NewStart at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center Hospital

Dr. FELIX SPIEGAL is very personable. He is one of the TOP in his field. I highly recommend him for your Bariatric surgery and recovery needs. He is patient and will educate you in all you need to do to achieve your goals. The rest of the work is ofcourse up to you.

I had a very positive experience with everyone I met during my stay! Nursing staff were very friendly and down to earth, they seemed genuinely concerned and very knowledgeable. I didn't feel self conscious around them and had much confidence in them.
The only recommendation I would make is for the hospital to offer valet parking service at the times patients are required to arrive and also on weekends.

Dr. Speigel was my surgeon for VSG. I can't imagine it going any smoother. His office staff was very helpful, responsive, warm and kind. After my surgery I was so surprised to not have any pain. Dr. Speigel fixed a hiatal hernia and cleaned up the mess of adhesions left from my lap band along with performing the VSG. So far, so great! My daughter and husband are next and I look forward to them having the same experience I have had.

Dr. Felix Spiegel is a super surgeon! I had my lap DS with him 11/01/2012. The only pain I experienced was gas pain the first few days. After that, it was smooth sailing. My incisions healed quickly with no leakage. I am now 4 weeks post-op and down 48 pounds! Dr. Spiegel's office staff is very busy because he is in high demand, but they are very proficient. They were able to do in less than 2 weeks what another office was not able to do in a month, get me approved! If you need weight lost surgery and are in the Houston, TX area, I highly recommend Dr. Spiegel.

all of the staff was very attentive and encouraging. Staff seemed very familiar w/ bariatric surgery patients and needs.
Everything about my visit went very smoothly.

Dr.Primomo is AWESOME!! Very attentive and informative. He and his staff made the whole experience an awesome one.

I was well cared for during my stay. All the staff were kind, courteous and attentive.

Dr. Primomo is a skilled surgeon with a very good bedside manner. He is confident and passionate about this life saving procedure. I highly recommend him and the staff of the Davis Clinic.

From the first interaction with Dr Primomo, he has been nothing but professional with an excellent bedside manner! I am one week post-op and very impressed with my surgeon and my care. During my hospitalization I had to stay an additional night due to some complications. Dr Primomo communicated with me and my family throughout, and even called me two hours after seeing me, to reassure me of my condition. (I am a nurse and he knew I was concerned). I recommend Dr Primomo to anyone considering weight-loss surgery. I am very happy I chose Dr Primomo and the Davis Clinic.

I also met Dr. Primomo in the seminar and really thought he was sincere in his quest to help us determine whether the bariatric surg would be right for each of us. I made an appt to see him and we discussed all of the issues and concerns I had. He was warm and courteous. I felt immediately at ease with him and completely confident in his abilities. My main fear was of the pain meds and anesthesia which make me very sick to my stomach. He understood my concerns and with his guidance, for the first time ever after surgery I was not sick at all. He is a gracious and humble man and will make you feel like you are the only patient he has. I think the world of him and highly recommend him to anyone who is considering this.
I look forward to a long healthy life because of this surgery.
