Dr. Speigel was my surgeon for VSG. I can't imagine it going any smoother. His office staff was very helpful, responsive, warm and kind. After my surgery I was so surprised to not have any pain. Dr. Speigel fixed a hiatal hernia and cleaned up the mess of adhesions left from my lap band along with performing the VSG. So far, so great! My daughter and husband are next and I look forward to them having the same experience I have had.

*** 6 Month update *** Doing great, lost 145 lbs so far!!! :)
Dr. Felix Spiegel is a super surgeon! I had my lap DS with him 11/01/2012. The only pain I experienced was gas pain the first few days. After that, it was smooth sailing. My incisions healed quickly with no leakage. I am now 4 weeks post-op and down 48 pounds! Dr. Spiegel's office staff is very busy because he is in high demand, but they are very proficient. They were able to do in less than 2 weeks what another office was not able to do in a month, get me approved! If you need weight lost surgery and are in the Houston, TX area, I highly recommend Dr. Spiegel.

Dr. Spiegel performed a laproscopic BPD/DS procedure on me in July 2011. In addition he took out my gall bladder and repaired an umbilical hernia. The surgery went smooth and I was home in two days. Back to work in five. He came by every day to visit me (even on Saturday) and answered all of my questions. His bedside manner is excellent.
Dr. Felix Spiegel is the most caring and concern doctor I've ever met. He is very explanatory.,a nd allows you to ask questions. He gives such detail view and descriptions on your first meeting. He is so caring and wants the best for his patients. If I had to do it over again I would do it in a heartbeat.

I love Dr Spiegel. He and his staff are great and efficient. Of course he is busy but he takes whatever time is needed with each patient so they understand what is going on and why.
When I first went to see him I thought I wanted the sleeve. He took the time to sit with me and explained the DS procedure and why I might want to consider that but the choice was mine to make. So I went with the DS and am glad I did.
He and his nutritionist Dana are developing their own line of foods which are great. An inexpensive way to get my protein in and not have to bother with trial and error as I still introduce new foods to my system.
I have a 3 month follow up in a couple of weeks and can't wait to get on his scale and show off my 75 pound loss.
THANKS DR SPIEGEL!!

So far I Like Dr Spiegel. He has been straight to the point, and willing to answer any questions I may have. His staff have been very helpful with getting my insurance approved and staying in contact with me.
Surgery is planned for 12.21.2010
Dr. Speigle was great. I had an unrelated complication and he was awesome in his handling of it. I would recomend anyone that lives close enough using Speigle.
Dr. Spiegel is great, I am so happy I went with him as my surgeon. His office staff have all been patients of his so they know what you can expect from him, the surgery and the hospital. I decided not to go to the live support meetings because his office and the hospital are a bit far to be practical that often for me (so I went with online support groups instead).
