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.

Life Changing Promises Delivered
I met Dr Z when I was 315 lbs. I was suffering from IBS, depression, and anxiety. Thankfully otherwise I was fairly healthy. After being told by my physician that I needed to have surgery. I was terrified and waited 4 years to pull the trigger. Thankfully I did and now a year and a half out, I am a completely new woman. The woman that was locked up inside me is out. I race dirtbikes, go kayaking, I wear sexy clothes. I can stand naked in the mirror without shame… I can stand naked in front of my spouse without shame or embarrassment. I don’t over heat in the summer, I am always cold though. But Dr Z walked in the room and said “you’ll be high school skinny.” I didn’t take him seriously because results vary, but he did exactly what he said he’s do. In one year, I weighed 145 from 315. I’m up to 155/160 as my maintenance and in a size 4-6. Dr Z gave me my life back. No more IBS, no more anxiety no more depression no more embarrassment or self inflicted emotional abuse.

Dr. Z did my husband's surgery and we couldn't be more pleased with the service we received. He is very thorough & compassionate. He took the time to discuss with us the problems my husband was having and to explain the procedure and what to expect afterwards. He didn't hesitate to take the extra time to make sure all of our questions were answered.

Dr. Zavadzkas was the rudest an most unprofessional dr. I have been to, it seemed as if he did not care about me, he never introduced hisself and provided my service with force an was very painful. He did not answer any of the questions that I asked of him and he provided me with no information that I was looking for as if he was ready to get off work an go home, I will never recieve any kind of treatment from him again An will make sure I spread the word around
