Taryn Jensen · Gastric sleeve surgery Aug 2023

This was the best experience that I could ask for! From the hotel stay to the hospital was amazing. This was my first surgery and the whole team made the whole process so easy and calming! I would recommend anyone getting the gastric sleeve surgery to come here! Couldn’t ask for better care from the Dr and the team!
