Carl M. Pesta Bariatric Surgeon D.O.

I just met Dr. Pesta at the WLS Liv Lite Seminar 2/1/06. He provided great information and made me feel so comfortable. I have my consult on 2/6/2006. I will write more about Dr. Pest then and I aleady know its going good things he gives such a good vibe. He is such an handsome man who dresses like a million dollars. There is nothing wrong with having a talented, caring and intelligent surgeon who is also good looking!

I am more than happy with my surgeon. The whole team at LivLite and HenryFord BiCounty took very good care of me.

My first impression of Dr Pesta was he looked very young but polished i was impressed by the way he handled our seminar when the film wouldn't work he drew pictures and graphs. Very impressed. His office staff is very friendly and personable they make you feel very comfortable. There was nothing i didn't like about him. He is always available for you before and after surgery.He has very specific before and after care plans depending on you, and your health for instance my Iron was low so he advised an iron for me to take prior to surgery. He also arranges for you to make sure all your meds are covered before you even have surgery so no surprises. He addresses the risks of surgery in a manner which doesn't scare you but makes you very aware of what could but rarely happens. Over all pre-op I think he is great and that i made a wise choice in selecting his office for my surgery.

I met Dr. Pesta on November 28th 2005. There was an ease with him. He assured he could help; me but cautioned me regarding what difficulties I may have given my specufic condition. He is requiring certain test to en sure the best result.
My main concern with dealing with this surgeon is that I'm dan only have limited after-care because I'm a Canadian resident and he patices in the US.

my first impression of him was that he was so professional and kind.it has never changed.his office staff has been awesome to me .there is anything i did not like about him.he is kind hearted and you can tell he enjoys helping his patients.he asks that you keep all the appointments that are made.yes he does he lets you know that he would like you to attend the meetings.he showed me a diagram of my body inside and went throught the procedure carefully and asked me if i had any questions.i would rate him at 100% he is awesome and i am very happy with what he did ,he has showed me nothing but excellent care,his incision is fluwless.he is fantastic i don't know what else i could say except that i am so happy i went with him as my doctor.

Dr. Pesta is a great surgeon and I had a wonderful experience working with him.

Dr Pesta seems very upfront and competent
He addressed it seems all the areas/risks etc. of Lap. surgery and open. I am a patient of his that is going to be new to his practice with Lap Rny, that makes me alittle nervous. I feel he should have discussed this with me more,I intend to speak with those that go before me using the Lap procedure done by Dr Pesta and I intend to speak with him more on the procedure. I believe they have a very good aftercare program, they keep track of you and progress you are making, an that is super good. I would rate him overall good at what he does, but have to wait and see how the rest of this journey goes. I feel that surgical competence, bedside manner are two characteristics highly needed for me to be comfortable, spirit, soul, and BODY. His office staff seems very friendly and so do the folks at Liv-Lite.

My first impression of Dr Pesta is that he is young, but also that he really enjoys what he does. I've only met him twice so my impressions are very general so far, but I've been impressed with him so for. His office staff is very friendly and helpful. You never feel bad about yourself because of your weight. Aftercare is emphasized as VERY important! And that it's not just have the surgery and goodbye. Your aftercare is forever. Dr Pesta was very open and direct about the risks of surgery, and what my responsibilities as well as his are. I would rate Dr Pesta as a 10. I can't wait to have my surgery and continue on my journey to a healthy weight!

My first impression of Dr. Pesta was that he seemed "young"! (Not to mention good looking too!!) I finally met with him "one on one" and he is a wonderful man. I have total confidence in him as a doctor and surgeon. Dr.Pesta goes over all the pro's and con's of having the surgery, and makes sure everyone understands everything! He stresses the importance of after care, and makes it clear that he, and his staff will always be there when ever needed.
His office staff is wonderful, and more than willing to answer any questions for you....they will go out of their way for you in a heart beat.
I look forwarded to having my new life begin with him!

Dr. Pesta has been wonderful with me. I am such a "chicken at heart" and he has been very gentle with me. When I was going through a hard time healing, he gave me a hug and told me he was sorry that I was going through this!
