Philosophy of Care

“I chose to become a laparoscopic specialist because I knew that minimally invasive surgery was at the forefront of surgical innovation. It’s technically challenging for the surgeon and offers improved results and enhanced recovery time for the patient.

“I enjoy both the intellectual and psychological aspects of my interactions with my weight-loss surgery patients. It’s extremely rewarding to see the gratitude expressed by former patients when we are able to help them literally transform their lives through weight loss. Everything changes for them – their health, their social interactions, often even their career. And they are among the most thankful patients you will find. It’s tremendously gratifying for me as a surgeon to play a part in that transformation.

“My goals are to stay at the forefront of surgery, provide leading-edge training and provide patients with the best and most up-to-date care.”

Very satisfied with their customer service. Also love how attentive they are with you

Good service and good workers

The Dr and stuff were very friendly and very helpful. They answered my questions quickly.

I really liked how the doctor just sat and let me talk and he was able to talk. It was very kind and patient and I enjoyed that. I really appreciated it. I would have liked to have known more about the BMI and what that scale was. I forgot to ask about that and how that cool scale that I stepped up on, how I could use that and leverage that. But otherwise, it was so terrific. It wasn't his fault. I just forgot to ask. Thanks.

I've been a patient of Dr. Ewing for almost 20 years now, so he's all right with me. I have no complaints. Thank you.
