Dr.Naim and his staff was absolutely AMAZING! They took time to answer all my questions, and made me feel at ease about my procedure.I knew exactly what to expect before and after surgery because I was given all the information and reassurance I needed. I had my gastrointestinal sleeve surgery preformed 4 months ago and am dropping all my unwanted weight SUCCESSFULLY! I have ZERO regrets about moving forward with my surgery and would recommend this approach to anyone that struggles with overeating.

Very friendly and professional staff. I had Gastric Balloon done today "Jan 27th" at "South Coast Specialty Surgery Center" with Dr. Michael Russo which done very on-time. After the process, I woke up very normal with zero pain. However it's been just couple hours I'm so feeling well and very normal, No Stomach discomfort. No Nausea, and No vomiting at all. I can do my personal things very well and also started getting back to work and checking my emails as regular. A big appreciation to Dr. Michael Russo and his team for their great work!

I came in to ask about the vertical gastric sleeve procedure. I saw Dr. Naim and his great staff at South Coast specialty surgery center. All my questions were answered so I went ahead and did the procedure there (2/11/21) and I couldn’t be anymore happier. The staff there is great, very thoughtful of my procedure and ensured I felt confident and ready for surgery, not to mention the surgeon Dr. Naim and his P.A Carolyn are very confident in what they do and answer any questions to the they can. I would recommend any member of my family to this center and this doctor. It’s truly a life changing experience. I will also post a follow up review on my results. Stay tuned peeps!
