   Dr. Heydari,

   There will never be enough words or time to properly thank you in the amount that I would like to. You have saved our family more than once. Thank you for saving my life and the life of my daddy more than once. You are a God send to me and I will always be grateful to having found you.

   I can’t say ever express enough how thankful I am that you helped me to get myself and my life back. I chose you for my bariatric surgery for many reasons. You are a very skilled and professional doctor, but aside from that, you are the most compassionate and caring doctor I have ever met. Not just for the surgery, either, but for years after, too. You take pride in what you do and you are genuine to the people you help. This shows when you talk about your work and the bariatric program. Thank you for being you.

   Dr. Heydari, the words “Thank You” are not enough to show my appreciation for everything you have done to change my life. You are an extremely skilled tauma, general and bariactric surgeon. You have saved and touched many lives. For this we all thank you. You have shown great compasion for all of your patients and let us know that we are not just cared for, we are cared about. My life has truly changed for the good for having met you. Thanks for all you do!

   Hello from Amarillo, Texas. We are on our way to AZ to start our search for communities where we may like to end our journey that began with your surgeries. We have two scales packed…one for us and one for our food. We couldn’t let the week pass without thanking you for all that you have done to change our lives. We plan to move to AZ as two much healthier seniors …ready to find new adventures. You are amazing….your compassion as a person really enhance your excellent skills as a surgeon. We’d love to pack you up and take you with us a year from now. (Monica might not like that) I also wanted to share my latest good news….I did not have to pack my CPAP….no more sleep apnea.

   P.S. We are really saving money on food this trip…..thanks again to a wonderful physician and person.

    I would like to take a moment and thank Dr Heydari for every kind thing he has done for me. He is not only a skilled physician and surgeon but is also a wonderful, compassionate and genuine human being. It is rare to find a Dr. in this day and age who is so genuine and actually cares about what happens to people. I had 2 surgeries done by him. One was the gastric by pass and I have lost 110 pounds and feel great! I feel so blessed to have him as my Dr. I hope that if you are in need of a Dr that you see Dr Heydari. I’m positive you will be very happy.
    Thank you Dr Heydari!!

    Thank you for all you do. And that includes your partners in your practice. Dr. Schwaab saw me oncall because I was having problems. He helped with the problem but I still will followup with you. I was so nervous and he was a pillar of calm. Your surgerical group totally rocks. Just wanted to let the world know that the centegra weight loss center totally rocks also. Thank you for giving me my life back. I am now down 150lbs, which is more than my original goal. Denise Heisner

    Dr. Heydari and Staff,
    I cannot begin to thank you enough for giving me the tools, education and support that has helped me to be the person I am today. I’m 11 months post-op (full bypass) and have lost over 125 lbs. I feel fantastic and would love nothing more that to be a part of your mission; motivating and encouraging those who are where I was at the beginning of my journey. A heartfelt thanks to you all for helping me to rediscover myself. You truely are a special group of people.
