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.

Fantastic surgeon!

Amazing Experience by a Caring Medical Leader
I have been looking at this surgery on and off for more than 15 years. I had decided it was not for me. Circumstances changed in my life and I was encouraged to look at it again by my medical team. I called my insurance and was told that if it were to be covered I needed to go to a Bariatric Center of Excellence. For my insurance the closest was Reston Hospital. I started to look at the doctors affiliated with the hospital and saw Dr. Coxs' name and photo. I started to research her and felt very connected to her. I called the office and spoke to the amazingly kind, funny and diligent Danielle. We clicked immediately. I made an appointment still not convinced that this was something I was going to do. I met with Dr. Cox and it all became clear to me. The reason I never did the surgery before was because I had NEVER met a surgeon that I even remotely felt cared about me as a patient, treated me as a human being and not a fat failure, and cared in a way that made me instantl

I found Dr. Pysher by chance. She is a smart, talented, kind, and attentive Doctor/Surgeon. She sets you at ease from the start. She doesn’t rush, and most importantly she REALLY listens. Her track record with surgeries is phenomenal. I feel fortunate to have crossed her path.

Dr Pysher genuinely cares about her patients and takes the time to answer questions and explain options in detail. She is actively involved throughout the entire surgical process and follows up to monitor your health after the procedure. We are so lucky to have her in our community!

Great bedside manner. Due to the COVID I only met her face to face 2x then had phone meetings & telemedicine. I felt totally safe & secure with her. She was always open & honest with me & answered all my questions. I am so happy I chose her as my surgeon!
