Prime Surgicare Bariatric Center
Both the doctor and his staff are very friendly and knowledgable. I was nervous and was quickly feeling relaxed in my choice of practices. The before and after care as well as the continuing dietary education has been very helpful. I would recommend Dr. Sowemimo to anyone interested in bariatric surgery.
I had the best experience with my surgeon & his team, he reassured me when I was feeling a little nervous,great bedside manner. My surgery was awesome, I had little discomfort and was up and on my feet in no time. He did a great job! I would recommend him and I am very happy that I chose him.
I was nervous and doing research and thankfully a friend referred me to Dr. Sowemimo. I had tons of questions and he let me ask all of them and let me decide what surgery was best for me while giving me sound advice. He didn't look at me like I was crazy because at 5'10 I was heavy but didn't appear like other patients. We talked about my goals and what I wanted to accomplish in my weight loss journey. On the day of surgery, I had butterflies in my stomach and he made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He assured me that I would be up and walking in the first 24hrs after the surgery and I thought he was joking, but sure enough, after speaking to my family and then seeing me in my room, within hours, I was up and walking in the hallway. I was discharged early that morning and he said that I could go home when I was ready...and that's how my journey started. He assured my family that I did great and he repaired a hernia...he checked my incisions and asked about my pain. 3mo later I am 51lbs down. I have always enjoyed working out so that was the easy part, but the food/eating was hard. Dr. Sowemimo was the catalyst to help me feel like I finally have this food/weight issue under control and it's not controlling me. The ladies at the desk answered all my questions and are always helpful and even when I had some odd feelings, Dr. Sowemimo called me at home at 7pm to answer my questions. I have told everyone about my experience with Dr. Sowemimo and would do it all again.
Dr. Sowemimo is certainly my hero! He not only performed gastric by-pass on me, he had the pleasure of repairing 2 hernias, fixing a twisted bowel and removed a lot of scar tissue as a result of a previous surgery. His soothing, laid-back demeanor helped me in my moment of depair. My pain has really been minimal considering the additional work performed. I would highly recommend Dr. Sowemimo to my friends/family/co-workers for their bariatric needs.

I tried many things before this surgery to help me lose wieght but really they were making me gain the weight.This surgery this is the best thing thing to do. This doctor is great
In September of 2011 I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy performed by Dr. Sowemimo. I feel so fortunate to have had "Dr. Seun" as my surgeon. His level of skill, sense of humor and caring manner make him such an excellent surgeon. I have lost over 90lbs and feel great physically and emotionally. Needless to say, this surgery has been life altering for me!
Dr. Seun is very good - a real person- caring and attentive--this is the best decision i ever made! so happy losing weight- and the surgery was not a bad experience at all. i had the gastric sleeve and it reduced my diabetes meds from 4 pills a day to 1 pill or none and no more high blood pressure meds- this is lifesaving - thank you Dr. Seun-
I wish I had done this surgery 10 years ago. The experience was nothing but positive. Dr. Sowemimo and Julie Parrot supported me emotionally all the way. I knew what I was getting into and was really surprised at how quickly I recovered.
It has been 6 months and I have gone from 233 to 189 to date.
Dr. Seun was available by phone when I had a concern while in California and resolved it immediately. I was very relieved to know I could get help when I needed it, even when in another state.
I strongly recommend Dr. Seun. He is professional, caring, and accessible. His staff is upbeat and enjoyable to work with.
The Dr. is very personable, I feel very comfortable talking to the Dr. he answers all my questions. The Office Staff is great, very friendly and welcoming. I recommend the Dr. to all. He explained to me step by step everything I would be going through. Always there to answer any questions. He has wonderful bedside manners along with wonderful surgical competence. Overall I have nothing negative to say about my overall experience.
