Carl M. Pesta Bariatric Surgeon D.O.

I had sleeve surgery with Dr pesta 5 weeks ago. I have never met a more caring doctor, ever! While in the hospital I had the dry heaves and this Dr stood there with me rubbing my back. 1 week after surgery I had a tearing pain in one of the incisions and he met me in the bariatric center on a busy surgery day to check me out and even gave me his cell number in case I needed to contact him. He cares about each and everyone of his patients, sincerely. He shares your weight loss victories as well as any concerns. His entire staff is amazng from the day you decide to go through the process. And are there to help with anything you need. If you want an amazing surgeon and an amazing experience; call Dr pesta.

I have always been very back in forth with getting bariatrics I have a few friends that have had it and the results are incredible, but none of them follow up with their doctor and their doctors don't check up on them and they just gave me weird vibes. I was refereed to Dr. Pesta through my wonderful PCP who personally knows Dr. Pesta and he told me to go talk to him and that he isn't like a lot of doctors because Dr. Pesta like myself actually care and want to help you. So I meet with Dr. Pesta first let me just say the man dresses like a young Frank Sinatra very clean cut and handsome, but I didn't get that bad vibe I got from a few other surgeons I met with, he came in introduced himself "a lot of doc sadly don't do this anymore" shook my hand made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He answered all my questions without making me feel dumb for not knowing them and he didnt give me that rushed feeling a lot of doctors do, he actually took the time to talk to me and actually cared. Was very detailed and kind and just a very wonderful caring doctor. I highly recommend him if you are looking to get any bariatric surgery. Also his staff is probably the friendliest nicest professional caring staff I have ever seen in my 27 years and I am very picky when it comes to what doctor I see. It has been 4 months since my surgery and I am down 85lbs and I am beyond excited to go to the doctors and actually get on the scale now lol... I enjoy going to the gym and eating healthy because I'm actually seeing the results and I feel wonderful and I cannot thank Dr. Pesta and his amazing staff enough. I love my doctor family lol. He gave me my life back and a new outlook on everything. I cannot thank him enough!!! Thank you Dr. Pesta!!! Please note and I cannot stress enough and neither can Dr. Pesta and his staff if you do decide to get bariatric surgery PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be sure to follow up with your surgeon when they tell you to it is very important to keep you on the right track and to correct any problems you are having!!! Happy New Year!!

Dr. Pesta is such a great doctor! He listens to you, doesn't make you feel stupid with any questions, and most rare in a doctor, doesn't talk over your head. His treatment of his patients is awesome. Had my appendix out 8/13 and said I could have ice chips, he went and got me some. Never seen a doctor do that. He is one of the first doctors I have seen that really cares about his patients. I would recommend him to anyone.

I had Rue N Y surgery in 4-09, downtown Henry Ford. I moved to Warren, and decided I wanted to find a doc closer to home. I then found out I had a hernia, so I called the Henry Ford Hosp South Macomb and asked them to recommend a doc that has experience with Weight loss surgery. They gave me Doc Pesta. I went to see him about what I thought was a hernia fix. and he was very polite and understanding, to let me know that the hernia wasn't from the WLS. it was on my back. So I went home.. Laughing honestly.. the in Dec 2011, I went to the hosp. for gut pain. and found out that my gall bladder was the size of a baked potato. At first, due to my own stupidity, but I thought I had a valid reason. I refused surgery from Doc Pesta. He tried everything to explain to me that I needed this removed ASAP. with the size, and if anything broke off it, and got into the intestine with the WLS, how it would kill me and there was nothing he could do to fix it. I still refused. And you could see how upset he was, but he also understood. Well, long story short, hubby walked in, and I had surgery that day.! I was so SCARED!! I have never been afraid of surgery, but he honestly held my hand. and he never left my side until they had me out. And when I woke up, he was there.. He is the first doctor in a LONG time that truly cares!. I now have to have a revision done to the WLS, and he will be the only one to do it.!!!! I have found a doc that cares, and gave me his direct cell number, just incase I need him... He is truly Amazing.!!!

Dr Carl Pesta stands for (Dr) D= dearest R=Remarkable (Carl) C= caring A=astonishing R= respected L= loyal (Pesta) P= positive E=excellent S=suburb & sympathetic T=trendy A= amazing. Dr Pesta is AN AMAZING MAN, SURGEON; I selected him personally because I know firsthand what kind of Doctor he is. I work at Henry Ford Warren I see him day in and day out and I saw how compassionate, sincere, and skilled he is. I also heard his patients say how wonderful he is and how they would never change their decision to have surgery by Dr. Pesta. I had Gastric Bypass surgery November 16, 2011 and today is January 24, 2012 it's been 9 weeks and I have lost 46lbs. I truly would recommend Dr Pesta to EVERYONE. He is the Best and he is so charming. He really loves what he does and has such a compassion for people. Dr Pesta is very comforting and his bedside manner is remarkable. I can go on and on, all I can say is he is the best and I not only have the best surgeon but a life long friend.

Dr. Pesta is the man. The care is top notch and the way things are explained is amazing. I would refer anyone I know to him. Thanks for the new life Dr. Pesta(Dr. GQ)

AFTER CARE WAS GOOD AND HE WENT OVER THE RISK WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB, NOT GOOD CARE FIRST NIGHT IN HOSPITAL AND HE LET ME VENT. H LYNN MAYLE

My surgeon was everything I could have wanted in a doctor. He's very approachable, easy to talk to & takes alot of time pre-operatively to make sure you understand what to expect. When I was having an anxiety attack in the OR just prior to surgery, he was so kind & gentle & calmed me down immediately (or maybe it was those pre op drugs they gave me just then!). I am interested in seeing how the post op visits will flow. Thank you for this opportunity to brag on my surgeon. Also, DH, who really doesn't like anyone, especially doctors, was impressed with Dr. Pesta. So, that is the highest compliment Dr Pesta could receive from this family.

My first impression of Dr. Pesta was that he was a very sincere person. He really seems to have a passion for what he does, and a genuine concern for his patients. Each time I see him it further validates those thoughts. He is extremely easy to talk to and to voice concerns to. The staff at his office is great. Sally, the program coordinator (who works out of the hospital, not the office), is one of the greatest people I've ever met. She will help you with anything you need help with. L'Nore, the patient advocate, is awesome too. She has had surgery herself as well, and is very candid about the process and what she's been through. I was very impressed with the entire staff.
All in all, if you are looking for a great surgeon I would highly recommend Dr. Pesta. He has great bedside manner, he's friendly, funny, and up front. There is a very structured aftercare program (which is outlined in the "WLS bible") that they provide you with, which has tons of info in it to help you along the way. I feel I couldn't have chosen a better surgeon. Thanks Dr. Pesta.

Dr P is awesome. Clearly understands how to help patients get through the process.
