Tucson Bariatric - Weight Loss Centers Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I can not say enough about how happy I am with Dr. Monash and his wonderful staff. Dr. Monash is extremely easy to talk to and guided me through 120 pound weight loss journey. His knowledge, guidance, enthusiasm and compassion made the experience very rewarding and enjoyable. The environment is very positive, I now think of Dr. Monash as a friend rather than a doctor read more

At this point I'll do three stars but here's why; One- when talking to dr. I said maybe I need to see a therapist for some emotional eating and he said " it doesn't work unless there's a problem" I say do not discourage anyone to not seek therapy. Then he told me to get an upper endoscopy... uh hi I need a referral yet can't seem to get one from his ofc wtf scare me that he wants to check for cancer in esophagus and then not help me.... read more

I see Dr. Monash monthly, until my surgery then I will see him after for post op care. He is currently not operating but is still providing amazing care to his patients. He does refer you to other surgeons & makes sure to check in, to know you feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire process. All my pre operative testing has been done over a course of 8 months or so, and all through Dr. Monash's care. When we first meet, he was honest about the time frame and the requirements that needed to be met. He gives amazing tips and tricks that will help you long term. As a mom of 3, I am always busy so I love that all of our check ins are via zoom! He does offer in person appointments as well! He always starts the appointments with "do you have any questions for me?" Which I always do!! Lol. I have really felt I am a person to him and not just a patient which is a very big deal to me. I am excited for my new beginnings, his staff is amazing at answering questions and keeping you informed. read more

Thank you for all the amazing work you all do. read more

This office is not patient oriented. They never take you on time, there is never an apology for wasting your time, and the staff is unprofessional. My appointment was at 10, I arrived @ 9:55, and wasn't taken back until 10:25. I then spent at least 15 minutes sitting in a treatment room waiting for the doctor. During my lobby wait, I got to hear all about one of the staff's relationships and her weird sex life- NOT what I want to hear about at the doctor's office. The doctor may be nice, but you not treated very humanely at this office. read more

Dr. Monash did my mom's gastric sleeve in January, she is now 86lbs down! Full of energy and life! He has been amazing through the whole process. Very informative and answers any and all questions we had. He is very supportive and knows what's best for his patients and works hard to make sure they have best care possible. I could not be happier with the results and experience. I know my mom is absolutely ecstatic about her results so far. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone doing any kind of weight loss surgery. read more

Staff sucks and is very lazy. My insurance is waiving all authorizations for a certain time period, but the lady who I talked to on the phone at Tucson Bariatric was still trying to tell me that I still needed authorization when I was looking at my authorization approval/waiver letter! She didn't even try to investigate further or follow up with my insurance. Waste of my time. You guys really need to be more patient and MAKE AN EFFORT to see what a potential patient is talking about. Thankfully, Banner Health at UofA knew what I was talking about and I got my bariatric journey started with them. read more

My daughter had a gastric sleeve surgery in 2014. At our first meeting with Dr. Monash, he said he said his surgeries were highly successful and he did not have bile leaks because of his surgery techniques. My daughter had the gastric sleeve surgery and the next morning she woke up in great pain. Dr. Monash came in and said she had a bile leak. He took her back into surgery and when she woke up from surgery, she was sick and vomited. She aspirated the vomit into her lungs. Long story short, she had to have a tracheotomy so that she could breathe and live. She was in ICU for 6 weeks, a step down hospital for 2 more weeks and a nursing home for almost 2 months. She had to learn to eat again and she had to learn to walk again. She desatted into the low 30s a few times and she was not expected to live. The fact that she aspirated after the surgery is not Dr. Monash's fault, BUT THAT BILE LEAK IS VERY MUCH HIS FAULT!!!! If Dr. Monash had not been careless during the surgery, that bile leak surgery would not have been necessary, she would not have aspirated and she would not be having the lung and breathing problems that she STILL has today - 5 years later! I love TMC and I especially love Tucson Orothopaedic......but I will never refer anyone to Tucson Bariatric. I think Dr. Monash is an arrogant and careless surgeon and I will never refer anyone to him. There are several more options for bariatric issues than Tucson Bariatric. BEWARE. read more

