I was referred to Dr. Wohlgemuth by Dr. Via years ago who was a colleague of Dr. Wohlgemuth's wife. The doctor performed an emergency appendectomy and did follow up care through my recovery. The surgery went well with the absolute minimum scarring and rapid recovery time. He took the time to listen to my concerns and addressed them accordingly. He was professional in every sense of the word which gave me complete and utmost confidence in him. He is definitely a doctor that I would recommend to anyone needing the services he provides.

Dr. Wohlgemuth is such a caring and gentle doctor. He has been my bariatric surgeon since 2008. First with the lap-band and then a revision to the sleeve. He has always did what he knew was best for me and my situation. Had a few complications after the sleeve but always knew I was in the best hands possible. He is the best

Sr. Wholgemuth was my surgeon when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. He was caring, supportive, and very, very kind. I am eight years out now, and still look forward to our yearly follow-up appointments.
