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.

He’s Amazing! Different than the others
Dr Arnold is so personable, down to earth, and genuinely nice. I had no fears going into surgery, especially when hearing all the nurses have nothing but rave reviews of him. His staff is also amazing and go above and beyond for you. I can’t say enough great things about him and his staff.

Excellent care
I had a gastric sleeve and a hiatal hernia repair done. The first 2 days are rough but you get plenty of pain relief. He sends you home with so many prescriptions to cover almost anything that can happen. Within 3 or 4 days, I was no longer taking anything for pain. I am very satisfied with the care I received.

Cant thank him enough
Dr. Arnold is a very caring and compassionate doctor. After a doctor screwed up my pouch and closed his practice, Dr. Arnold stepped in and took care of me. I cannot thank him and Elena enough for all the understanding and care I was given. Dr Arnold took time away from his practice to speak to my husband's HR committee to have a stomach reversal done. He put my stomach back on and 4 years later I had the sleeve done. I've went from 375lbs down to 135lbs. The weight loss and all my care was done with Dr. Arnold. If it wasn't for him stepping up and taking care of me, I don't know what my outcome would have been. If you need a doctor, I recommend him with all my heart.

Dr. Arnold was my surgeon for my RNY. His pre op care was amazing. Post op was terrible! I was told over and over how everything was fine all while I am feeding tube + central line dependent and totally unable to eat or drink orally!

Abrazo Medical Group is totally incompetent! Scheduling and billing nightmares and staff that consistently drops the ball and lacks follow through.

I went to see Dr. Arnold after having difficulty keeping food down with my lap band that was placed by another physician 7 years prior. He ordered a swallow study and discovered the lap band had migrated into my esophagus. We planned surgery and removed the lap band and placed a gastric sleeve. He is amaging, his staff, Elena the MA, Jocelyn the MA, Trudy, the Nurse Navigator are amazing as well. Down to earth and kind.
