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.

Dr. Woodman has been great. I believe if it wasn’t for the tools that he gave me, this life change would be so much harder. I honestly believe that this surgery and life style change has saved my life. I feel so much better and my health has greatly improved. It’s definitely not easy but Dr. Woodman is up front about that and has explained everything so well. Thank you Dr. Woodman for giving me the tools that I need to improve my life and make it a better life.

Recommended highly
Bariatric surgery is a lifestyle change, and not a quick and easy way to lose weight. It's not 'easy'.Dr Woodman's team is serious about your health and well being, and they are always there to help.

Dr. Woodman is a great doctor to me. He is very knowledgeable about the procedure and process for the weight loss surgery. He is also firm and doesn't sugarcoat anything and that is what people need the most. He wants to see u be a success story for a lifestyle change.

New Life!
It has been 7 months since I had a sleeve gastrectomy with Dr. Woodman. I have lost 114 pounds since beginning my journey with him. I have gone from a size 22 to a size 6! I feel great! No more sleep apnea for me! If you do what he says and use this surgery as a tool to help you succeed, you won’t regret it! Get rid of excuses because there are none!

Excellent at what he does!
Dr. Woodman gives his patients the facts and lets them make their own decisions prior to surgery. After surgery, he consistently re-enforces with his patients the changes they must continue to make in order to be successful. He is sincerely wanting to see his patients' health improve.

All the tools to be successful are provided from beginning to the end. He, along with his office staff are willing to help you help yourself. Now he doesn't play and takes his profession, seriously. If you are not ready to make lifestyle changes, it will be in your best interest to go somewhere else.
