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.

Super Great Guy...
Dr. Sebastien explains what procedures hes doing. As well as the outcomes that may happen after the surgery. He is a gentle gaint and his knowledge and expertise is amazing...I received a bariatric sleeve from him, and I have experience nothing but a great experience. His staff at the surgery center are amazing, they made me feel like family and that they had known me for years...if I ever had to get anything else done if would definitely be him I would go to. I love him, thanks for letting me see a part of me I felt I'd lost forever ...

I had surgery for a hiatal hernia, performed by Dr. Sebastian on June 14, 2022. The very next day, I already felt a huge improvement. It's a 6-week recovery of eating soft, pureed foods, and after only 4 weeks, I already felt 100%. The procedure was painless. The 5 incisions were so small that they were almost invisible. Dr. Sebastian did an outstanding job. He is the best. I am extremely happy with the outcome.

Lacking in compassion. He confirmed I did not need surgery, but slightly reinjured me in the process. Do not recommend if you are LGBTQ.

I've been in 4 hospitals in 4 states and I've never had an experience like this with a doctor ever!!!! I had my gallbladder removed and its been 8 days later, and I haven't had to take one thing for pain, no pain medicine at ALL! I also have not felt any pain from the gas they blew into me. His nurse crew and everyone was the best ever and it's the best experience I've ever had in my whole life. This is the first time in my whole life that I had a surgery and have never had to take pain killers. That's incredible. I recommend him and his crew to everyone and they all deserve 1,000 stars in my eyes!!!! Love and blessings to all of them FOREVER! WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.!!! Love~ Tina~ <3 <3 <3 <3

This has been long overdue since 2015 i had the Gatric by pass (Roux-en Y). It change my whole life. No more insulin. Dr. Sebastian is a caring and skill professional. He knows his job and he do it well, he has a quite personality sometimes. I have not had any problem from the surgery. I love the change and if i had to do it all over again he would be my first choice. I prefer skills and knowledge over an reception being nice to me or not. He is the man.

I would not recommend Dr. Sebastien to anyone who wants to have a long healthy life. He does not listen to patients, and he doesn't care if the surgery is right for you. He only cares about performing as many surgeries as possible and he doesn't care about the outcome. Dr. Sebastien does not clearly communicate the procedure and refuses to discuss possible complications. If you do have complications, he will not be honest about what happened or the long-term consequences of the problem.
