I’d like to thank Dr. Fass and his staff for the excellent service they provided while I was going through such a stressful time. I already rated Dr Fass on Yelp but I would be very remiss if I didn’t include his awesome staff.

I thought giving all 5's would look phony, so I gave Wait Time a 4 star for having to wait 5 minutes. I would like to expand on Treatment Results. It's been 3 weeks since surgery, and my blood pressure is normal, even though I reduced my meds to 1/2. Also, my blood sugar is at or below 100 whereas before, it was in the 120 to 130 range. I have lost 30 pounds, and still losing. There was no pain from the operation, and eating has been convenient. I couldn't ask for better results. - .W

Everything went well. Still recuperating two days after surgery. Some swelling at the hernia site, applying ice pack. - .S

The overall experience has been excellent. My only disappointment is that I called to get a release to exercise for the gym, and Haley said she'd have the nurse call me back. I didn't get a call back.Dr. Fass had instructed me to exercise, so I joined Gold's Gym. They require a doctor's release for patients who have illnesses, like high blood pressure and diabetes.No big deal. I'll call my primary care provider. - .W

I knew Dr. Fass would be very good because he was recommended by Dr. Geyer, and I wasn't disappointed. I was very pleased to find that Dr. Fass had an opening in the near future. I was astonished to find that I woke up to no pain at all and that I didn't need any pain meds after the surgery. My recovery seems to be much faster than I expected. Dr. Fass wth his robo surgery would seem to be a major breakthrough for hernia repair. - .S

- MARGARET M SIFUENTES

Dr. Fass is a wonderful doctor. Since I am having surgery and also have many health issues, other than want I needed surgery for (ie. One of which is Lupus which can cause inflammation and weaken the immune system) I was nervous and he put a LOT of my anxiety at easy. He provided me with information about the disorder I have and why surgery is going to be the best option also because it is causing internal bleeding. He answered ALL of my questions and went over all my concerns with great bedside manner and I felt great knowing that he would be doing my surgery. He even showed me one of the test they did to show me why surgery needs to be done and how much better my life will be after as well! I have already said to my family members if they EVER have to have surgery that Dr. Fass is the doctor I would recommend! - .H

One suggestion: offer patient a copy of test results at visit. I like to keep mine in case anything gets lost in the elelctronic medical record. - .O

Excellent doctor - BILLY SCHWAB

I am writing ten days post-Gastric Sleeve Surgery performed by a team of exceptionally skilled medical professionals, with Dr. Fass conducting the surgical symphony at St. Davids Medical Center. Today, 03/04/19, my weight is 331pounds. On the day of surgery, I was 24 pounds heavier. Over the past twenty years, I have received advanced care for chronic health issues from many doctors. From the day I met with Dr. Fass for the initial consultation to the present, I know that choosing Southwest Bariatric Surgeons Group to help me start and sustain this life-long, life-changing journey is one of the best decisions I have made regarding my healthcare. The Laparoscopic Surgery was so seamless that it almost seemed like a non-event. Told that I would be intubated and, remembering how awful my previous tube assisted breathing was, I had some pre-op anxiety. In post-op recovery, I awakened to find the device discontinued and, I was breathing on my own. The incisions are tiny, and I had only low-level pain, however, there was the expected bloating and soreness. I suffered more from stumping my big toe than I have after this surgery and during recovery. I already feel changes in my body and mind. Dr. Fass's time and expertise are in such demand that I sometimes thought our meetings were too rushed, limiting the time for me to ask questions and to be engaged in relevant dialog. That perfect balance of art and science was not present. More finessing of the artistic component, a real personal presentation, and a warmer tone could give the patient a more comforting and informative experience. My insurance did not cover a prescription given to me upon discharge from the hospital. I went without for four days while the healthcare bureaucracy churned out the right meds. Perhaps, if an RN, Nurse Practioner or Physician's Assistance shadowed the doctor the issues as mentioned earlier would not exist. Overall, I am confident that Dr. Fass and his support staff have provided me a high level of Bariatric Health Management. I recommend the practice without hesitation. Thanks to this professional team, "Morbidly Obesity" will soon no longer appear on my Patient Profile. To all prospective, current and former patients of Southwest Bariatric Surgeons and, especially Steven Fass, MD, let's raise our protein shakes and toast these good folks, "Hip, Hips, go Away." - .N

