I had gastric sleeve surgery and hiatal hernia repair at the same time. I have no complications and am back to work a week later. I highly recommend Dr. Wagner. I have only one small scar around my belly button. The staff at Dr. Wagner's office are very responsive and you never have to wait for a call back.

Dr. Wagner has been a blessing in my life. My surgery and recovery were much easier than I had expected. His bedside manner is superb. His office staff is the best I have encountered at any doctors office I have visited. I really can't say enough good things about him and HOAB.
