Mississippi Institute of Weight Loss Surgery
“As someone who has worked in the medical field for over 35 years, I can confidently say I have never experienced the level of exceptional, individualized care that I received from Dr. Balder and his staff. I recently had a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck after losing 180 lbs, and I am absolutely thrilled with my results after taking off 18 lbs of loose skin.
What truly sets Dr. Balder apart is how much your personal story matters to him and his team. You are genuinely heard. Before booking, I hesitated after reading a few negative reviews online. However, I realized those reviews described the sad reality of how overweight people are often treated—judged or made to feel invisible. Crucially, those experiences were due to the staff at the previous hospital where he practiced, NOT Dr. Balder himself. He no longer practices there, and it shows!
I had my surgery at Our Lady of the Lake in Slidell, LA, and the experience was incredible. It felt like a boutique hospital with highly personalized treatment from start to finish. I absolutely love Dr. Balder and his current staff. If you are looking for a skilled, compassionate surgeon, look no further. I will be submitting photos and/or videos at a later date.”
