It has been a great experience and smooth process. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I’m excited for surgery next month.
I had a hernia repair surgery with Texas Bariatric Specialists and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Dr Patel and his team were very professional, caring, and supportive throughout the whole process. They answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable and confident about my decision to have surgery. Dr Ramdath performed the operation and he was amazing. He was very skilled, smooth, and fast. I had minimal pain and discomfort after the surgery and I recovered quickly. I am so grateful to Texas Bariatric Specialists for fixing my hernia and improving my quality of life. They are the best in the business!... (Show more)