He explain exactly what he was going to do for my hernia surgery. I feel confident in my choice of my physician. - DENISE BAEZ

No doubt, Dr. Fass is an excellent surgeon. I did not have to stay overnight at the hospital and the results are working well. Recovery went faster and much better than I expected. The program was comprehensive and efficient before and after surgery. Dr. Fass is very patient and answers all questions in detail. So far, my weight loss is successful and I am so glad I went to Dr. Fass for this procedure. - .F

All of my appointments are handled very professionally. I feel like Doctor listens to my concerns and answers my questions completely and in a way that I understand. He makes sure I understand any new instructions and gives me a written copy of instructions. Always appreciate the service I get from my Doctor and the staff. - .P

I was especially impressed by the friendliness of everyone, their eagerness to put me at my ease, and to answer all my questions, Dr. Fass took his time explaining everything, and acted as though he had all the time in the world to concentrate on me; unlike some doctor visits in which the patient feels they are in a hurry to move on to the next patient...The staff was well prepared; they had all my records researched, and even prior visits with other doctors or concerning other surgeries in the past were there and available for Dr. Fass to go over with me.I was impressed with the professionalism shown by the doctor and the staff.

My overall experience from my breast surgery over the past two years has been very good. I have every confidence in Dr. Fass and his medical staff.However, may I mention some external conditions that might make my visits to Dr. Fass's office an easier experience?First, if I have an appointment at the Central Office, parking is ALWAYS a challenge.Second, this morning I was awakened by my phone a few minutes past 5:00 a.m. to participate in feedback from my visit last week. After being awakened and reading the website I was supposed to visit, I did not respond. Being able to make a response on my computer is preferable to me, rather than trying to do it from my phone.Thank you,Ruth LaNell Webb - .W

I like, I am sure, most people was afraid of the surgery. Dr. Fass and all the team did a good job of explaining to me step by step everything that would happen. I was in an out of surgery before I realized with few if any drawbacks. The anesthesiologist was very reassuring and told me I would go to sleep and when I woke up I would be in recovery. The recovery staff were all very nice and reassuring. The followups with Dr. Fass along with any questions I had were always addressed in a very professional manner. I would recommend this surgery for anyone having trouble with weight loss and morbidly obese as I was. I can not say enough about Dr. Fass and his team.

I was referred to Dr. Fass by my gastroenterologist for gallbladder surgery. Had already done some research on-line and Dr. Fass was at the top of my list based on other patients' reviews and his experience. This was my first surgery ever, so I was very anxious. When I met with Dr. Fass, he explained how he would do surgery, recovery time, etc. I had the surgery 3 days ago and I'm feeling great! - .B

There have been postoperative complications but all things independent I believe of the quality of the surgery itself. Little soreness at the incisions or at the location of the hernia. Still some swelling at the point of the hernia but it has been only four weeks. - .W

I was nervous; having weight loss surgery is a life changing decision. I had been contemplating this for a couple of years, but after many failed attempts of trying to do this on my own, I finally decided that I should at least look into it. Everyone was so friendly and courteous. From my initial contact with Christi on the phone to the ladies in the front office. Dr. Fass answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable about making my decision. There was no pressure and no judgement. I look forward to having my surgery and I'm confident I'm with the right professionals to help me become healthier and happier. - .C

Very professional,and excellent service. Thanks For everything. - .M

Dr. Steven Fass is very efficient and curtious. His bedside manner is impeccable and he wastes no time.

Dr Fass is a very good doctor and a very nice person. However, receiving a non-urgent text at 1:45 AM really irritated the heck out of me. A text alert is just as bad as as a phone call alert.

