Kent Sasse & Surgical Associates Bariatric Center

I was a self pay and I chose Dr Sasse to perform VSG. Im happy I went with him I felt that he was the best surgeon. I meet with him 2 times before surgery and never saw him again.

I read in another post the raves about the staff. I have One BIG issue there is NO dietitian or Nutritionist. The" teacher"who also is the appointment setter who "taught" the nutrition classes read word for word a black and white copy that we all had. She was no help at all on for questions or concerns. This now post opt is a major red flag to me. A weight loss center that doesn't have a staff dietitian/nut is a major concern. Post opt I really could have used the guidance. I did go to 3 support groups. All headed by a sweet older lady with a very small group 4 people.
Post care was 2 appointments with 2 different PA,s. We went over lab tests and both told me to see my Primary Care Physician for Med adjustments and follow up. This is what I got for $13,800 plus $1000 for labs. No mention of coming back or any other labs.
I really wished that I had researched going to Mexico pre opt. I feel that I would have basically got the same package...Surgery

Making the decision to have gastric sleeve surgery was the 2nd best decision I have ever made. Selecting Dr Sasse to be my doctor was the best decision. The warmth and kindness he and his staff exude started with the seminar and has followed through to my post-op appointments. Anytime I have had any concerns the staff has been prompt in answering my questions and correcting any issue I may have had. Thank you all for your expertise and support.

I attended a seminar on Weight Loss Surgery given by Dr. Sasse in March of 2013. He was very knowledgeable and answered a lot of questions that I had about the specific types of Bariatric Surgery. In January 2014 I made an appointment to start Dr. Sasse's Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program, iMetabolic. I was a little apprehensive and unsure of what to expect but my worries were for nothing. Dr. Sasse's staff are knowledgeable, helpful, and very empathetic to people who are suffering from the disease of obesity. I started the iMetabolic program and was also able to schedule my Gastric Sleeve Surgery for just 5 weeks later. I really feel that Dr. Sasse and his staff have become a support system that have ensured my continued success. At just 4 months post op I have already lost 50% of my excess weight. Every follow up visit has been a pleasure, the staff are genuinely interested in my journey and are excited by the progress I've made. I highly recommend Dr. Sasse and his team!

Dr Sasse is a wonderful surgeon but better yet, a human and kind one, I needed a surgery done in urgency, he had to leave town, I was in ER crying in pain, at 4AM on his way to the airport to catch a plane to a conference, this angle shows up in his suit and with his truly....smiles and tells me, "Sharon, I am here, dont worry, see you when you wake up.." , knowing he did this for me was fantastic!

I continue my success due to the continued compassion, expertise, and teamwork from Sasse Surgical Associates. They have an excellent Surgeon, Physician Assistants, Psychologist, Dietician, Nursing staff, Health Coach, and spectacular Medical Team. Their genuine empathy allows me to succeed. The specialty Bariatric Vitamins, Food, and Support groups are an added bonus.

Dr. Sasse did a great job of resolving my issues. His staff is warm and friendly and I would definitely recommend him to anyone requiring his care.

Dr. Sasse was very professional and took care of all the medical condition I was experiencing at that time. His office staff were very nice and I will definitely return if I require any future assistance.

Dr. Sasse's kindness, compassion, and patience is only equalled by his excellent skill and care as a surgeon. He never rushes me, I have never felt unsafe in his care. Thanks Doc!

Dr Sasse and his assistants have literally saved my life..I had gastric bypass surgery in November of 2011 and haven't looked back since. It has takenb alot of work and dedication on my part to make the surgery a success but they were with me every step of the way. Theyhave always checked into any problem I have had, making sure they were not any serious health issues. My blood sugar and cholesterol are both normal and I feel healthier than I have ever felt before..Thanks to all of you!!

Dr. Sasse is a wonderful doctor. The thing that impressed me about him is that he never rushed me out of the room on my initial consultation with him. He sat there and let me ask my questions and he answered them and addressed my concerns. The day of my surgery, I was very scared, but he once again addressed my issues and made me feel completely at ease. He is the kind of doctor who truly wants to help his patients achieve their weight loss goals and takes the time to make them feel like his priority. I highly recommend him to anyone.
