If I could give 100/100, I would. It truly deserves it—the best experience with DR Jalil. He is a genuinely professional surgeon with impressive human warmth. From the moment he entered my room, he took the time to explain the procedure and the recovery. He made me feel safe and calmed my nerves. He’s a doctor who cares about his patients, and I couldn’t put my life in better hands. Dr Jalil exceeded my expectations. This is my second time returning to Hospital BC, and from the moment you arrive you see an immaculate building with trained staff ready to attend to you and answer all your questions. Thank you, Dr. Jalil, for this new opportunity you gave me to…

A Life-Changing Experience 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I honestly don’t know if words will ever be enough to describe how grateful I am to my gastric sleeve surgeon and the entire team who has been part of this journey with me. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on March 14, and today I can truly say that this decision changed my life, In just a few months, I reached my goal weight of 140 lbs. 🥹This wasn’t simply about watching a number on the scale go down. It has been about discipline, commitment, learning to listen to my body, and becoming a healthier version of myself. I will forever be grateful that I found a doctor who helped me take that first step.…
Dr. Illan was awesome! From the first video call with him to the follow up after surgery, he made sure to answer any questions that I had and explained all parts of the procedure in detail. Nothing was rushed and he made sure to visit before surgery to calm my nerves. He is very knowledgeable in regards to the disease of obesity and the long term benefits of surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Illan!!
