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 doesn’t really explain anything to you at all.
When Dr. Turton comes in the room it’s a cold greeting. Not warm, how are you doing type feeling. It’s like straight to business with no concern for the patient. I was a patient for 8 years and for those 8 years it was the same cold atmosphere. The staff is ok, not the best. I wouldn’t recommend Dr. Turton to someone who wants a doctor that really seems to care and show some type emotions about how the patient is doing.

From the moment that I sat in on his seminar i knew I was lead in the right direction! After all he was the only surgeon I researched. He explained everything openly from day 1! His staff is so professional and welcoming, they don't treat you like another number of the list, they care and check up on you during your career. I started with Dr. Turton in February 2017 i was sleeved August 7th 2017. I went in at 275lbs and at 11months post op I'm 198.6lbs Thank you for my tool

Recognizing obesity as a major health problem that contributes to other medical problems such as diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, and hypertension, I am excited seeing these conditions improve or resolve after weight loss surgery.
