I’ve had the pleasure of working with this wonderful man for many years. Not only is he a phenomenal surgeon, but he really cares about his patients, and everyone that works with him. I have never once seen him be inappropriate with any person/patient. He has always been very professional, and concerned with everyone in his path. If you’re looking for a general/bariatric surgeon, see Dr. Felix. We’ve worked with him, and have trusted him with our own lives.

Dr. Felix cut open a patient's breast because he claimed that her breast fluid was "murky". The patient was awake during the surgery, and he felt her up. The nurse protested what he was doing. There was nothing wrong with the patient, and the surgery was not needed. He wanted to harm the patient.

The waiting room was filled with patients.many were from miles away so I felt very fortunate that the best Bariatric surgeon was in my backyard. The office staff is busy but always friendly. There is a ton of education which makes going through this less frightening. Dr Felix was to the point, funny . I am glad to say surgery went very well and l was up and about within hrs of surgery. I feel lucky to have chosen Dr Felix for my doctor.

Surgery went great and he went the extra mile whenI needed it. Glad my daughter suggested I go to Fresno even though it is a long drive from home.

When you have a complicated case you need the best. Dr. Felix is that man. Friendly staff, helpful with all your insurance issues. One appointment for out of town patients who phone ahead and get everthing done. Why would anyone go to a second rate hospital and take their chances with someone who has done fewer cases with more complications. Dr. Felix is the best
