The Center for Weight Loss Surgery at Wood County Hospital

Fantastic experience: Office staff is amazing!

Fantastic experience: Dr.lalor and office staff are amazing easy to work with. Wish I was able to go to group meeting but was asked not to do to a conflict of personal

Fantastic experience: The center for weightloss has changed my life for the better in so many ways. The entire staff is fantastic. I am three years out from surgery and have maintained a 160 lb weightloss. Staff is always willing to listen to any concerns I have and that is so appreciated. I one hundred percent would recommend Dr. Lalor and staff!

Fantastic experience: Total explanation of the weight loss program (dietary). A full detailed discussion on medication that is available, if needed. All aspects of weight loss explained in detail. All staff operate in a highly professional manner.

Fantastic experience: Dr Lalor and his entire staff are amazing. They definitely have the entire bariatric process perfected. The level of support is phenomenal. The level of care at wood county hospital is exceptional as well.

Fantastic experience: In my opinion they are the BEST in the area!!! They actually listen to my concerns and questions! Never feel like I’m rushed or like I don’t know what I’m talking about! They are a HUGE part of my 5 years and counting success!! I recommend them to EVERYONE that is wanting to start their own journey!

Fantastic experience: They were very nice and this is my second time coming to him.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, they really care and do their best to take care of you and answer your questions.

Fantastic experience: I love Dr. Lalor and his entire staff! My surgery is in 3 days and I feel as if Ginger has prepared me extremely well for what to expect and my dietary needs post op. Every single person has made this experience one that is truly life changing!! Torque! and I are grateful for each of them!

Fantastic experience: Excellent!

Negative experience: was utilizing after care mental therapy with Dr Lynette and thought i was doing better. I didn't have a session for a couple months but found myself in a bad place mentally so I set up a appointment almost a month out that fit in both the offices schedule and mine. 1 day before appointment, 1 day!, they call and say since I hadn't been there in a couple months that I wasn't welcome back because I was now considered a new patient and she isn't taking new patients. What a disappointment in health care. If you had a opening in the schedule you aren't that busy! Then you have a office girl call me because you didn't have the guts to call yourself? Waiting one day to cancel and having a opening is a true testament to the state of health care in this country. unbelievable!!!

Fantastic experience: Staff and doctor are very knowledgeable and friendly. Doctor sincerely cares about you and your weight loss journey.

Fantastic experience: I had a gastric sleeve done ten years ago and have never regretted it. I am now 103 pounds less than I have ever weighed and am delighted.

Fantastic experience: Always great patient experience. They genuinely care and want you to be successful!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful

Fantastic experience: Very thorough and patient oriented

Fantastic experience: My journey started 6 years ago and the entire staff has always been top notch

Fantastic experience: Very well treated and informed, experience so far has been exceptional.

Fantastic experience: I am so impressed with everything with the Center for Weight Loss at Wood County Hospital. Everything from getting the test done at the hospital, to meeting monthly with a dietitian, and getting information about my upcoming surgery, has been such a great experience. Everyone at the hospital is so supportive of my choice to have this surgery. And everybody in Dr. Lalor‘s office is just amazing.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable, caring staff and Dr Lalor takes his time to explain procedures so there are no surprises

Fantastic experience: The staff were all kind,supportive through the entire process and seemed to care thank you

Fantastic experience: Very satisfied with the center of weight loss. Everyone is just so amazing. Just had my one year checkup and very pleased with my care. They are still very supportive and are available for any questions or concerns. Glad I chose them.

Fantastic experience: Dr Lalor is the best!

Fantastic experience: Dr Lalor and his staff plus Wood County hospital is the best. He does tremendous work and takes well Carr of his patients

Negative experience: This review is in addition to the review of Dr. Peter Lalor that I left over two months ago (Please see photo of review left with this review.) On my two month visit, on March 7, 2024, Nurse Practitioner Laura Carder told me that she was told to talk to me because of the review I left about Dr. Peter Lalor. To make a long story short, she told me basically that I had to "accept" Dr. Lalor because they were a team and that I wouldn't be able to "come here" if I didn't. I found this behavior to be unacceptable, as a patient should NEVER have to "accept" ANY doctor's rude behvior. To make matters worse, Laura Carder had the nerve to text me the next day asking for another review, an "amended" one, no doubt. (See photo of text). I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE RETURNING TO THIS PRACTICE! (As I am sure anyone in my shoes would feel the same). I wrote to Joe Willford, Vice President of Practice, who happens to be Dr. Peter Lalor's direct supervisor.) (Please see photo of proof of receipt from the certified letter that I sent to Mr. Willford. The date is not on the card, but according to online tracking, the letter was received on April 5, 2024 by Nancy Messenger at the front desk. This letter had been mailed out the day before.) I wrote Mr. Willford two weeks ago (Please see photo of letter). To this date, Mr. Willford has NOT responded to this letter. It seems apparent to me that the administration of Wood County Hospital is NOT CONCERNED with the treatment of its patients, even though the patients are the people that help them pay their bills. My advice to the general public is this: STEER CLEAR OF THE CENTER FOR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY!! There are better options in the Toledo area that will respect you as a person and patient. My experience has been subpar with this surgeon, the nurse practioner and the Wood County Hospital administration. I will personally NEVER return here, even though I should have rightfully expected to get my six month and subsequent yearly visits here. It's simply not worth it. Do yourselves a favor and find physicianswho actually care. Janice Gilbert

