The Center for Obesity Surgery and Treatment Bariatric Center

Dr Hipp has been a Godsend. He exhibited extensive knowledge of the surgery and was supportive of my decision to choose RNY over lap-band. He's very easy to talk with, and has a gentle touch. I felt very comfortable with him, and enjoy his dry sense of humor as well.

Dr Hipp gave me the first impression of being a total professional. The office staff are top notch also.

I am very happy with Dr. Hipp. My experience has been great. I would highly recommend him as a surgeon.

I was referred to Dr. Hipp by my previous surgeon, Dr. Brian Pickins, so I figured I would like him right of the bat. I was very happy with the information provided from the initial contact and through out the process. Shirley at Dr. Hipps office and Jody and Luann at the Center for Obesity are very knowledgable and helpful. I can't imagine a better experience.

'I was very pleased with Dr. Sarantos. He is very personable

thought he was very nice and cute. My impression has not changed although he did'nt sit on my bed like he did my girlfriends. the staff is very friendly and answer all questions you ask with a smile.There is nothing i didn't like about him.He talks to you as if you are his only patient, he makes you feel very comfortable and special.he repeats himeself often if you are nor following the rules, it's for your best interest.I think he is very structured and tells you like it is.He was very up front with me ,telling me if I'm not comitted to this then don't have it done.I recommend him to anyone looking for a devoted doctor. surical competence is most important

DR Sarantos is very caring, he makes you feel comfortable and is very attentive.
His staff is very helpfull and his assistant couldnt be any nicer, she is very knowledgable and makes you feel at ease through the entire process.
Aftercare is a HUGE part of having the surgery and they follow your progress for 18 months post-op as well as seeing a nutritionist in the same office at each visit. I have absolutly NO dislikes or "I wish I had's" about choosing this sergon, and his staff. I was called daily for a week to be checked on when I came home from the hospital. They were with me every step of the way.

He seems real nice and very informative. His staff is very helpfuland friendly. The support group is great. Aftercare is very important and to follow up for 18 months.

After having surgrey and doing 2 week check-up, I feel that I picked the best Dr in the world. After speaking with several people and having a few visits with Dr. Sarantos I feel he has a great up beat personallity and he listens. That is very important.
The office staff is nice also

I thought he was a very nice man. Very informative and took time to understand my needs and what I was looking for. He covered all aspects of the surgery. Covered all the risks to problems it could cause with relationships. His staff was very nice never had a problem working with them. The only thing I can honestly say I did not like was the office appearance. Small not very updated. Not much room for all patients to sit. Chairs not very accomadating for MO people. For the money they make, a couple things could have been changed to make us patients more at home. Plants would have been nice. He has a 18 mth aftercare plan with his patients for follow up. He is overall has a great bedside manner and I feel completely confident in his surgical skills. He does mostly wls. Over 400 wls a in a year roughly. (Includes all doctors in practice)No doubt in my mind that he is a great surgeon. Did I mention on top of everything he is also cute.

First impression of Dr. Sarantos was he knew what he was talking about plus very cute.
The next visit was very good he re-ensured me that everything would be fine and he was right.
His staff was very nice. There was nothing i did not like about Dr. Sarantos. That he really does care. After care is very important to him you must follow the diet the give you, he did his part now it is up to you to do yours. They have an 18 month program after surgery. He went over the risk with me and my husband the number 1 risk after surgery is blood clots you must get up and get moving after surgery that same day.
I would rate Dr. Sarantos 100% overall he is great. Surgical competence & bedside manner were both great.
