In 2006 my wife did her gastric bypass with Dr. Anez in VA so I know of him and his work but didn't really know him. I was very impressed with Dr. Anez and always will be. His staff treated me and my family like we were family. I came from Phoenix, AZ to do my surgery with Dr. Anez so that should tell you something. I was approved on the first try, Leo know what he was doing and what the insurance company wanted. I meet with Dr. Anez we talked and May 8th I had flown back to VA and let the master do his work. My son always says he is a beast well Dr. Anez he is a beast himself. Did my surgery, came and checked on me several times in recovery, his staff has kept in contact with me and I wish I had done this sooner. I went from 320 to 190 from May 8th to Dec 3rd and I feel good.
Thank You for helping save my life Dr. Anez and Staff, Leo, Rachel you guys are the best.

Dr. Anez and his office staff have been great! The office was very quick in submitting all of my documents to my insurance company. My approval came 3 days after submittal.
Dr. Anez was very understanding and honest. At my consultation I was unsure whether to have the band or bypass and he went over what type of procedure and why he thought it was best for me and the weight loss goals I had.
The day of surgery, I was extremly nervous in tears and he was so comforting that everything would be ok and it was. He came to check on me several times in recovery and after I was moved to a floor. After being discharged he immediately returned all my calls afterhours about any urgent questions I had. I've had no complications or issues with my surgery and feel as good as one can expect after having a major surgery(I'm 10 days post-op).
The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I think the best part is - considering how much you pay for your co-pays for all your related appointments and for the surgery itself in some cases, after your surgery the office waives all co-pays for the next 3 months which I think is incredibly considerate! I have had such a great experience with Dr. Anez and The Obesity Surgery Center and would definately recommend them to anyone considering weight loss surgery!

When I first thought of having the surgery it was almost 10 years ago. It fell through, and I had to put it on the back burner. I have since been through most of the process again, and am working toward a surgery date. I like Dr. Anez, he is a very compassionate man, and knows his stuff. I am almost there! I have one more appointment before I start my pre-op testing. I will attend a nutrition class on October 20. I am still so excited, I cannot believe that it is all coming together.
I first met Dr. Anez at a seminar at Fair Oaks in the summer of 2009. I was impressed but scared. About a month later, I called and made my first appt and it was great. His staff was nice and friendly and Dr. Anez was very helpful and exciting. I can't wait to move forward.
After 6 months of supervised dieting and weight lost, I'm finally approved. No problems from the insurance company!!!
December 14th....Here I come!
Dr. Anez is a laid back, smooth physician and I love he and his staff to pieces. He makes you feel comfortable, explains all the details of surgery very well and has complete faith in his staff which also puts your mind as ease. His bedside manner was extremely positive, he stresses aftercare and it's importance. My experience has been nothing but good and I would rate him 10 out of 10. I have no problem recommending him for anyone considering WLS.
My surgery is scheduled for September 7, 2010. I have to admit I am a little nervous. I start all my consults, tests and labs this week and next. I can't believe I have finally been approved and the ball is rolling. Dr. Anez and his staff have been extremely nice. Leo had my paperwork all together on Monday to send to my insurance company and the next day he called with the good news that I was approved. Marylou explained all the consults, tests and labs that I needed to have done. Vonzie at FairOak Nova actually schedule everything and sent me an email with all the details. I feel like I have made the right decision with Dr. Anez and his staff.
I had my surgery 2 years ago March. All I can say is Dr Anez is a life saver. He is one of the best Dr's I know. He was extremely patient and very helpful is his staff. I was very concerned with the whole process and wondered if I was making a mistake that would change my life forever. Welll the surgery changed my life but IT WAS DEFINATELY NOT A MISTAKE.... THANK YOU DR ANEZ.....
I actually haven't met Dr. Anez yet since he's been out of the office each time I've had an appointment. So far I've worked closely with Tiffany, who is his fabulous physician's assistant, and Leo the insurance coordinator. Everyone has been friendly and supportive.
My first impression was...AWESOME! From the minute I walked through the door, I felt like I was in the right place. Since this was my initial consult, I only met Nicole, Ann, and Dr. Anez. They were so awesome, so down to earth, and just easy to talk to. They answered all of my questions. Dr.Anez asked me questions, allowed me to ask questions, and took time to explain the surgery...risks and all!
