Anuj Prashar Bariatric Surgeon
Dr.Prashar has been amazing since the very first meeting. He is supportive and encouraging. His office staff is always nice. He addressed all aspects of the surgery and gave me lots of opportunity to ask questions. The hospital staff went above and beyond after my surgery during my 3 day stay. If I had to do this again it is Dr. Prashar I would want to do my surgery. I am 2 months out and have lost a total of 42 pounds to this point.
Dr Prashar is a very personable Doctor. He cares very much for his patients and is very contiencious. He went above and beyond during my gall bladder removal surgery 6 weeks after my gastric bypass surgery. I would recommend him to one and all as both a Weight Loss Surgeon and a General Surgeon. He is a joy to visit.
I was recommended to The Weight Loss Center by several colleagues and friends. I first met with Dr. Prashar a year ago which I was nervous & he assured me that I was in good hands. We went over all procedures and risks, I had already knew what procedure I wanted and he supported my decision. Dr. Prashar is confident in his work which I feel there isn't any other person I could trust to perform either of my surgeries (VSG and gallbladder removal). Dr. Prasher always finds a way to keep you smiling, and he is very observant to your accomplishments. :)Always patient & listens to you & addresses any concerns. I can say I've recommended him & his staff to several friends and family members. His bedside manner is wonderful! Before surgery he will greet you and ask if there is any questions or concerns. Afterwards he went over the surgery and outcome with my husband since I was incoherent. I would rate him 5 stars, very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He has given me a new outlook on life, and I simply love him for that. Dr. Prashar your my favorite surgeon!! :)

Dr. Prashar helped save my life and my self-esteem. The first time I met him he took his time and explained to me all the options to help me lose weight and get healthy. He explained the procedures, the risks, and the possibe outcomes. I choose lap band surgery.
I recovered quickly from the surgery. My incisions are all small and I feel confident they will fade over time. Any time I called the office, he was quick to respond and address my questions.
Dr Prashar's most outstanding quality to his patients is that he really listens to us. He hears me and gives me answers that show he has heard me.
His fun sense of humor is also wonderful.
Thank you, Dr. Prashar, I will always be greatful to you for all your reassurance and help.

Dr. Prashar has a wonderful bedside manner and was very clear and concise about what to expect after surgery. I am a Registered Nurse (one of the worst patients), and he treated me with the utmost respect because of my extensive ICU background. He went over my labs and tests with me so that I knew exactly what was going on. I had terrible pain for 3 weeks after surgery and he persisted through and actually listened to me and treated my pain. Not many doctors will actually listen to you- I know because I work with them everyday. What I admired most about him is that he doesn't have the "God" complex and is very humble. He also was so complimentary to me yesterday- told me I looked great after losing 20 pounds and gave me a hug. In my opinion, he is one of the best surgeons I have ever met or had work on me.

I really can't say how impressed I am with Dr. Prashar. Surgery was on March 1, and physically things are going very well so far. I just saw him for my 6 week checkup and he was very encouraging, supportive, genuine, and quite patient. I do wish that I would have had some more time to ask him about the details of my surgery, and I would like to know why I was told (not by him) that he wouldn't be able to see me before I was discharged because he was very busy. At the time it made sense (plus I was on pain meds :) but in retrospect I really would have liked to talk to him about the surgery during my 3-day stay in the hospital.
I would recommend Dr. Prashar to anyone who is thinking about bariatric surgery.

Everyone at The Weight Loss Clinic is very nice and helpful and most importantly, not judgmental. The staff is always on top of things and willing to help you through any questions, concerns, or anything else you need. It feels like you're walking into a family doctor's office when you go there. Dr. Prashar is wonderful, very down-to-earth and has a great sense of humor. The first time I met him I knew instantly that he knew what he was doing and would take great care of me. He was very accommodating at the hospital, making sure I understood everything and spoke to my parents as soon as surgery was over. They were also very impressed with him. I also met Dr. Currie from The Weight Loss Clinic while at the hospital and my experience with him was similar. I have never heard anyone complain about any of the surgeons there. I would HIGHLY recommend The Weight Loss Clinic to anyone considering weight loss surgery, and would recommend Dr. Prashar in a heartbeat! My experience so far has been nothing but wonderful!
