Best Bariatric Surgeon Springfield Near Me

Dale Hall: Great 10 years out of my surgery and all’s great. Wendy - Edwards PA is also wonderful.

Kim Northcutt: I was very pleased with Dr. Edwards and his nursing staff were very caring, they all were wonderful and acted like family even if only for a moment. Thank you.

Mike N HOC: Dr. Edwards performed the Nissen fundoplication procedure as my esophagus doesn't work. Anyway it has been a couple of days and all is going pretty well.. I have nothing but nice things to say about he and his staff.

Stephanie Marshall: My husband is having problems with his gastric bypass failing, and he's trying to see a physician to find out why it's suddenly and rather dramatically failing. The nurse refused to make an appointment and told him he's just overeating and not dieting. You would think a bariatric nurse would know better than to try to shame patients.He gave up trying to find help after that.If he dies from this, that nurse should know she bears some responsibility.

Brandy Smith: Pretty disheartening experience! Felt "slammed dunked" from the moment I walked through the door. I am a past gastric bypass patient who is now experiencing some complications, doctor spent all of about 2 minutes with me, I jumped through hoops and underwent thousands of dollars in tests to figure out what was going on, I finally got hope that I would have some relief. Only to have a very rude nurse call me to tell me they couldn't do anything for me. No doctor follow up NOTHING. Maybe these doctors would be well suited in their continuing education to realize their are genuine people behind these issues and to be summarily dismissed by a nurse who can't even answer the questions is pretty frustrating. On a different note this is my second experience with Mercy in the last year ( I had a heart attack last August) and this seems to be the general consensus throughout their system. I drove 2 hours to be seen there because I thought they were one of the best. I was sorely mistaken! And to the Mercy people reading these reviews? Shame on you, you don't treat people this way!P.S. 4/13/22 thought I would add an addendum to this review. Mercy immediately responded with the "oh we care" send us an email so we can discuss this. I have followed up with an email, and 2 phone calls and no one has ever called me back or responded to my email. It's not like they don't know where to find me they have no problem hassling me for my payment on the bill which isn't even processed correctly and I won't pay a dime until they get their ducks in a row and fix it!! Unbelievable!!!

Amber Schmidt: Love everyone who took care of me.

Lindsay Devore: Dr Edwards performed my gastric bypass on 12/16/20. When I was still admitted in the hospital (for 5 days) I had to get a blood transfusion. After coming home 2 days later I was in the ER with severe pain and fever. Ended up having to have emergency surgery in Oklahoma (where I live) on Christmas Eve. I was septic at that time because of a bowel leakage. I spent a total of 25 days in the hospital and some of those days in ICU. I don’t remember the first part of my stay bc I was so sick and out of it. I had a follow up scheduled to see him during that time and his office called to confirm my appointment and I told them at that time what all had happened. The lady said she would let him know. I guess I thought I was going to get a call back to check on me. Haha. Ya right. What was I thinking?! I had to get more blood and an iron infusion. After all of this when I was able to go home I was so swollen I looked like a toad. Couldn’t walk. Couldn’t even get up from a laying position on my own. I’ve had to do wound care 3 times a week, down to two times a week, now to once a week. I had home health out 3 times a week. Physical therapy weekly. I had two iv’s going 24 hours a day for a about a month. I was finally able to go back to work the beginning of March. Now I’m severely anemic and have to have further testing done like a bone marrow biopsy next Friday. I’ve been told that I was anemic prior to surgery and I had no idea. I would avoid him if you want to have a great experience.

ASHLEY ROWAN: My mother is needing to get back to a healthier lifestyle and reached out to this place. They declined to take her. Very disappointed in a service that puts so much marketing into convincing the public they are the right pathway to a healthier life. One consult, and you turn away someone looking to improve themselves? It sounds more like the company is interested in a fast buck with people they don't need to actually invest in.

Paul Maness: Great staff, have seen the results of many clients, very impressive. I use many of their healthy snacks and they are delicious!!! Makes keeping weight off much easier.

Caitlin Ferguson: Great staff with wonderful customer service. If you are looking for accountability to help you reach your weight loss goals, look no further, the Springfield office is amazing!

Dorian Hayes: I love how the coaches check up on me weekly! Lively atmosphere, accommodating, and extremely informative. It really helps me stay motivated for my goals and with program!

Clarissa Vincent: Extremely expensive diet that doesn't work. Appointments are constantly rescheduled or the person just doesn't show up for your scheduled meeting at all. No guidance just expensive supplements and a meal plan. After two weeks zero results and two appointment issues. Was asked to be contacted by someone in regard to my issues and was ignored. Buyer beware as you will be out hundreds of dollars for nothing.

Ralph Baldi: You need to loose weight. You want great service. You want great people to help you on the trip. You will have to go far away to find folks better. They will help and support you Al the way.

Lorella Moss: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityThe young ladies that works there are amazing. I went starting at 178 pounds and ended at 140 pounds!! I learned how to eat to keep it off. I am also happy to know that I can go back and get more products if needed!! Happy
