North Valley Surgical Associates Bariatric Center

I was first attracted to the Live Light Center in Biloxi because I knew someone who had the surgery there and was very pleased. I made an appointment and was not disappointed. Dr. Ludwig is kind, professional and caring. He had done many gastric by-passes before coming to Biloxi, but I was impressed that he had been a laparoscopic surgeon for many years. I wanted laparoscopic by-pass surgery instead of open surgery and wanted a "master" at the job.

He's the greatest as far as I'm concerned. I went in for surgery on 12 Jul and came home on 14 Jul. I've been walking (as prescribed) and have to admit, feel pretty good. Dr Ludwig addressed every issue I can think of and I would definitely rate him a 10 out of 10. He is an amazing combination of surgical competence and a caring physician! I now have hope for the first time in many, many years!

Dr. Simchuck is so comfortable and instantly puts you at ease. He's very polite and respectful. I was instantly relaxed. He spoke of coaching his daughter's little league team and since I have an 8yo daughter, we hit it off.

I asked some hard questions during my first appointment and his knowledge and excellent answers let me know I had no worries with him. I am very happy I had the surgery and even more happy knowing I have a very capable and thorough surgeon who's very helpful during my follow up appointments.

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Simchuck!
