism. And I am not just saying this; I believe everything I am writing with every fiber of my being. Stress aftercare to the utmost. the aftercare program is very explicit. he tells you all the risks before, during and post surgery; Overall. on a 1 - 10 he and his entire staff are 10!!! Surgical competence is tantamount; bedside manners are a plus, He and his staff have both. Nothing negative to say

I have loved my 3 month program with Dr. Kerlakian's staff. Especially Tracy, the exercise therapist. She has been an incredible support.

Dr. Kerlakian is super, very caring and easy to talk to. I am blessed to have had him preform my surgery. I'd reccomend him to everyone!
