Tower Health Medical Group Weight Loss Surgery and Wellness Center Bariatric Center

I was impressed by Dr. Meilahn and his staff right from the beginning. Although, I was concerned about his bedside manner. He definitely is down to business, but right after
surgery his true colors came out. He was great!

He is very strict on aftercare, which is a very good thing. Overall, I would rate him as great!!

Dr Myers is great. In the hospital before my surgery all the staff kept saying how he is thorough and saves them lots of paperwork. I just really like his entire staff. Always ready to answer any questions and do whatever they can to help you on this journey

He is amazing, he did not do my original surgery but he corrected the issues I did have from the original surgery. He tells me what he thinks and does not surgar coat anything. HE IS AMAZING

What a wonderful experience. Dr. Tichansky and his staff are so thorough. They completely prepared me for my expereince. They were able to get me from initial appointment to surgery in 3 months!!! I wish I could sing Dr. Tchansky's praises forever. He is so diligent and attentive. He, his NP and Dietician are so prepared and willing to answer any and all questions. They do not act like the patient is an annoyance, rather they treat you like you are the only patient and constantly ask if you have any more questions. I usually hate to wiat in a doctor's office, but it is easy with Dr. Tichansky because I know that he is giving another patient the same care I will be receiveing once they are in your room.

I was very impressed by Dr. Stephan Myers when I attended my seminar he was there and greeted everyone who attended the seminar. I thought that was very nice of the Dr to take time out of his busy schedule to actually attend the seminar. His office staff are very helpful and I never feel like a burden when I call them with a problem or question. Dr Myers and his staff have a very professional bed side mannor. He expalins everything to you before you have the surgery. I am very happy with my Dr and his staff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking into having WLS.

Everyone on the staff is very passionate about weight loss surgery. I have been working with the dietitians in the program for the last 6 months as a requirement for my insurance approval and everyone has been extremely helpful.

My one concern during the 6 month prep was the number of nutritionists I worked with, 5 total, each one seemed to have a different area to stress so that was a bit challenging.

My other challenge was my vegetarian diet, none of the foods provided in the pre-surgery diet meet my needs, almost all contain gelatin. It has been a bit challenging working to figure out what my plan will be since I am "out of the box" for their normal program. I am still shocked that I am the only vegetarian they have encountered in all their surgeries.

I can't say enough about the excellent level of care and compassion that Dr Myers has given before, during and after surgery. I would recomend him highly to anyone wanting surgery. The Fresh Starts Bariatric program that he has created is well thought out and planned. I am 6 months out and very happy.

FreshStart Bariatrica at Riverside Methodist Hospital. Surgeon has office in Mansfield also. I have gone to seminar and had an informational meeting with Annie. Put $250 down. Have BC/BS FEP insurance. Total out of pocket will be just under $3000. They move fast. Info seminar on 2/14, fact and info meeting today 2/26, sceduled for day long appointment on 3/5. Day long includes physical, psych eval, dietition too. They seem to have this down to a very organized process. Everyone has been very professional and nice. Surgery on 7/20/2009 Went well. Recovery was quick and back to work in less than 3 weeks. I had excellent care from Freshstart Bariatrics , Dr. Myers and his staff. Did not go to Health Center for exercise (too far) so I got a $500 refund for that. The experience and professionalism of everyone was amazing. They have this down!

My first impression of the office was kinda no - nonsense. Here is the seminar here is the information, which i enjoyed. The staff was very knowledgeable about what i need to do for insurance. Dr. T was very calming person with great energy and seems medically cautious (GREAT). I have never felt like he was in a rush, or he was not interested in what I was saying. His staff also has been easy to talk to and informative. He was very upfront about surgery risks and amount of weight that I could expect to loose. If I had to say something negative it would be I dont love the office. Very busy office with multiple doctors, and seems like a bus station at times, and the receptionist you have to leave a message and she then has to call you back, she never seems to answer the phone, which is frustrating in the early pre-surgery days. Now I call the nurse practitioner with any medical concerns, she sometimes answers or promptly calls back. Overall I love the dr and his staff I would recommend to anyone.

I first met Dr. Myers in June of 2009 when I attended a WLS seminar at Riverside Hospital. I was very impressed by Dr. Myers' presentation and compassion for overweight adults. I also appreciated that he stayed after the meeting to answer all of my questions.
