Dr. Benbrahim cares a lot about his patients, and spent a great deal of time explaining the surgery and answering my questions. I was very confident in the procedure with him as my provider and surgeon.

Dr. Benbrahim is an amazing Doctor. He is very compassionate, knowledgeable, an effective communicator and an active listener. Him and his team ensured my comfortability and understanding of my individualized weight loss plan. If I had to go through this journey again, I would not hesitate to choose him as my HCP. Lastly, I would recommend him to anyone who needed his expertise. Well done Dr. Benbrahim!!!

I've been seeing Dr Benbraheim for over three years. He always takes his time to talk to you. He gives you different options. He lets you decide, but he gives his medical opinion. He is not pushy and he truly cares about his patience and his staff is absolutely amazing. They're always friendly and always willing and ready to help.

I recently had my first visit with Aziz Benbrahim and their staff, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I checked in until the moment I left, everyone was incredibly hands-on, welcoming, and patient with my questions and concerns. They took the time to educate me and explain each step of the process, which really put me at ease. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful medical group to work with. I Highly recommend!

Very professional good doctor!

Dr.Ben was highly recommended & I am so happy I chose him & his staff for my care. I have been seeing him & his staff for 4 months now, with my surgery happening in a months time. I will update after that but I have to tell you, there are very little to no wait time at all when I arrive at appointments, his staff is so friendly and always able to reach them through email or calls. Always willing to help. He explains things so patiently and is very kind and understanding. Dr benbrahim has taken an experience I was terrified & even a little ashamed to do and begin, and made me feel cared for, respected, safe and less afraid. He has a way about him that puts you at ease when you are discussing such scary things. Highly recommend him & his staff! You won't be disappointed. Will update after surgery. But honestly I'm very confident going into this because of how well I have been treated during thus very lengthy workup.
