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.

I do believe this staff and Dr. Bessler are highly qualified, but if you have a problem, best of luck trying to get someone to call you back. I had gastric sleeve surgery in April 2019 and the weight loss aspect was successful, but now I cannot seem to stop the weight loss and am still losing. I am weak, almost unable to work, and not happy. While some staff are concerned, the dietician has no time for answers. I think in many ways this is a high volume practice. My 3 month follow up was missed entirely, and no help. I had three close friends and colleagues who had the same surgery, all in different locations, and none have the problem I have. All have maintained their weight loss and even gained a few. I am now too thin and weak, and unable to gain any strength or muscle mass. No one in the office seems all that concerned. I have asked for an appointment, and hope to hear back soon.

Dr Marc Bessler did my gastric bypass 2007 and I was very satisfied by all procedures. I do recommend him to anyone looking for a great surgeon.

Dr. Bessler has several patients who have had complications after their surgeries. He also has students performing highly sensitive surgeries which are causing life threatening infections. Please look into these serious claims.

I had Bilateral Hernia Surgery done by Dr. Marc Bessler. I was highly impressed by himself and his staff. The Dr. has an exceptionally pleasant & caring personality. He listened patiently to all my questions and answered them all very clearly. His calm personality is also very helpful and reassuring to the patient. I'm glad I chose Dr. Bessler as my sergoen. I couldn't have made a better choice! He actually came highly recommended by a few local referral agencies. Now I know why!!
