Kevin Wasco Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

I met Dr wasco only once at the informational meeting. He seems to really care about what he does. he explained very carefully all the risks and the benefits of the surgery. The office staff is great. whenever I had a question they were very helpful

My first impression of Dr. Wasco was very favorable. At the lecture that you must go to before having the surgery, he demenstrated that he was very knowledgable and confident about the gastric bypass. I felt very secure about having him and Dr. Georgan do the surgery.

His staff was also very polite and knowledgable, and you could tell they were experienced at helping their bariatric patients.

They have a very structured aftercare program, and monitor your progress. They have support groups set up, and some of the local health clubs even offer discounts to their patients!

Dr. Wasco did make the risks, and benefits, of the surgery very clear. He made sure to stress that this surgery is a tool to help you loose weight, not a magic cure-all.

My first impression of him was how young he is! I only met him once at an informational meeting on 9/19/02. He was very thorough in his explanation of the surgery, and the risks and benefits. He talks a little fast and quiet. I met Betsy, his nurse, and she was VERY nice, informative, and friendly. They seem to have a great aftercare program which is very important to me. I think he's great, and would tell anyone else about him.

So far I have me Dr. Wasco once. He is wonderful. Of course I immediatley connected with Betsy (Bariatric RN). I am so excited that I found them!

My first impression of Dr. Wasco was he talked way too fast for me.
Now that I am 10 weeks post-op, and have had time to get to know him, I would say that he seems to be one of the most caring & compassionate surgeons I have ever met. He seems to truly care about the well being of his patients. Not just before surgery, but most importantly, after. He really listens.
What really impresses me is his passion for what he does. This is what made me feel utterly confident in him. This passion translated into knowledge.
What a guy....I did, and would, trust him with my life!!!!!!!

Well I went to counciltation and met with Doctor Georgen and Doctor Wasco yesterday. I was very impressed on how these two men work together, they do all the surgeries together.
I met them with five other women. Doctor Georgen gave us the presentation on how the surgery works and what procedure they use, he explines the risks and what they do to avoid all risks, he explained the benifits of having the surgery, it was all very informational,Even though it was everything I read in a book on weight loss surgery.
The staff were very kind and explained what was planned for the time we were there, very friendly.
There was not one thing I was unhappy about with staff or Doctors..
I went away feeling pretty good,talked about my insurance not covering surgery, but they told us that they send out a real good letter to get approval, I felt a little more at ease because the staff had mentioned to me when I first came into the office. I felt so comfortable.
