"This group of individuals has catapulted me into a healthier, happier, more productive person than I ever thought possible. Shout out to my therapist who has been an absolute blessing. I just don’t know where I would be without her."

"Dr. Pokala and her team are amazing. I had my sleeve surgery done 12/07/23 and I have lost 17lbs in almost 2 weeks. They guided me through the entire journey before my surgery and are still keeping up with me. I feel amazing!!! Thank you for changing my life!!!"

"Dr Pfister and his staff have been nothing but knowledgeable, ready to help at any time, caring, they help you make the important decisions for your health and lifestyle and never judge you, always compassionate. I'm so grateful to all of them."

"Dont go here for bariatric surgery. Staff is nice but surgeon is aloof and seems uninterested in bariatric surgery. Seemed uncaring. Has zero protical. Told me flintstone vitamins are enough for me after surgery. Left spur of the moment for a "mission trip". I was there 6 months. Did all I was supposed to do to meet all my insurance goals they said it take up to a month to even send it to insurance for approval. They said they sent it out to insurance finally 2 weeks later I called insurance company and they said never received it. Called dr that's when they told me they failed to send it in aise dr would be gone for 3 months. So I left them. Went to Lutheran bariatric. Mind u Lutheran hospital is like a dinosaur but let me tell you dr. Sloan aNd the bariatric team has it all figured out. The surgeon himself did the seminar. And was truly honored to do this surgery for people. The difference was night and day. Not to mention was approved and had surgery within 3 weeks. And support was fabulous. So bottom line go to Lutheran bariatric cause parkview needs major refinements."
