Independence Health System Hospital

I have to say that Dr. Gagne, Lindsey, Maria, Nicole, Lisa and the rest of the staff are absolutely wonderful! Everyone was extremely helpful and knowledgable. I haven't had surgery yet, but needed to express how happy I was with my initial appointment!

Love this Dr !

I would Highly recommend Dr Gagne, and his staff. They provided a very professional attitude but also allowing patients a sense of comfort and compassion. From my first visit to now, I had confidence Dr Gagne and his staff, understood my needs and what would need to be done to help correct my condition. You can talk and ask any question and they are more than willing to help you understand the answers, and what to expect. I had issues with my insurance not wanting to cover my revision, I am sure the staff spent a good amount of time reviewing my case with my insurance company, and thanks to them I was able to cut some of my wait time off. I know you hear all the good and nothing bad about a lot of things, but I can honestly tell you, If I had to do this all over again, Dr Gagne would be my choice.

I love this Surgeon, He is very caring and generally concerned about your well being. He is very serious about food journals and losing weight pre-op for a safe surgery. Dr Gagne is very detailed and he requires his staff to do the same. I was going into surgery and the resident forgot to wear a hair net and Dr Gagne told him about it. I was very pleased with the surgery and this surgeon

Dr Maalouf is not only a great surgeon he is a great guy! I could not have asked for someone better. He was very kind and compassionate. He lifeted my spirits with each visit to my room.

mark did my surgery in december 2010. i loved this dr, couuldnt have asked for a better surgen. showed compassion and care threw ever step. i would highly recomend him for any over weight person struggeling to lose weight and seriously trying.

If you are in the Pittsburgh area looking for a WLS surgeon, there is no one better than Dr. Daniel Gagne. He is truly a great dr!. I had no major problems and feel great. My surgery was 3/25 and I am so glad that I chose him.

He is a stickler about food choices and really reads your food journals to make sure you are making the effort to change your diet.

He wants to continue seeing you post op- forever! He really supports you through the entire process.

I highly recommend Dr Gagne for RNY.

Dr Maalouf is an excellent surgeon. His office staff is very knowledgeable and helpful when ever you have a question. I would recommend him to anyone that wants a smaller hospital than one in the bigger cities. The only thing that I didn't like about my experience was when I was readmitted back to the hospital for dehydration and the hospital had no clue what I was allowed to eat and what the different phases of diet were. That should have been known before I was placed on the surgical floor.

I was so nervous of meeting dr gagne and just for the whole day of different things to happen. I was empressed with the dr and all of the office staff. I am so exceited of hopin for a surgery date for this summer. The best part of the day was when i met with rebecca who just had her surgery two week prior she looked amazing. Was really nice so it was.I go back on june 16th for the dr and the nutrionist and for the physicology. I am little bit nervous of meeting him dont know what to expect.I will keep reporting on my progress and hope to see some of this weight to come off before june comes.

My experience with Dr. Gagne has been WONDERFUL. He is very knowledgeable and is able to relate to his patients very well. For instance, when reviewing my pre-op. food journal, he could easily relate to the problems I was experiencing with certain foods...like pizza. He let me know that he has pizza night with his kids. He told me to do what he does and focus on a better choice like a nice salad with maybe 1 slice of pizza, which was what he was planning on doing that evening. That showed me that he understands where I'm coming from. He has a great way of explaining the surgery and his experience performing the surgery. He has been very open about answering all of my questions. His staff is very accessible and thorough. I've been very happy with my experience so far. I am scheduled for surgery on May 6th, 2010.
