I haven't ever been someone that judges medical professionals. However, I can see how beneficial it is to have that insight. Mercy Bariatric Center has gone above and beyond. I have never felt guilty, shamed or a nuisance To those that assist within this program. I actually know of a lot of people who have had some type of bariatric surgery and I have yet to hear the kind of support encouragement or guidance provided to any of them as what mercy bariatric center has provided for me. I will scream it from all the rooftops that this is the place to go for guidance support and encouragement, as well as an extreme knowledge of the process. I am successful because of the support I have through mercy bariatric center. I can't thank them enough.

Amanda MCDONAGH is the best PA. She is taking her time to explain what is going on and what the next step is. I really appreciate that she used pictures/diagrams to explain again and again to me the procedure I'm going to get. I always feel confident with Amanda.

Amanda is an exceptional care provider for Mercy Bariatric! She is very thorough in her care and takes time to listen to the patients needs. She is very knowledgeable in her field and communicates in a personable and professional way each visit. My success with this program is due in part to the excellent medical care and advice provided by Amanda along this journey since 2022.
