The Doctor and his office are #1 in my book. Every question was answered. Dr. Sean has done a couple of surgeries on me, I highly recommend him to anyone looking into weight loss surgery. He is very professional and takes the time with you to make sure you are comfortable with any/all decisions. Dr. Sean cares about his patients and that's very important today.

Dr. Sowemimo preformed my third surgery and the old saying "three times a charm" was never more true. I had my original Roux-En-Y at 410lbs in 2003 by Dr. Brolin, one of the foremost pioneers of the surgery. Although I had no complications from the surgery, his office staff was not nearly as responsive nor as accommodating. I also abruptly stopped loosing weight very early on ( months post op) and stopped feeling full. Over the period the lack of a successful surgery saw me go from 285 up to 375. In 2011 I went to see Dr. Sowemimo's predecessor, Dr. Washington to explore my options. He preformed a procedure known as the "Rose Procedure" but as it wasn't a proven method it was not covered by insurance. I did have some initial success, but any weight loss and eating restrictions were soon gone. I went to see Dr. Sowemimo in early 2013 and at the time was 346lbs. He immediately told me that the Rose was not something that should have been done and sent me for some testing to see what would be the best course of treatment, if any were available. After several test he determined the original procedure had medically failed and applied to my insurance company to fix it. His office did all the work and I was approved in short order. He also put me on a liquid diet pre-op... he was the first Doctor to do this. He even put off my surgery because it had not been done. I was not pleased to be delayed, but it would make the procedure safer. I had a successful surgery in August and am now 275lbs.. lwer then I've ever been. The office staff is fantastic and helpful. They are friendly and accommodating. This final surgery has been such a pleasant experience compared to those before. Additionally Dr. Sowemimo made me feel individually cared about. I wasn't just a patient, but a person. I am grateful to him and the Staff for making this such a success.

Dr. Seun and his team made me feel completely at ease about the surgery and within hours of completion, I was up and walking around. I had no complications and my recovery had been wonderful. I used to dread little things like walking up or down a flight of stairs, now I can navigate them without a problem. Quality if life had definitely increased since the surgery and I'm back to living, instead of marking time. I can't thank Dr. Seun and his entire team enough.

Truly a great doctor, so glad that I went to him. He made sure that I had done all my "homework" before finally deciding on which surgery was the best option for my lifestyle. He truly is a people person.

Dr. Seun has changed my life drastically. I am so thankful to have found such a wonderful and compassionate doctor. The last time I was at my goal weight was in High School and Dr. Seun has helped me get there. He is all around professional and at your best interest. I recommend Dr. Seun to anyone who is serious about losing weight and being healthy again. Thank You Dr. Seun for giving me life again.

One week after surgery I am feeling great. There was very little pain involved and after the first day really none to speak of. Buy the third day I was feeling normal. Dr. Sowemimo and all his staff have been wonderful throughout this whole process. I could not feel better about my decision to have this surgery and my choice of surgeons. Looking forward to continued weight loss and a healthy life.