I could spend hours delving into every reason why I love this practice. To make it easy, I will just tell you that Dr Monash and his staff have helped me get my life back. I have lost over 100 pounds in 6 mos, and feel amazing. I fought surgery until I met Dr Monash. He has a way of talking to you that makes you realize you are in good hands. He was spot on with all of his discussions, and my surgery went off without a hitch. I don't think I could have been treated as well anywhere else. read more

I loved the staff at Tucson Bariatric. Dr Monash and his team are amazing. Just over a year out from gastric bypass and still losing because of their guidance . I would recommend them to anyone !! read more

I had gastric sleeve surgery on 12/22/14 with Dr Monash. I was scared. I was in tears. He has an amazing bedside manner that helped calm me down. I woke up and found out that he had repaired my hiatal hernia in addition to my sleeve surgery. My visits with him were great. Even when I was dehydrated a month after my surgery, he made me feel at ease while I was rehydrated. I would HIGHLY recommend this doctor if you are thinking about weight loss surgery. It's been almost 2 years and I've kept 100 lbs off. Thank you Dr Monash! read more

The staff is amazing and very informative. Love everyone there. Very thankful for them.

Dr. Monash and his highly trained team are phenomenal! He sets the bar in his understanding and compassion with your problem. His staff are so nice and well trained, you are always put at ease. I had surgery on May 3rd, 2017 and reached my goal of 100 lbs of weight loss within the next year. Dr. Monash is always available to call you back if you have an issue or question and his staff is always accommodating. He really cares about his patient's outcomes and does everything he can to prepare you for the journey ahead. My life has changed so much! I'm active and healthy and I feel better than I have in years. My course was smooth and I was prepared for all the challenges post operatively because of their guidance. The entire process went so smoothly and the benefits are life changing. He's a great surgeon and an even better person! Thanks for everything you have done to give me the tools to change my life. read more

13 months post op gastric sleeve surgery. Lost 90 pounds, no longer diabetic or have high blood pressure. Dr Monash performed my surgery. Dr Monash has always been easy to talk to, very kind and knowledgeable. My family and I appreciated his bed side manners. He held my hand before surgery, comforting my husband and explaining procedure. He visited me several times while recovering. Dr Monash and his staff have been available for any questions or concerns. My family and I are grateful to Dr Monash for giving me a healthier new life. read more

I haven't had surgery yet but so far I am very please with everyone. I can hardly wait for surgery, hopefully in December.

Dr. Monash is one of the best doctors and surgeons I have ever encountered; and I am 72. So, between my own doctors and doctors of those for whom I have been a caretaker, I have a very wide base of comparison. He meets all the criteria of excellence in a doctor, including a calm and quiet that bespeaks the confidence that comes from true know-how and skill. As opposed to many doctors, he never rushes you through. He gives yyou as a patient the feeling that he has all the time in the world for you. He performed an operation of exceptional difficulty on me, and I had perfect results. He fixed the problem 100%! There are VERY few people in whose hands I would place my life with total confidence and NO worry or anxiety. Dr. Monash is one of those VERY few! . Also, it is actually an enjoyable experience to have an appointment at TUcson Bariatric because the waiting room is super-comfy and relaxing: much more user-friendly than the average doctors' waiting room. read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Monash and Tucson Bariatric Surgery. From the moment you walk through the doors you are greeted with kindness, professionalism and encouragement. The staff is very supportive and knowledgeable through every step of the way. When first meeting Dr. Monash you immediately sense that he truly cares about your success and is going to do whatever he needs to do to help you through this process. I had Gastric Bypass Surgery exactly two years ago and have not only lost 100 lbs. but am eating healthy, exercising, and saying good bye to old habits. Dr. Monash deeply cares about your initial decision and has a bed side manner that is professional and welcoming. I'm still seeing him two years out and I feel the same level of commitment and care as I did the first day I met him. If you are looking to have weight loss surgery done or just wanting to inquire about it, Tucson Bariatric and Dr. Monash is the place to go. read more
