Jessica Folek Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr. Folek is wonderful.

Dr. Folek has been amazing since my very first visit. She has taken the time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions. She and I determined that the VSG was going to be the best and only choice of bariatric surgery that would work for me. Dr. Folek, as well as her staff, helped me in my appeal to my insurance company to make sure I got the very best treatment for ME.
During my stay at the hospital Dr. Folek was in to check on me before, and after the surgery. She also spoke with my family in waiting. She checked in on me twice a day, and made sure the care I was getting was absolutely correct. I knew that she truly cared about my progress. I can only say that I couldn't have asked for more from a surgeon or from her team. They are awesome.

I am so displeased with Dr. Foleks care and her lack of 'listening to the patient'.

I had my surgery for the lapband more than 3 years ago. I was very compliant and had lost alot of weight. However in 2011 I was unable to hold food down down I called what used to be my doctors office and was asked to see Dr. Folek. She said she thought I had a small slip and took all the fluid out.

I returned monthly for a fill and unfill for 4 months... I made an appt to discuss a revision and she told me that she thought that I was too young and too active to seek another surgery to help me continue on the weight loss journey. Well they got my 30k for the first surgery and about 500+ a month for the last 4 months so of course she wanted to continue a fill and unfill regimen with me..

I asked for my medical records and immediately went to another doctor that was shocked to hear what I had been put there. They viewed all the notes and couldnt imagine why I wasn't eligible for a revision with her.

I have been all over the place online I have many blogs about my weight loss and my journey and I will do everything to make sure that my experience is documented and heard.

Theres no compassion.

I was very satisfied with Dr. Folek. She clearly knows what she is doing and was very straightforward in answering my questions both pre and post surgery. I had no pain whatsoever from the operation (just typical discomfort for a few days) and the procedure is working exactly as advertised.

Dr. Folek is amazing. I was very lucky to have found her for my weight loss and lap band surgery journey. She is very professional but also very straightforward and honest. I love her direct approach to communication and that she cares very much about the entire process of weight loss. She speaks to you in clear and understandable language and takes the time to address all concerns and questions without rushing you out of the office or giving you a "canned" response. I absolutely adore this surgeon and would encourage anyone to work with her. She is truly a doctor who loves her work and it shows. Dr. Folek ROCKS!!! :)

Dr. Folek is absolutely wonderful. She has been so helpful during this process and always willing to answer questions. The clinic is also great. They always responded promptly to emails and phone calls.

Dr. Folek performed my RNY surgery on March 8, 2010, and my husband's RNY on March 31, 2010.

Our first meeting with Dr. Folek was just a couple of months prior to surgery. After that initial consultation, we both felt completely comfortable pursuing surgery with her. I am one of those individuals that reads as much as I can about a subject and then asks as many questions as I can...especially when it is in regards to my health. I found Dr. Folek to be appreciative of my need to know "everything" and she provided practical and thorough answers to all of my questions. Believe me, I had many! My husband and I left that initial meeting with the same impression -- this doctor is smart! I don't always have that opinion of those in the medical field.

I had no doubts going into surgery with Dr. Folek that it would be done right. Both my husband and I had great recoveries and have been losing well with no adverse side effects. I really think having an excellent surgeon such as Dr. Folek is a huge part of our success.

I look forward to my follow-up appointments with her. Though she is very serious when discussing your surgery and current health status, she is also very personable and thoughtful. I highly recommend Dr. Folek to anyone pursuing bariatric surgery.
