Hadar Spivak Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

I am extremely satisfied with the surgery and the progress of my weight loss. Dr. Spivak has given me a new lease on life. My blood pressure is controled, I am more active and of course I feel and look great. Dr. Spivak comes highly recommended.

Dr. Spivak was very concern about my well being. He was very professional and honest. Overtime he is the same sweet person and I only will trust him as my surgeon. When I was in the Hospital he always came to visit me and to make sure the Doctors were treating me the proper medication. He did not have to do any of those things but he did. I will always remember him and recommend him to others who are considering weight loss surgery.rnrnOn a scale of 1-10 He gets a big 10 from me.

He was very helpful in explaining the surgery and answered all the questions I had and so was the staff. The overall experience was great. I wish I would have had the gastric though because it seems like people lose more weight.

If you are on this website, don't lose hope.rnI had my lapband procedure done with Dr. Spivak in March of '06 after researching the procedure for over 2 years.rnrnNeedless to say, any type of weight loss is not easy. I had tried shots, starvation, pills, and on on and on.rnrnThe Lapband procedure was explained to me very thoroughly by Dr. Spivak and his staff at a question and answer session prior to deciding to go forward with the surgery.rnI was also excited to see that several of his staff members also had the surgery and still look great to this day.rnrnDr. Spivak and his staff are warm and compassionate. There waiting room chairs are even made to fit us.rnrnrnI received the surgery to take care of my health so I could continue to live life to the fullest. My husband and I are closer than ever and my 14 year old tells me I am HOT!rnrn

Dr Spivak was very courteous and walked me through the whole process. This has been a life changing event. The staff is very encourging. I would recommend them to anyone.

i loved his friendly encouraging bed side manner. there was no hype or inflated promises he told me if i followed the plan what to expect and he was exactly right.rnwhen starting jan. 2006 i weighed 212and today dec 2008 i weighed 107. it was the best decision of my life. no more bloodpressure issues no more self esteem issues i am who i always was on the inside. i love dr. spivak and bee and racheal from his staff.

Deciding to have lapband surgery was not something I entered into lightly and it was very important to me that I have a highly qualified doctor. With that in mind, I attended a seminar and was very impressed with his professionalism. During the consult, Dr. Spivak was very helpful, answering my questions in a positive way. I felt very confident in his expertise and signed up for the lapband surgery. It was the best decision I could have made. I have nothing but praise to say about Dr. Spivak and his staff. The surgery went smoothly. I didn't have any problems from the surgery and was able to go back to work after a few days. Another reason I chose him is that his practice also included support meetings that I could attend. I attended the support group meetings for 10 months and can't imagine going through this journey without those meetings. I've have two fills since my surgery a year ago and each time Dr. Spivak has answered my questions thoroughly before he completed the fills. I would highly recommend him to anyone (and have).

My first impression of Dr. Spivak was he was very knowledgeable of bariatric surgery and has a care for his patients for the procedure to work for them. Over time my confidence in him as my aftercare physician has only grown stronger. His office staff ( Bea, Rachel and Brenda) to just mention a few as there are others are all wonderful and professional and care about you as a patient and your journey to weightloss. I cannot say there is anything I dislike about Dr. Spivak or his office staff, only positive things in my experience. Dr. Spivak is a qualified bariatric surgeon and offers great aftercare to his patients. He strongly recommends aftercare and follow-ups regularly. Dr. Spivak requires a seminar and consultation of all patients before surgery and is very informative of all risk with both lap-band and by-pass surgery. In my opinion Dr. Spivak is the best qualified bariatric surgeon in the Houston, Texas area and I highly recommened him to all new people looking into bariatric surgery. Dr. Spivaks surgical competence as well as his bedside manner are wonderful.

My experience with Dr Spivak has been a great experience for me from the very beginning. Dr. Spivak and his staff have been very helpful and supportive of me and my weight loss goal. I have also enjoyed attending his support group that is held every other Tuesday night. I have learned alot about myself and my weight loss journey. I would highly recommend Dr. Spivak and his office to anyone that is thinking about the Lapband surgery for weight loss.

I had my surgery on 11-20-06 with Dr. Hadar Spivak in Houston, TX. The surgery is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Dr. Spivak and his staff made me and my family feel secure in my decision for weight loss surgery and I would recomend him to anyone wishing to make this wonderful, life-altering journey. I lost almost 100 pounds in a little over a year. With the lapband, I was able to get pregnant and have a beautiful healthy baby. Now I can be an active and loving mommy. My husband and I are grateful for this miracle, one that wasn't possible without the weight loss. Dr. Spivak has been supportive every step of the way and I wouldn't dream of using another Doctor.
