I love my bariatric surgeon, Dr Colleen Kennedy. Her staff is great. She has 3 locations but the Baylor Dallas location is closet to Irving (also in Plano and Rockwall). I highly recommend her. PM me if you have questions

I went to the Nicholson Clinic. They were great and I had a great experience. I am 10 months out and doing well. Dr. Nick did my surgery.

I had my sleeve performed by Dr. Clayton Frenzel at the Plano Surgical Hospital.

I can't say much about his office staff as they seem lacking in general skills such as taking messages, answering voicemail, etc., however his surgical skills must to be great as I have had no complications whatsoever and I am quite happy with the results

Dr. David Kim at Kim Bariatrics was my surgeon. Not only is he an amazing surgeon but his office staff is amazing. He has an office in Frisco and Colleyville. It is definitely worth going for the free consult.

Like ironpoorer mentioned Dr. Frenzel is good (he is the surgeon I started out with) but switched due to his inadequate staff.

I'm very happy with my final decision!

Dr Kim at Kim Bariatrics is great! He did my surgery 4 years ago and I am still involved in the support system they have there. You will get support for life at KBI. Monthly support groups, FREE bootcamps for their patients, FREE U Jam classes, Cruises, Hiking events, etc and the private patient only FB support group does monthly Breakfast and dinner get togethers, monthly 5ks, and lots of fun events like bowling, painting, ziplining in DAllas, dancing, toller skating, karaoke nights and lost more!! That is what has helped me be successful in my 90 lbs loss. The office has always been very helpful to me throughout my journey. Dr Kim did my sleeve and two years later Dr Holden took out my gallbladder. All docs on his staff are GREAT! Good luck in your weight loss journey.

Dr. Kim at Kim Bariatric Institute did my sleeve a year and a half ago. He and his office staff were terrific. My insurance required 6 months of nutrition classes before they would approve the surgery and I learned a lot about making the right choices and lost nearly 30 lbs before surgery. After Surgery the on-line support group was there along with Nurse Pam at the office to answer all my questions (even the stupid ones) I'm down another 150lbs since surgery and could not be happier. I highly recommend them.

I had my sleeve done this morning at UT Southwestern - Dr Sarah Hennessy. Man the new hospital at UTSW is nice. Only one year old. Everyone is so nice and so far I've been ok with pain.

My surgeon is Dr. Melanie Hafford in Irving (161 & MacArthur). She's new to independent practice, but was teaching bariatric surgery at UT Southwestern before she opened her private practice. She came highly recommended by my rheumatologist. I haven't had the surgery yet, so I can't give a full review. In discussing her techniques and experience, I am very comfortable with her. I'm a nurse, so I ask a lot of questions. She answered all of them without the usual surgeons' attitude.
