What Patients Are Saying

“I’m a new person. This surgery (gastric bypass) will benefit your life. I didn’t think I’d be alive in five years. I was taking eight pills a day and now I am taking one. My sleep apnea is gone. I have the energy to play with my grandson. Now, because of Surgical Weight Management Solutions, I have a new future.” – Mark

“I really can’t say enough great things about Dr. Rivera, the office personnel and/or the billing department. His office and staff are phenomenal and to have that kind of trust in them during a difficult situation, makes decisions so much easier and less stressful!” – Casandra

“He was fantastic for my dad and is one of the reasons he is alive today.” – Brandie

“We felt very secure in our decision to have Dr. Rivera perform my procedure. He is ABSOLUTELY worth traveling for. He is in two great locations in the Mid-Cities AND his staff is excellent; from the front office, to his assistants, even down to his billing department. The whole team made the surgery and recovery go smoothly. I was VERY fortunate to find Dr. Rivera and his staff!” – Casandra

“I struggled with weight my whole life. Once medical issues like diabetes and blood pressure problems started setting in, I tried everything, but all other methods were unsuccessful. I had to do something for my health. I knew the day I decided on gastric bypass surgery that it would be a life change. I was on asthma medication, but not anymore. And right now, I am training for my first half-marathon. I am doing stuff I would have never done before.” – John

“This is the second time SGNT has cared for me. Dr. Matin cared for me the first time – did a revision on a previous surgery by another physician. He was wonderful! Had another need, but Dr. Matin was on vacation, so saw Dr. Rivera. He was absolutely wonderful to us. I can’t say enough about his personal touch, professionalism, bedside manner, capability, attention to detail. He conveys a sense of trust, knowledge, and explains everything. Dr. Matin and Dr. Rivera are just personable – it’s not all business to them. I felt like I was family. I felt a complete trust from day 1 with them. I hope I never need them again, but would go to them over and over again if needed.” – Francis

“Dr. Rivera really impressed me with his down-to-earth explanations of the procedures, as well as the tools and techniques he would be using. I felt very confident before and after the surgery, and if I had to have another procedure, he would be the first surgeon I’d call.” – Casandra

“It was time to do it (gastric bypass surgery). I was 63 years old and wanted to be happy and feel good. Now I look good in my clothes and I like the way my face looks. My grandkids love that I can be more active with them now. I would definitely do it again if I had the choice. It makes me feel good to be back where I was 40 years ago. Thank you Surgical Group of North Texas.” – Judith

“I was given the options, and his opinion of the outcome of each option. With his experience, knowledge and thorough explanation of the pros and cons, I felt at ease with my final decision; that my best interests and treatment were at the forefront.” – Casandra