Dr. Fass really listened to me and took the time to explain things & answer my questions. It was a very pleasant experience. - .C

I had some difficulty because the surgery was pushed back an hour because of the availability of space for the procedure.. That meant that I had to endure the discomfort of the gurney and of the IV in my hand for an additional hour because it was inserted in my hand before it was learned about the delay. Also, I experienced a panic attack that may have been brought on by low blood sugar. The surgery was scheduled at 1:00 pm and pushed back to 2:00pm and I had been fasting since 8:00pm with no liquids. I couldn't stop crying and I was very disturbed. I understand that things like this happen, but if I there had been some forewarning on having to wait, I could have waited in more comfort in the waiting room and not have had to endure the IV for so long. One nurse offered to reinsert the IV, but I think it would still have bothered me anyway. I do appreciate the care I received. - .M

Everything has gone rather smooth so far. I am just waiting for my insurance company to finalize the paperwork. - .F

Dr. Fass and his staff are the most amazing people I have ever met. They are caring, understanding, and loving. You can't ask for a better group of people. - .K

Being diagnosed with cancer at 42 was an extreme shock and unbelievable. I was lucky enough to be referred to Dr. Fass and his staff.

Dr. Fass and all of the office staff are absolutely wonderful. Dr. Fass shared an article from a medical journal with me on how bariatric surgery can impact family relationships.

This was a great experience given the situation.

I would recommend anyone to use this process. - .D

Very professionally treated. - .M

Dr.Fass listened to me and my family and took us as real people with valuable input, carried out his expertise with the whole well being in mind.We found Dr. Fass to be professional yet compassionate at the same time. We didn't have to have touchy feely but we did appreciate his level of compassion and can't emphasize that enough. He knew what had to be done and took it on with confidence that gave us much assurance. Dr.Fass checked in everyday for 9 days straight and that was very reassuring. We really appreciate EVERYTHING up to this point, almost 2 weeks out, and are confident that he will continue to lead us through this process with the same care and professionalism. My entire family is very grateful. - .C

My scheduled procedure had to be moved up to an earlier date because I was in so much pain. The staff and Dr. Fass was so accommodating and did everything possible to make sure I got relief. For that I say THANK YOU. You’re the best! - .T

Dr. Fass, Jenna, and the entire staff are AWESOME! It is a pleasure to come to your office...one doctor appointment I never dread. I hope to continue a long and successful relationship with you all. - .C

I was very happy with the care and cant wait to join the bariatric jurniory - .W

Dr Fass is kind and caring And his team are as well. So happy that I found him in Austin after my move from Houston, and wish I had taken his advice 2 years ago to have the Gastric Sleeve after he took my failed lap band out. Can not recommend him more! - .S

The staff makes me feel like more than just s patient!! - .J

Very impressed with my entire experience. Dr Fass was straightforward, and was able to get my issues taken care of expeditiously. The staff was also very professional which made my experience that much more pleasant. Could not have asked for more! I felt like I was being taken care as if I were family. Thanks again Dr. Fass! - .G

Everyone was very nice and professional really treated v ery well - EDNA DUPLUSH

Very pleasant experience. - .R

No problems. Dr Fass is experienced and conscientious. - .O

Dr. Fass is caring, compassionate, and kind. The doctor takes interested in his patients, we are more than just as a patient, he interacts with me, and remembers me as an individual. I appreciates that he tells me what I need to know in plain language and in a forthright manner. He is very thorough and reviews information with the patients. I appreciate that at the end of the appointment, he always asks "Do you have any questions for me?". I am very impressed with him and his entire staff. - .L

I am a new patient with Dr Fass. His staff have been fantastic gathering insurance details and explaining it to me. First met Dr Fass at the info program. He talks fast but was willing to answer all questions. I’m now working on the insurance requirements and will have my surgery in the Spring. - .H

The office visit went very well. Dr Fass explained in detail the processes required and gave me choice to decide which option to choose to repair my hernia. - MARIA ZUNIGA

It was very good, in fact excellent. Randy - RANDAL D SNIDER

Dr. Fass and his staff are very friendly, fast in service and very helpful. Thanks so much. - .S

