Summa Bariatric Care Center

"I called the Bariatric office and left four messages after a month or so went past. I never received a call back or anything. The front desk need to show more empathy for the patients that come in. Having nasty attitudes doesn't help the situation."

"The office is well run and it is always easy to get in touch with someone when I need them. Dr. Mellert was kind and knowledgeable and very caring. They have helped and continue to help me on my weight loss journey (which is going fantastic)."

"Made appointment to see Dr Z ... Never saw him! Had issues from surgery done in past. He never saw me. I was passed off to a dietitian and she did nothing for me other getting both colonoscopy and endoscopy. Never was called about results or return appointment. What you see on TV is a joke about about there caring of patients health."

"Dr Adrian Dan is the best! Roux en Y procedure took longer than expected due to adhesions but he didn’t give up on me. 32 pound loss just 1 month post op and I feel better than I have in years. Already off all medications for diabetes and high blood pressure. The process takes time but embrace it and learn as much as you can. So worth it. Thank you Dr Dan and all the staff. You are awesome. Thank you for my new life!"

"I have been going through this process with this office since January of 2016. I have had bumps in the road with them during the process but never driven to the point to write a review. My surgeon was Dr. Dan. I have had many, many office visits with them throughout this journey. I have been kept waiting in the examination room many, many times by the doctor and for considerable periods of time but I just kept going along. Today, I had an appointment scheduled for my one year check post surgery. My appointment time was 9:50. I signed in at 9:55, five minutes late. They refused to see me and wanted to reschedule my appointment. I said "over 5 minutes?". I was given a lecture about how busy the doctor was. I walked out of the office. The receptionist chased me down in the hallway to give me a parking token. I told her "after all this time, after the countless times I have waited for that doctor in the exam room, the countless amount of time I have waited for him and he now refuses to see me over 5 minutes? I do not know who he thinks he is but he is not that to me." I will never go back. What kind of a pathetic and unacceptable healthcare provider would refuse to see a patient over 5 minutes? I want anyone who is considering this office for surgery to know that this is how patients are treated, given no respect, value or importance. Instead, please go find another surgeon's practice who genuinely cares for and respects their patients. You will not get that here. I believe that I will also notify the hospital this practice is associated with as well as my insurance company of the way I was treated today."
