AMAZING surgeon!!

So far...my experience with my surgeon has his staff has been very positive. They have been very professional, attentative, freindly and caring. They definately discussed in great detail my surgical options and what each entails pre & post operative. The support group has been wonderful.

Dr. Pesta is very professional, clean and very well dressed. First Impressions are everything, but I soon came to realize that Dr. Pesta is very knowlegeable. The office staff was always very helpful, Sally and L'nora always made you feel like you were a VIP. The aftercare program is a once a week support group meeting, although I live in canada and can't get to the states every week for that. Henry ford Mcomb hospital has informational seminars frequently in london ontario, explaining the surgery its risks and complications and it;s benifits. I would rate Dr.Pesta and the girls a 9 out of 10, one point down from perfect, as it would be nice to have a once a month educational meeting here in ontario given by them, and also it would be nice if the Dr. would come to canada once a week/mo. to make it easier for us to get to him. Otherwise, there is nothing bad or dissapointing about this hospital or it's staff! GOOD JOB

Dr. Pesta is an amazing surgeon. He has great bedside manner. He is very knowledgable and extremely helpful. Dr. Pesta has a great sense of humor and has a very caring personality. As I waited in pre-op I was very nervous, and Dr. Pesta came in and he was able to calm me down. He is very confident and it showed right through. I knew I was in good hands. I even had to page him once I was home and he called me back within 5 minutes. Even at the follow up appointments with him he makes sure you are taken care of and he makes you feel important. I would recommend him to anyone and have done so already! His office staff is very helpful as well. They go out of their way to accomodate you. Dr. Pesta changed my life for the better. Thank you Dr. Pesta!

my first impression of Dr Pesta was how kind and compassionate He seems to be... ive only met him once so far but was a memorable meeting as i felt he really cared for me and was compassionate or understanding of my fears and anxieties --- at the end of the appointment he gave me a surgery date :)

Dr. Boutt made a very good impression on me and I felt totally comfortable with him. He is personable and friendly and took the time to go over things at great length to make sure I understood everything. I would not hesitate to recommend him to family or friend. I have not been back for a fill yet since I am barely 4 weeks post surgery, but hope the same will continue to apply in the normal office setting.

I worked at Henry Ford Warren Campus for twenty years when it was Bi-County Hospital. I still keep in touch with friends that work there and only heard great things about Dr. Pesta. So, when it was time to make my decision to have weight loss surgery...Dr. Pesta was my choice and a good one I might add. Even though I am only 10 days post op, I feel like a different person. Dr. Pesta's office staff are professional and friendly. I am very happy with my choice of a great surgeon.

Dr.Boutt put me at ease immediately. He has continued to be kind,compassionate and support during my journey. Many times he has been very helpful in my decisions concerning my treatment and helping answer any questions I have.rnrnI would recommend him highly to anyone considering weight loss surgery.

Confident, caring, knowledgeable, willing to give time to answer any questions. Continues to be the same after surgery. Office staff always willing to assist - get back with answers. Aftercare is highly stressed. 12 week program - support group and then monthly groups after that. Overall very comfortable with care from surgeon and his staff. Hosptal staff were very professonal and took great care of my needs while there.
