Center for Weight Loss Surgery at Columbia University

Staff is nice. My surgeon, Dr Guzman wants to make sure to answer your questions, doesn’t want you to leave without having any doubt or question. Thanks to Gio for advising me on what surgery to have, and for setting me with an awesome surgeon. They see both great!

Dr. Bessler is a down to earth surgeon and very experienced, which I certainly appreciated. Gio is equally awesome and really supportive. While the office staff is responsive, their demeanor can be hard to take at times (dismissive, short) which made it a challenge to be a patient of the center. I hope management has worked with the staff on this issue (I am a former patient from 2019), seeing how communications happen much more with office staff than it does with the surgeon who you only see and speak to occasionally.

2014 I presented Dr Bessler will one of the crazy cases you could imagine I asked him to reverse my gastric bypass surgery I had in 2009 that I went from 426 to about 175. Then return Dr Bessler and Gio I had sleeve in 2017 at 386 now back down to 190 thanks for excellent care and bed side manner it goes along way.
