Thanks to Dr. Uchal my surgery was successful with no complications. Everything went exactly as he said it would. I followed his instructions & all post op guidelines provided by the Dieticians. My husband & I first met Dr. Uchal at the St. Vincent's Bariatric Seminar & knew we had found the right doctor. He doesn't sugar coat anything! He tells you exactly what you need to know & what is expected of you so you can make an informed decision. We had complete confidence in his surgical ability & his knowledge of all bariatric procedures...the good, the bad, and the ugly... Thank You Dr. Uchal, I am very happy

Dr Uchal is an amazing doctor. I had bariatric surgery and he did a very good job on me. He was very compassionate towards me and cares very much for his patients. He has great bedside manner and goes the extra miles to make sure you are taken care of. I highly recommend and would trust him for any surgery.

Just another male Dr. who suffers from a "God" complex. If you want a doctor who will listen to you and respond as if you have a brain, do not go to Dr. Uchal.

I was sent to Dr. Uchal due to my previous doctor no longer practicing. I must say it was the best experience for me since the first day. My initial visit I was having real bad complications and had been back and forth between doctors and emergency room visits with no answer. Once I explained to Dr Uchal the symptoms I was having he sent me for testing as he knew what the problem was. The next step, I had to have the lap band removed and convert to the sleeve. I have been successful in losing weight almost at the target goal. He is very knowledgeable and attentive. As well as the staff. I recommend him to all who is looking for weight loss surgery. I’ve received top notch care. I received personal call afterwards from him to make sure all was well. You can’t get any better than that!