Fantastic experience: Everyone there is amazing, they are so caring and helpful. I would recommend anyone that wants to get weight loss surgery to go with Dr. Lalors office. They have made me feel so well taken care of from the very beginning and answered any and all questions. From the seminar to my hospital stay and now a year Post Op, has been amazing. They give you all the tools you need to be successful with the surgery.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so caring and nice. I get all my questions answered. Thank you all.

Negative experience: Horrible place don't go here and waste your time they treat their patients like garbage then deny you for surgery without a good reason and I hope you have good insurance if you go here because before they deny you they will milk your insurance

Fantastic experience: I love the Center For Weight Loss Surgery I love Dr. Lalor and all of his team. They have taken excellent care of me starting 13 years ago and I am still over 100 pounds down after 13 years and they are encouragers to their patients and I have had surgery there other than my weight loss and I had excellent care by them in the hospital. I would recommend that anybody that’s having anything like that that’s the team to go to, thank you Dr., Lalor and your center for weight loss and your whole team, it is the best!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lalor and his team are amazing!!

Fantastic experience: The people at this office are phenomenal, from the receptionist to Dr.Lalor and everyone in between. They have been kind, supportive, and most of all encouraging!! I had my surgery yesterday and everything went textbook, they even found I had a hiatal hernia and repaired that while I was under. They have also been great with checking in while I am in the hospital to make sure I'm doing good and didn't need anything or have any questions. I would 100% recommend this office to anyone who is looking into weight loss surgery. Thank you Dr. Lalor and all of your staff!!

They made me feel comfortable and happy during my stay, and they listened to every concern or question I had. I’m extremely grateful for my medsurg nurses and patient care techs for everything they do. Dr. Lalhor and his staff are absolute gems! I really recommend his bariatric weightloss program to anyone looking at surgical routes for weightloss loss. Marsha and Ginger are incredibly caring and treated me with upmost support and respect and taught me how to adapt to this new lifestyle. Even the receptionists at Lahlors office are super helpful! Im so grateful to have wood county as my primary hospital. It’s close to home, convenient, and they are quick to take action. Alhamdulilah I’m so proud to have started this journey with wood county

Fantastic experience: These people are the greatest! They will go above and beyond to help you with your goals but you have to put in the work too!

Fantastic experience: I have had nothing but excellent care from this hospital. Every one of the staff was kind, friendly, and non-judgmental. Being that it is a weight loss program I thought i would be looked at and treated like the rest of the world treated me being overweight but that was so very far from the truth. I would highly recommend this program to anyone.

Positive experience: Because it took me almost the full year to help myself adjust to the diet I was denied by the psychiatrist and the nutritionist . I knew it would take a while for me because of my relationship with food and I told them that. I was extremely disappointed but hopefully they allow me when I come back in several months and start process all over. Other than the disappointment the process was a learning experience and helped me to be a healthier person. The staff was very nice and answered all my questions. The doctor was extremely knowledgeable and also answered all my questions.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so kind and helpful. They are extremely supportive and will do anything they can to help you. I am so impressed with the service and care shown to the patients here by all of the staff.

Fantastic experience: What a great experience..from the seminar, to the dietician appts, to the psychologist appt. I understood exactly what was going to happen and after surgery the nurses and staff at hospital were great!!! I can’t say enough about the whole process and experience. Thank you to you all!!! Here is to a healthier new me!

Fantastic experience: I am 9 years out from having weight loss surgery. Several pounds have tried to creep back. I find everyone in this clinic supportive, and willing to help keep me stay on track. No judgemental attitudes, simply supportive actions offered to help me stay on track with my goals, in spite of my more mature age. They don't give up, so neither will I. Thanks to everyone there.
