Hadar Spivak Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

I had my surgery 2 years ago and have lost about 50 pounds and kept it off. Dr Spivak has been so understanding from the beginning. My beginning was different. I postphoned \"chickened out\" 4 times before I finally went through with the surgery. When I talked to Dr Spivak about my fear and appologized for all the cancellations. He said we only do it if you are ready. It's really OK he said. The staff also was understanding and forgiving. I picked Dr Spivak because I felt he and his staff were so professional and coming from a medical profession myself ( I'm an RN) that was most important to me. It is a new way of life and I'm still learning, I would encourage anyone and everyone with a weight problem to go to Dr Spivak.

I had considered lap band surgery for several years, had researched online...etc.rnI was impressed with Dr Spivak's record of success...the fact that he was the first in Texas to do lap band, and, that the FDA chose him for clinical approval of the process.rnI attended on of his seminars and was blown away by his and the office staff's treatment of all of us. We were people with needs, not just a number with a dollar sign beside it.rnrnI had the band surgery on Feb 1, 2008. It is the best thing that I have ever done for myself. I have had no problems, and am totally satisfied, not hungry even eating small amounts. My band adjustments have been accurately done, and it is working for/with me.rnrn Dr.Spivak's office staff have been wonderful to me, and , when I go in for a fill, he actually listens to me and visits.rnrnI would recommend him to anyone considering the surgery....my life will never be the same.rnrnSince Feb 1, 2008 I have lost 80 lbs!!!! It has been so easy ,and best of all, I can keep it off this time!!!!

Dr. Spivak is very knowledgeable and answered all questions asked. He has a great bedside manner and genuinely cares about his patients. The office staff is great and works with you to meet your needs/schedule. Aftercare was emphasized and follow up was done immediately following the surgery.rnrnSurgical competence and bedside manner were both great.rnrnI would recommend Dr. Spivak to anyone wanting a competent surgeon with a great bedside manner and friendly and knowledgeable staff.

I recommend Dr Spivak highly I have never felt better. He has changed my whole life I was so sick . I have lost about 50lbs. I look and feel awesome. The office staff is great very great people always willing to help.. I love Dr. Spivak he is great Dr.

I choose Dr.Spivak, because my mother had the lap band back in 2000 and after meeting him, his bed side was wonderful and I felt he took great care of all his patients. I choose to have gastric bypass after my husband came home from a tour of duty with the military and I had gained even more wieght. When I came in for my first appointment his staff was great! They answered all my questions, from understanding the surgery, eating, dealing with the insurance company to what I could expect after surgery. The day of surgery, yes I was nervous, but I was completely comfortable, with Dr. Spivak and the surgery. Day of surgery I weighed in at 247lbs. today nearly 3 years later, I've been able to maintain my weight at 125lbs. I'm very happy with the surgery and would recommend it to anyone but only if they had Dr. Spivak as their surgeon. He has a great staff, that can answer all your questions. I would recommend Dr. Spivak to all my friends and family, after everything he and his staff has done for me, they've changed my life for the better. I no longer have all the problems I had before surgery, like high blood pressure, joint pains, back pain, borderline diabetes, sleep problems, painful pms and emotional problems. Now, I feel great, I feel better about myself, and no longer have any of the health problems I had before. So if your looking into this surgery, I would come meet Dr. Spivak and his staff, he's a great doctor and I'm sure you'll agree that he's the best doctor for this surgery!

I felt confident using Dr. Spivak because of his experience and knowledge. He was professional and polite, but didn't hesitate to inform of the complications and risks involved. I would definitely reccommend him to others.

Having lapband surgery has been one of the best decisiIons I ever made for my life. Dr. Spivak is a very open and honest Doctor who will advise you of what he things you may need with Weight Loss Sergery weather it is the lap band or some other procudure. It has taken me only 3 weeks and I have lost 10 pounds and I have never felt better. rnrnEsel Andrea Miller

However, great bedside manners, are also very important, especially during the aftercare process, any you have BOTH!
