Thomas Lavin
"I have not met Dr. Lavin yet, but I have met with one of his associates Dr. Glenn Steeb at the seminar. He was very informative with information regarding gastric bypass surgery. He made me felt like I was doing the right thing for myself by deciding to have the surgery. The staff at Surgical Specialist of LA are GREAT!!! especially Penny. She is a very sweet and patient person with me no matter how many times I call her with little crazy questions. There is nothing that I can say bad about the staff there because they are GREAT!!! Maria (Nure Practitioner)is the person that you will see when you go in for your first visit at the office. She is a very nice. She makes sure that you have everything that you need to start your journey to have the surgery (Bloodwork, Sleep Study, Psychological Evaluation and Physical Therapy Baseline). She STRESSES the importance of after care and how it will greatly benefit you for life without it you won't achieve your goal. Maria also makes sure that you know the risks and effects that are involved with the surgery. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate the team members at Sugical Specialist of LA with a 10+. The doctors there have surgical competence and bedside manners. That's very important to have both, because patients put their trust in the hands of the doctors at the Surgical Specialist of LA. I would recommend anyone to the Surgical Specialist of LA Team, because they are very professional and they care about the patients they come in contact with in their office. "

Serge Celestin
"Dr. Celestin is a very good psychiatrist. The only problem I had with Dr. Celestin was the fact that I had to keep asking him to repeat his self, because he had an accent. Other than that I think a is a very good psychiatrist."

Jessica Montegudo
"Dr.Montegudo is a very good doctor and listener. She listen to what I had to say about my weight and the problems I'm beginning to have with my weight as well. I even told her that I wanted to go through with WLS, because I have tried all types of diets and they all failed. She didn't try to change my mind like other doctors try to do. After letting me express my concerns with my weight she gave me her diagnosis of my situation and gave me a referral to see a surgeon. Dr. Montegudo never once made me feel uncomfortable about myself. If someone needed a doctor to have as their PCP I would recommend that they see Dr. Montegudo."
