Dr. Eibes explained all risks in detail and explained the surgery and timeline well. He also encouraged me to ask questions and answered and addressed all concerns I had. I really felt like he was willing to go over anything with me and I was encouraged by that.

This was the most pro-active doctor visit I have ever attended. Honest information without judgment.

I heard about Iowa surgery through my hairdresser in swea city Iowa. She knew of three close friends that had excellent feedback and positive stories ffom your clientele. The three gals said that your team of staff was professional and you conducted the surgery in stages for a successful outcome. Mentally, nutritionally, physically, etc

All of my questions from check-in to check-out were answered thoroughly and professionally. I have already recommended multiple people to your clinic. It has been some of the best care I have received in years.

Dr Eibes was super friendly, comforting, and easy to talk to. He was very informative, and answered the few questions we had thoroughly. He made me feel much more confident about having surgery, which is something I'm nervous about.

January 28, 2022

Dr. Eibes was very informative, very sincere and appreciated his honesty and not pushing alternate types of weight loss procedures unlike my visit with another hospital surgeon.

Excellent communication skills!

October 12, 2021

This was the first time a provider acted like they believed me regarding my attempts at eating healthy and inability to lose weight.

September 24, 2021

This was one of the first times I've been to a doctor appointment where I didn't feel shamed or embarrassed about my situation with my weight. I was treated with respect and care from all of the people I spoke with. You don't know how wonderful that does make a person feel. So often those who struggle with their weight are treated less than, and this office did not do that at all. I'm beyond thankful for that--and for finding a way to help me live longer and healthier with a group of wonderful people.
