I don’t know where to start! My journey at PWLS started about a year ago. Between my insurance requirements, Covid and a change in physicians it took a bit longer BUT, for that I am so grateful. Those delays meant I had the pleasure of being one of Dr. Golas’s first patients at the office when he started!!! I was so excited and so thrilled! This journey is rough mentally and physically but when you have an amazing support system like the staff at PWLS it makes it a bit easier and less stressful. They think of everything. From the front desk, to the amazing dietitian (Anne) to the miracle worker who fights for you with your insurance (Renee) to the talented and caring surgeon, Dr. Golas!!! They all make it worth it!!! When I had any questions all I had to do was ask. No one ever made you feel like a failure. They are all so supportive. I am almost 2 months post op and I can’t be more pleased with my progress. You have to trust the process. You will have good and bad days. You will have ups and downs but it’s ok. You are learning. And you have the best support staff around! I must say this as well…I was a bit afraid of the pain and what my scars would look like after surgery. Dr. Golas thought of everything!!! He made sure I had all meds prior to surgery that would help my recovery be a bit easier and less painful. Seems he thought of everything! I made sure I was up walking every 2 hours right out of recovery. I had some soreness after but nothing like I expected. And my scars….what scars?!?! He’s a magician!!! I don’t know how he did it but it’s incredible. I have never had a doctor treat me with such compassion and respect like Dr. Golas did. If you are thinking about taking the next steps towards a healthier life with the help of WLS I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND seeing Dr. Golas at Premier Weight Loss Solutions. You will not be disappointed. This decision is not something you take lightly and you want someone who cares and knows what they are doing....
   Read moreMy goodness my weight loss team is amazing. Dr Golas, was so down to earth and real with me. I had done ton of research before seeing Dr Golas so I went in with my questions and my concerns. I have to tell you he answered all of them before I even got out my sheet to ask him questions. He talked though both surgeries with me and made sure we picked the best one to meet my needs. Dr Golas staff are amazing always about lets find want works for you. If I struggle there is no judgement it let's figure this out, we are here to help you. Anytime before an appointment if I have a question or concern I can email them directly or call the office and they always get back with with in 24 hours but usually the same day. At no point have I ever gone without questions answered unless I did not ask them but if I forget to ask like I said I contact me and they get back to me. I was well inform before going into surgery what to expect what to look for and what I needed to do if I notice anything not expected. Only serious complication that I really was not serious because it was quickly handled was dehydration. I called them and told them what was going on with in a hour they had me in someplace getting hydrated. I do not have any regrets at all about choosing to have surgery. Well yes I do I wish I had not been stubborn and choose to do it sooner, but if I had done it sooner I may not have gotten my wonderful team so maybe it was God's plan so I had the right team. Needless to say I highly recommend Dr. Golas and if you considering surgery talk to him. He is a great doctor who truly cares about those he is helping and it shows with the time he gives to his patients to make sure they...
   Read moreI’m confused by the old one-star reviews; my experience has been quite the opposite. To be clear, it appears the poor reviews are 2+ years old and may have been prior to staffing changes. Just a thought.
Regardless, the staff at Premier Weight Loss Solutions has been so compassionate and patient-driven for the entire year I’ve been going here. I began a medical weight management program (non-surgical) with them and was provided an abundance of tools and resources for the process including a staff of individuals who want to see me succeed. Each visit includes dedicated time with my dietitian, Michelle, who listens, guides, and encourages me which has allowed me to build skills around eating, meal planning, and nutritional structure in my life. The visits also include dedicated time with my PA, Anne Kroger who is so compassionate and understanding of the struggles her patients face and she provides tools and structure to help navigate it all. When I told her I wanted to switch to the bariatric surgery program and pursue that, she (and the rest of the team) was so supportive.
From the front end schedulers to the entire medical staff, this office has always treated me with kindness and compassion. I have never felt rushed and always feel encouraged and cheered on by the whole team, as if they’re all truly invested in my success and that is so meaningful when you’re feeling vulnerable on a weight loss journey.
I would highly recommend this office if you are pursuing weight loss be it through a medically managed program or...
