I had weight loss surgery by another surgeon. I’m having complications. I went for second opinion. Dr Brashear’s weight loss patients have done awesome. So I chose to go to him. He has been great with me. He has me back on track and didn’t put me down. Recommend him for weight loss surgery any day

Here at the end of the year, I think it’s fair to thank Dr Brashear for helping me get my life back. I had the sleeve surgery done by him. I’ve lost 100 pounds in 4 months. I followed the diet just like he told me too, cause he hounded me to make sure I follow the diet so nothing happens. I did that. I feel great. I can move. I can play with my grandkids. Thank you

I has a sleeve weight loss surgery by Dr Brashear. I was nervous. He went over the surgery in detail. He took a lot of time going over Postop diet and to ensure I follow it so there was no bad complications. I listened. I have lost over 90 pounds. I feel great. Too doc to me

I was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. I’m scared. I was told to go see Dr Brashear because he has helped so many colon cancer patients. I did so. He was straight forward with everything. Didn’t hold back about my diagnosis. I went with surgery. He did it with the robot. I feel great. Quick recovery. Lymph nodes are clear. I trust him without hesitation
