Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Surgeon
I had the weight loss revision from the sleeve to the bypass. Everything I needed to know to prepare for surgery was sent before hand and in detail. My follow-up appointments with him he does may sure your following all requirements and also recommendeds follow-up with dietitian if needed. However it is hard to get in touch with anyone if your having any problems after surgery and staff have you make an appointment.

Dr. Primomo takes his time to have real conversations and to answer any questions you have. He is very friendly and caring. He was authentic and "real" with me throughout the entire process. I'm only two weeks post-op, but I am doing great. I am so happy with my decision, and would do it all over again!

I had tons of trouble getting anyone in the office to call me back.. I called several times and only talked to someone a few times they were suppose to call back and never did. The Doctor was very nice and helpful...would have loved to be able to keep seeing him. But he wanted me to do this liquid diet that was way outside my price range...as well as a couple of other things.. But my main problem was with the office staff...they were polite enough but they just didn't seem to care...

He's great and very kind, great beside manner.Dr. Primomo will talk to you all day if need be , he explains everything to you and answers all your questions with a direct answer! I just love him and his staff. I would refer him to anyone! He does lots of other producers other than Baratric Surgery also.

I researched healthgrades and patient recommendations for a general surgeon who could perform my Hiatal Hernia repair. Dr. Primomo was very highly recommended! I had my surgery four days ago and have had NO bad experiences yet. No pain at all, I don't have GERD anymore! No more medicine for heartburn! So thrilled with my experience I highly recommend him for your repair!
