"I absolutely adore Dr. Orzach. Very personable and caring. The Booking Team, Nurses and Dietitians are very responsive. The surgical team were very courteous and attentive. I had my Gastric Sleeve 5 days ago. So far so good. Emails are being responded to in a timely manner by Tina (nurse) and Ellen (dietitian) and I'm very grateful. This is a tool. Not a magic. From here onwards, the success of the process is all in my hand and I will not take this for granted. The best $19.500 investment! Thank you Dr. Orzach and the Team."

"I am thrilled with my results with the vertical sleeve procedure , after doing much research the SmartShape facility came highly recommended. From the beginning of my journey with this team the front end staff receptionists , assistants and nutritionists were all so friendly and informative , and were able to complete all necessary documentation for me to have the procedure within 30 days. The doctors were always available for any questions I may have anxiously had . The Surgical unit is full of wonderful nurses who made the pain go away and aided my quick recovery within hours I was up and walking, with every request they were quick to the task , a private room with my own nurse I was pleasantly surprised. I want to thank Dr.Colburn for his guidance and patience with me, and Dr. Cyriac for the actual surgery , thank you so much for your wonderful work , you are the best!"

"I waited a little while to post a review to see how everything went. Dr. Neil Orzech did my sleeve surgery. It's been 7 weeks, the dieticians and nurses are prompt in answering my questions by email, usually the same day. I've recovered well, I've had no complications. The surgical center was clean, beautiful, and peaceful. It went about as easy as it could have gone. The nurses (especially Theresa, give that lady a raise) we're so kind and compassionate."

"Amazing team of surgeons and staff. Nurse Tammy and Dr Orzech did an amazing job answering all my questions and ensuring my safe return home. I would trust my life in their hands no questions asked. I achieved my results and am super happy with my results. Next time I'm in Toronto I will definitely stop by. These people saved my life and walked me through some of the difficult times of my life post op. 5 years have passed and I don't regret my decision."
