"I chose Dr. Ganta to do my gastric bypass for several reasons. First, he is a skilled and experienced bariatric surgeon. He is respected by his peers as an expert in suturing - a skill critical to successful WLS. Second, I felt from the beginning that Dr. Ganta was/is truly committed to giving his patients the best possible care before, during, and after hospitalization. Third, he is the only surgeon in Austin that specializes in bariatric surgery. There are other doctors in Austin that do WLS, but it isn’t necessarily their primary focus. I wanted a doctor that was committed enough to WLS to devote their practice to it full time. Fourth, he was serious about the risks associated with WLS, encouraged questions, and required extensive testing prior to surgery. He wants his patients to be well informed before making a decision about surgery and be committed to following his guidelines after surgery. I am now at 7 weeks post-op and continue to be extremely pleased with the care I have received from Dr. Ganta and his staff. I have had no complications - not even nausea. I was off all pain medication the day after my two day stay in the hospital. He and his staff continue to be very willing to help me with any questions or concerns I have. They promptly return phone calls and e-mails. Dr. Ganta has been very sensitive to the fact that I was self-pay and has helped me to keep costs at a minimum while still receiving quality care. I have been impressed by the level of personal attention I’ve gotten from Dr. Ganta during the entire process. It has been more than I’ve received from any other doctor or physician's assistant - much less a surgeon. It’s clear to me that he is committed to my success as his WLS patient. He has also stayed in communication with my primary care doctor about my care. Dr. Ganta is very serious about his work while being compassionate and caring towards his patients. We are fortunate he decided to move his practice to Austin!"