Great service - .M

The Dr, Staff and everyone in the office was very nice. - .F

My experience with Dr Fass and staff was first rate. Initially my lapband and treatment worked. But due to issues I had with the band and my own lack of perseverance, I gained my weight back. I was having reflux and vomiting for over a year. I didn’t take advantage of Dr Fass and staff and the therapy they could have provided. I had moved away from Austin, so the travel plus the cost of office appointments kept me from the help I needed. - C.B

Couldn't be happier with the results so far...still working on the reduction. Thanks so much to you and the staff for making me feel good about myself again. - R.T

My visit with Dr. Fass was very pleasant and he gave me reassurance I needed to move forward with my decision to do the Gastric Sleeve. - M.C

My experience was excellent. After having a bad experience at another doctor’s office, it was such a great feeling to see that the staff cared about me as patient. Prior to my appointment, I called to inquire about the doctor and to discuss a situation that I was in. I had the privilege to talk Jenna who was very understanding and kind. She guided me to speak to Denee who would be helping me with my situation. Denee was very informative and kind. She took the time to listen to me and was willing to help me find a solution. When I left a message, she replied promptly. Both Jenna and Denee have great customer service. I looked forward to go to my appointment. The day of the appointment, it was such a great feeling to know that the staff expected me. Everyone was friendly, starting from the front office staff to everyone who worked in the back. During my appointment, Jenna came in with a positive attitude and she definitely lights up the room. She made me feel relaxed and knew I was at the right place. Dr. Fass is an excellent Dr.; he was informative, understanding and made me feel welcomed. I appreciated that he was taking me in as his new patient. The nutritional class was informative and the Dr. was very thorough. He reviewed the material and emphasized on how to be successful long term and to always stay hydrated. Overall, my experience from this office was top notch. It was beyond my expectations. As a patient, I felt cared for and the office staff and Drs. make you feel so welcomed. I live in Sugar Land Texas, and the drive to see the doctor and the staff is worth the 3-hour drive. - L.L

As I get to know the staff, I find they are efficient and very professional.. - C.G

Dr. Fass was very informative and efficient, yet still very courteous and approachable. I do not hope to have to utilize his services again, but should I, it is a comfort to know that he never stops learning and better utilizing his practice. - R.B

Good job on the surgery, office visit was first rate, Dr. Fass is easy to talk to and very professional. - R.A

Very nice and professional practice - D.A

Everything was great! Dr. Fass also takes the time to answer any questions you have. I loved that because this was my first procedure ever! (Gallbladder removal) so I never felt rushed or that my questions weren’t important. - D.C

Dr Fass has always been very welcoming and answered all my questions. - M.C

Great job. I highly recommend you and your staff.Thank you!Pat - PATRICK C HARKINS

Love the staff - S.B

I originally went to Dr Fass for a different treatment than he ultimately recommended. I’m so pleased he asked the questions he did and that I listened to his recommendations. My health is outstanding. My endocrinologist is so pleased with my results that she’s looking at my treatment plan for her patients. - C.C

Dr. Fass did an excellent job treating me. - M.L

So far, so good. Walked 2 miles today. Did sit-ups and push ups. Some discomfort but not bad. I chose not to take the pain pills I was prescribed. Glad I had this procedure now and not 20 years ago. Think I had the right provider. - S.D

Dr. Fass is excellent and his staff is second to none. I cannot report to you how important it felt at 64 years of age and having a second surgery that I was able to have Dr. Fass as my surgeon again. He fixed me once and now has fixed me twice. I have nothing to say other than Thank You to Dr. Fass for his second surgery and I hope that I do not have to return for the third. But, if I had to do it again, I would choose Dr. Steven Fass any day of the week... Thank You Sincerely - C.P

I received the sleeve with Dr Fass performing the surgery.My surgery was a great success going from 310 to 178 in the first year.The Staff is very kind and when not able to answer a question would go to whoever could if possible. Appointment times were easy scheduled with a reminder call also Great place to have surgery if needed - C.R

I am so Thankful to Dr. Fass for the care he and his staff have given me before and after my weight loss surgery. I am so thankful that I was able to have the surgery it has truly been a blessing. - M.J

