"The hospital staff was exemplary, from the nurses and doctors to the custodial people. They couldn't have been more kind or more helpful!"

Beamer Breiling
"I liked Dr. Breiling immediately. He and his staff treat me like a long-lost friend. Dr. Breiling is friendly, funny, intelligent and compassionate. He treated me like a human being who needed his help from day one. In the almost 6 months since my surgery, I have grown to like him very much. His office is clean and neat and sometimes busy, but I rarely have to wait more than a few minutes for him. There's really nothing I don't like about Dr. Breiling. I would recommend to all who are considering WLS to at least make an appointment and visit with him. He answers all questions honestly and without hesitation, no matter how direct the question. He's very adamant about aftercare. He wants to make sure you're doing well physically and mentally. He asks lots of pointed questions and expects you to answer honestly. He likes to see his patients every month after surgery for the first year. He now sees me every 2 months, because I live 2-1/2 hours away. He insists that all prospective patients know all of the risks involved in this surgery. He told me to do even more research than I alreaady had, gave me a list of websites to check out, told me to find out the good, bad and ugly about this surgery, and come back to him with lots of questions. He said he would see me 3 times before he would even talk to me about whether or not I wanted to go through with this surgery. As a rating, if 1 is the worst and 10 is the best, Dr. Breiling is definitely a 10! His surgical competence is exemplary, as I have lost 60 pounds with no complications and I feel better than I have in 20 years. His bedside manner is wonderful! I was in the hospital for 6 days; he saw me every day - always came in with a sunny smile and a joke. He has a calming effect, just walking into the room."
