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.

Simply the Best!
Dr. Spiegel is such an amazing surgeon. He helped me with my weight loss And I had actually worked with him. One thing about Dr. Spiegel is that he’s upfront and honest and very personable. Over the years I got to know him not only as a surgeon but as a friend, I have to say he is one of the great top 5 bariatric surgeons of North America. Thank you, Dr. Speigel!

BEST DOCTOR EVER!!!!
Dr. Spiegel is a wonderful doctor. I was impressed the first time I met him. He is very personable and listens to what you have to say. Most Doctors these days have their heads in their computers and are not really paying attention to their patients. Not Doctor Spiegel. He is very attentive and caring. I would recommend him to anyone needing a Bariatric doctor!!

Dr. Spiegel is excellent and he tells you everything for your health. My procedure was the gastric bypass and I have had an excellent experience.

I got a Lap Band in 2013, mostly due to the lower cost and the flexibility of the adjustable band. Over the first year, I lost about 50 pounds. But...I rarely ate a meal when I didn't have to excuse myself to the restroom to "foam." The results were great, but there were so many symptoms to work around. Last year (2019), my Lap-Band started to fail. I wasn't able to maintain my weight loss and I was having really bad stomach pain. True Results did my original surgery, so since they are no longer around, I had to shop for a new surgeon. Dr. Spiegel was not at the top of my list then, but he is now!!! He removed my Lap-Band, along with tons of scar tissue and replaced it with a Gastric Sleeve. Two days of discomfort and it's been amazingly simple since then. I lost 30 pounds in the first 3 months and continue to maintain/lose every month. Dr. Spiegel and his staff did everything before and after my surgery to take care of me.

No bedside manner, gives you a price for the surgery and aftercare as a self-pay patient. He doesn’t honor the self-pay price you were given. It went from $100 an appointment to $600 an appointment for after-care. After Surgery invoices in the amount of about $1500 after you paid the quoted $13,000 before surgery. No issues during surgery to elicit this additional costs.

Dr. Spiegel is right choice for many reasons: 1. He is Certified by American Board of Surgeons, by American College of Surgeons and by Bariatric Center of Excellence 2. Dr. is experienced and dedicated to weight loss surgery. 3. Personalized Weight Loss Consultation 4. Dr. doesn't have residence in his practice. He personally comes to visit you at the hospital on following morning/day after the surgery. 5. Success story from real patients 6. He answers phone calls from his patients 24/7

On my first visit, I didn't qualify due to my BMI. But for the past 5 years I have steadily gained weight, no matter what I do. I qualified on the 2nd visit a year later. I am looking forward to being a healthier me. The staff was so nice. They remembered me from my first visit. Dr. Spiegel was very nice and explained all of the different types of bariatric surgery. I chose the sleeve. I know this is going to get my diabetes back in check, help my joints, give me more energy and I can't wait