I want to thank Dr. Fass and his staff for fitting me in to his schedule on very short notice. It saved me from having to go to the emergency room and potentially much higher cost. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.If I ever need my gallbladder removed again (or anything else removed or fixed), I'll certainly look up Dr. Fass! And I'll refer others.Thanks,Lee - L.D

Dr. Fass was attentive, caring and knowledgeable. I went into the consult with a list of questions, and didn't have to ask most of them because he answered them up front out of his experience. I saw him for a general surgery and appreciated his care at every step, including the follow up call the next day and the follow up visit the following week. - A.B

I am a bariatric patient. Dr. Fass has helped me lose 80 pounds so far. He is a fine, talented human with a medical doctorate. I am very hlad he's my surgeon. - B.R

Dr. Fass is a treasure. His staff are always friendly. - B.R

Dr. Fass was great! He called to follow up a few times after my procedure.Great medical staff as well. - T.L

Very convenient scheduling and very friendly staff. Also, very helpful staff. - M.S

I went to Dr. Fass after several friends had good experiences with the bariatric surgery he did for them. He, and his team, were able to guide me through the process with little to zero negative side effects. Special shout out to Jerry, the nutritionist, for helping balance my vitamins and eating plan. They know what they are doing there and if you follow their instructions, you will likely have great success too. I've achieved my goals, feel great, have more energy, and can wear clothes much smaller than when I started. Thank you to Dr. Fass and his team!! - K.P

I am comfortable with the doctor and the staff and don't feel rushed with my appointment. - A.V

I had to wait a bit but once I got in everything moved along and I really like Dr. FASS. - A.W

Dr. Fass is the best. I have recommended him to friends and coworkers who are considering bariatric surgery. From start (my first introductory question and answer appointment) to finish (follow up appointments after surgery), the staff have been helpful, pleasant and knowledgeable. Best of all is the information. I've never been made to feel stupid when I've asked questions, I always get answers (even if I don't always like what I'm told) and everyone has been so wonderfully supportive. - R.THOMAS

Dr Fass, Jenna and Stephanie were all great, as usual. Dr. Fass R-O-C-K-S!!! I had my original lap band surgery in April 2003 and have always had the best of care from Southwest Bariatrics. I have the utmost respect for Dr. Fass and his staff and I know that IF I ever had any concerns, I would feel comfortable discussing those concerns with Dr. Fass.Thank you,Jackie Callaham - J.C

Dr. Fass did a great job of explaining the procedure and recovery time and potential issues. The surgery went off as planned and I went home the next day. You really have to listen to what Dr. Fass and his staff tell you about recovery and follow their directions. Go slow and think long-term. The staff and dietician were always helpful and answered any questions I had promptly. I lost about 120lbs in one year and am still losing. This procedure has changed my life so much for the better and I would not hesitate to do it again knowing what I know. It is not magic and it takes buy-in from you and determination to succeed but it does work. I have had no ill side effects at all going on 13 months. I recommend Dr. Fass to anyone considering this procedure. - M.G

Thank you :) - M.S

I had gastric sleeve surgery that was scheduled for 7:00. I got there at 5:00 and the whole wait time up to surgery went very smoothly. Everyone who was associated with the surgery contacted me and made sure i was informed on the procedures that were about to happen to me. All the nurses were great after surgery too. I had a very positive experience. - A.V

so far, so good but I am having to learn to eat all over again..........I feel like an infant. - J.C

I've been very please with Dr Fass and his clinic. - R.O

I had a wonderful experience with Dr Fass and his staff, with great results. - P.K

I have met with dr fass once and several times with dr elizondo. I have been treated well and did not have long waits any of the times. - L.M

1 year to the date of my surgery and 108 lbs down, I can't say more great things about Dr. Fass and his staff. Super friendly, attentive and made the process very easy for me! Thank you for changing my life in such a huge way!! - A.F

Always willing to answer all my questions. Called to check on me after surgery. Every step of the journey has been explained thoroughly. Although I get frustrated at times, I am grateful for the surgery. It has made living life so much easy. Thank you Dr. Fass - R.M
