Right now I am in the process of Barriatric Sleeve surgery and have found the process to be delightful and very organized. It gives me peace of mind that I am in good care.

I couldn't ask for a better surgeon and a better support team! The wrap around services are wonderful and I am treated as a whole person and with a great deal of respect. Everyone takes the time to talk with me and ask questions and answer any that I have thoroughly and without judgment. The only regret I have is not seeking their help out much sooner!!!

Dr Custer is terrible. He did well in the surgery but couldn't handle my complications afterwards. Not to mention every time I come back I have to wait an hour after my appointment time to get to a room then wait another hour. This place is a joke

Dr Custer was great! He preformed surgery on me about a year ago and I have had zero complications. He saved my life!
