Kate is beyond amazing. If you have her as your dietitian you are blessed. She’s happy, supportive, loving, and very professional. She has helped me a lot through my journey. Always looking forward to hearing from her.

I wanted to express my appreciation for what Dr. Bobby and his staff have done for me! I started my new way of life in January 2023, my weight was 444. I’m a big man 6’5” but that was way to much weight! After breaking my back in 2017 in two places and crushing my spinal cord, I couldn’t walk for almost a year. The weight just started piling on from point on. I tried everything you have heard of with little or no success. Lose 20 pounds, gain it back plus another 10-15 pounds. It was a vicious and depressing thing to live through! Dr. Bobby has given me hope and a light at the end of a very dark long tunnel. As of 8/24/2023 I am already down to 384 pounds. More to go, but 60 pounds is no joke!! Thank you so much Dr.Bobby and Staff!!!

I just want to say that I had surgery with this man as my doctor. When I questioned the $2500 dollar payment that I had to make prior to my surgery I was suddenly treated differently. That fee was for nothing just so that he could make extra money. From that point on I no longer mattered some how my file was lost and I received no after care. What kind of doctor does surgery and gives no after care. I have had many problems because of this. So all I can say is beware and demand the care you deserve!

Dr.Bobby has the hands of an angel. I tried every diet,to no avail. I needed this jump start tool. I started HW-448,6 months out I am 280lbs. I was scared on the start of surgery,terrified. I had a great experience,blessed zero complications. It worked out great. WISH I DID IT TEN YEARS AGO. Dr. Bobby is the answer.

I've never felt better since my weight loss journey with Dr Bobby began. Today I am free of my high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol thanks to Dr. Bobby. He is very skilled and while I braced for the worst during surgery my actual experience was anything but. No regrets for the procedure and no regrets for my care.
