Patient Reviews

Kiara Wood - November 2024

“I just wanted to take the time to express how GRATEFUL I am for the life-changing experience I’ve received from Dr. Sowemimo and his team at Prime Surgicare.

Through the educational process and preparation for surgery, everything was smooth sailing. I can’t wait to see where this healthy lifestyle will take me.”

Allison Casais – October 2024

“I had the gastric sleeve on December 11, 2023. Since then I lost 115 pounds and still going. I exercise 6 days a week and follow a healthy diet, while tracking my food/water intake daily. I feel as if I have a new lease on life.

I am happier, more confident, and more willing to try new things. I am a better person all around, and feel extremely luck to have this opportunity.

Dr. Sowemimo and his team are experts at what they do. I felt supported and heard throughout the whole process- before, during, and after my surgery.”

Cassandra Battle – February 2024

“Dr. Sowemimo and the team are great. My acid reflux issues are now nonexistent. No more meds. I drove in from PA for my appointments and surgery. I healed quickly and had zero complications. I highly recommend this team.”

Patient from February 2024

“After the first visit, I decided to work with Dr. Sowemimo. He’s compassionate, informative, caring and has a great bedside manner.”
