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.”

Okay, the doctor's care was perfect, but it wasn't just a few questions. It was direct care because he needs to see other results from another doctor. I have an appointment on Monday the 6th and I'm going to have a colonoscopy. So it was, so to speak, just a routine visit. He explained to me that he can't tell me anything right now and that he... needed his tests. That was my visit, my medical care. They took my height and weight, nothing more. I can tell you that. Thank you.

Dr. Ewing was amazing. He was also my surgeon and I could not believe how comfortable and well I felt from after surgery in the hospital to my days at home. It is a week today I had my surgery and I know it would not had turned out to be this great for me if I had another surgeon. Dr Ewing is a 5 star surgeon.

The provider answers my questions and he explains the do and dont , I appreciate that .

Doctor Ewing was personable and very respectful, I would recommend him to anyone

We extremely appreciate his integrity and honesty.
