Philosophy of Care

“I always knew I wanted to be a doctor and began pursuing my training right after high school. As I was completing my surgical residency, laparoscopic surgery was just coming to the forefront. I recognized immediately that it was the wave of the future and that I wanted to be on the leading edge of minimally invasive procedures.

What I find most rewarding about bariatric surgery is that it allows me to develop lifelong relationships with my patients. Observing the change in a person’s health from this one intervention is amazing – and the change is almost immediate. It impacts one’s health and personality and changes the way a person is perceived. It’s gratifying to be a part of that.

I think a lot of people are fearful about weight-loss surgery because they have received misinformation. That’s why we focus on educating our prospective patients right from the start. We want them to know that weight loss surgery is a good and safe option in the hands of the right surgeon.”

Very excellent. From the beginning, when he treated me, I realized he was a good surgeon, an excellent surgeon. And he's such an excellent surgeon that when I entered the operating room and they told me, "Get on that stretcher," I don't know if... I went up or down, or they lifted me up. I didn't know anything else about myself. I left. And until now, I feel very grateful and very good about that surgeon. Excellent. Not at all afraid, neither at the beginning nor at the end. So, I am with God's grace, and with him as well. God bless you, and thank you very much.

My Doctor is the best. He listens carefully n advises to the best.?

Dr. Trivedi was very professional, very nice. The staff was very nice. The nurses were good. So it was a pretty good experience.

The doctor was an extremely good doctor. He made me feel comfortable. He discussed everything. He made it simple for myself and the family that was there with me. The discussion, when I went first to up to now, I am extremely satisfied with all that he has said to me and all that he has done. The team of nurses, the professionals were extremely good also. It's a great team. And I would not hesitate to recommend him and the hospital and the team to any family member or friend or any person who asks me a question about my procedure and what to expect and how to do it. It was extremely simple.

Dr. Trivedi was great. He was professional, extremely caring and very honest. He is very easy to talk to and encourages you to ask any question that you may have. I am very grateful for Dr Trivedi and his staff.
