Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing surgeon
I had an wonderful experience with Dr Sommer, and his team. He is an amazing board certified baristric surgeon that did my gastric bypass in Jan 2023. He is caring and explains the process and what to expect. I went from a size 20 to a size 2. I am finally living the life I could have only dreamed about before.

This has been the worst experience Ive ever had with any medical facility. I can't believe NYBG and Dr Sommer were recommended to me, as the experience I had was nothing short of despicable. This place makes the DMV look like a paradise of competence and efficiency. I paid out of pocket because I wanted the process to go as smooth and stress-free as possible. It’s a nightmare. Over $26000 later, 3 months post op and I'm still dealing with their billing mismanagement. Should have ran when the first red flag went up. I paid the initial $11k deposit and it took me 7 phone calls, 3 emails and 5 different representatives just to get an itemized receipt. To describe what happened after would take a novel, lets just say their dishonest billing practices and disorganization are unparalleled. I’m coughing after every meal, not sure if its normal but I’m looking for another place for my post-op care. Would never recommend NYBG.

Absolutely love Dr. Sommer! I was at a different practice that gave me such a hard time I didnt want the surgery. One office visit with him and he showed such compassion and helped me so much that I decided to have the surgery. He truly cared and made sure everything was taken care of. He went above and beyond and changed my life!

I would recommend my doctor to anyone. From my first consultation, I knew I was in great hands. Dr. Sommer also holds his staff to the same high standard which was obvious from reception to post-op nurses and coordinators. All equally impressive.
