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.

One of the most loving professional I’ve ever met was by my side the entire surgery and after she changed my life and if you do exactly what she tells you to do you will see a difference thank you Dr. Paayal Mehta sincerely Sade

i had my surgery almost 5 years ago and i have never had a complication nor did i ever gain weight again. i stood at 125 lbs for the past 5 years now and i have never been more healthier and fit. Having the bariatric surgery with Dr. Mehta was the best decision i ever made! My health and lifestyle have improved dramatically and i recommend her to everyone.

I just want to make Dr Mehta happy. That is why I've stayed on track and I'm now over 3 years out. She is the nicest and most caring Dr I've ever had, and I just want to make her proud of me. That's truly how I feel. The staff is so friendly and supportive as well. I'm so glad I found this office!

She is by far one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She is honest, trustworthy, knowledgable, and has a great bedside manner. Anyone considering having weight loss surgery should not hesitate to use her. I'm so glad I found her. I had sleeve on 12/2/15 and have had amazing results. I have referred numerous people to her. Dr. Mehta and all of her staff are the best. She gave me my life back and for that I will forever be grateful.
