What Our Patients Say
Jordan
“After years and years of failed diets and fads, I made the choice to have a VSG done in 2020. The Sleeve Clinic was the clear choice. Fast forward 3 years later, not only have I lost over 140 lbs, but I've adopted a more active lifestyle and higher energy levels, and I'm truly enjoying my new positive outlook on life. If you're reading this and contemplating, should I/shouldn't I — Stop. And just DO!”

“I looked at a few other clinics but I felt a genuine connection listening to Dr. Gmora's videos. He was authentic, honest and disclosed his own weight loss journey. When I spoke to him in person he was the exact same. I'm a RN and trust me those qualities are rare.”

What Patients Say on RateMDs
“Dr. Gmora is truly the best Dr. I have ever met. I had a bariatric surgery done by Dr. Gmora and my entire journey was amazing. He truly does take the time to listen to his patients explain and address any concerns or questions. I never came across a physician that takes caring for his patients to a different level. With his clinic you never feel like you are just a number or just a patient.”
Verified Patient
“Where do I begin? Dr Gmora has been exceptional and incredibly kind and warm. This goes for his entire team at the Sleeve Clinic. They didn't dismiss any of my concerns or emotions and were very supportive (and continue to do so with their 5 year after care program). I feel incredible and don't doubt that it will only get better from here.”
Verified Patient
“Dr. Gmora and his team are simply amazing! When arriving at the clinic to get my surgery — I was beyond terrified. Dr. Gmora stayed with me for a while to reassure me that he has my back. The care after surgery was also just as amazing! It is so nice to have someone so proud of you and your success! Thank you to the sleeve clinic for giving me my life back.”
Verified Patient

“The biggest regret my patients have is not doing this sooner. For most of them diet optimism — really believing the next diet will work — is what holds them back. The relief they experience after surgery is something they wish they could have experienced sooner.”
