Keith S. Gersin Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS, FASMBS

I am only one week post op, however based on my recovery I feel Dr. Gersin did a fantastic job with my VSG Surgery. I have been a patient of Dr. Gersin since February 2016 and each encounter with him has been pleasant. He is very informative, well educated and patient which are all qualities that have been conducive towards helping me reach each goal during this Weight Loss Journey. I highly recommend his services to anyone considering Bariatric Surgery.

I had researched Dr. Gersin for months before having my surgery, reading all of the reviews. As a surgeon, he is very informative, answering any concerns you might have. He is always prompt and on time for his procedures/surgeries/appointments. He is a little quiet and withdrawn, but this was okay with me, as I am the same way. He is very confident in his ability and has an excellent track record at the Cleveland Clinic and now Carolinas Weight Management Clinic in Charlotte, NC.

I would have liked to have seen him after my surgery, but he had to fly out of town. His fellow, took wonderful care of me and left me in good hands, and Dr. Gersin was reachable when I had excrutiating pains on the day after surgery. Unfortunately, the hospital staff was unable to order the pain control that I needed in a timely fashion leaving me in pain for hours. Other than that, the nurses took great care of me at the hospital. The office staff of Carolina Weight Loss Clinic was.....okay. Some of the ladies seemed to not want to be bothered with patients at times, although no one was down right rude. My submission to the insurance company was timely....my insurance took about 3 weeks to review the paperwork, but after I was approved, they immediately faxed the paperwork to the surgery scheduler and she called me the same day to schedule my surgery. Nothing/No one is perfect, but my experience was very good. I look forward to following up with this clinic for the years to come.

I had RNY on March 22, 2011. Dr. Keith Gersin did my surgery. What impressed me the most was his attention to details. He was not in a rush to go to surgery until I had full medical clearance. I had the most complete physical exam I had ever had before he'd take me to surgery because I and he wanted me to have the best outcome possible. And he doesn't fool around. If he's willing to put himself out there and do surgery with all the risks involved then he expects you to do your part in the preparation and post operatively. But he doesn't work alone. It's a whole team effort that got me through the pre op, operative and now the post op phase of my journey. The office works like clockwork. Very organized. From the physician's assistant, surgical nurse, psychologist, dietician, fitness trainer, laboratory staff, front desk staff, insurance coordinators, by the time I walked into CMC-Mercy on March 22 I felt totally prepared as to what was waiting ahead of me. As for the hospital...excellent care. I am now 5 months post op. Having great weight loss results. I am following the aftercare program as I was instructed. I continue to attend the monthly support group meetings at the hospital which I consider is an essential part of my program. I follow up with the dietician, fitness trainer in the office. Next month I am scheduled to have my first post op bloodwork testing. I am feeling great. Dr. Gersin is also a general surgeon. He did the endoscopy and a colonoscopy that I needed pre op which was very convenient. If I ever need a surgical procedure in the future I will call him first to see if it's something he can do. I recommend the group to everyone I talk to. If I had to do it all over again the only thing I would change is that I would have done it sooner.

So far my whole experience with Dr. Gersin and his office has been wonderful! I am so glad I chose him and alothough I have not had my surgery yet, I have absolute complete faith and trust in him!

Dr. Gersin is an excellent surgeon and very competent. I was originally approved for Lap Band surgery, but developed diverticulitis twice in 2 months. Dr. Gersin explained why the Lap Band would be a poor option moving forward. So I decided to have the gastric sleeve. I really did not want something so invasive because I am a nurse and know all the potential risks. I went ahead with the surgery and could not be happier. Everything went perfectly and I have had very few problems since surgery. My only complaint is I have yet to see Dr. Gersin since I left the hospital. I always see his PA or NP at follow up appointments, but as I mentioned I've had no problems following surgery.

His office staff is wonderful and all of the pre-approval tests and consultations can be done in the office so you are not running all over town. They are also there for support if you are having problems. The nutritionists and exercise therapists are readily available if you have any questions.

My husband is getting approved for weight loss surgery and I will definately have him use Carolinas Weight Loss and Wellness Center.

Dr. Gersin was wonderful- as was his fellow- who really was with me throughout the surgery and procedures. He was very thorough...and considerate.rnrnMercy hospital staff was also awesome.... rnrnthey also sell good food in the office.. which is very helpful. rnrnAlso- a very comprehensive program.rn

Dr. Gersin was a great surgeon. He has a dry sense of humor and isn't very touchy feely, but he gets the job done. He has lots of experience and I felt 100% confident in him. My gastric bypass went smooth. rn

Dr. Gersin also did this surgery with my mother last year so I was pretty confident with him already. He was very professional and doesn't beat around the bush which is what I like. He did a great job and I am very appreciative of all his help and support.

Very quiet but easy to talk to. Will answer all questions and make you feel at ease. Only saw him for a few minutes but easy to talk to. All office staff very nice.

First Impression-Quiet but professional, kind, to the point.rnrnMy impression has not changed of Dr. Gersin. He's still quiet and to the point. I felt very confident in him and his fellow, Dr. Ferrell. I had to return to the hospital for a bleeding ulcer. Dr. Gersin was not there but Dr. Ferrell and the others in their team worked quickly to diagnose the problem and treat it accordingly. I am very pleased with Dr. Gersin and Dr. Ferrell and would recommend either surgeon to anyone considering this surgery.
