The office staff is great, as is Mike (dietician) and Dr. Orris. My only two complaints are that the wait time is sometimes extremely long and that I never received a call the day before my surgery. I had to call the morning of to confirm the time. I love the convenience they provide of having multiple locations and a Saturday option. Overall a very good experience with WLIAZ!

The WLIAZ is the absolute best bariatric surgery clinic! Dr. DeBarros is extremely professional and anytime I call or have the slightest concern; they get back to me ASAP! TY WLIAZ!

My husband and I chose a consultation with WLIA for lap-band surgery based off the recommendations from other nurses and they were right! From the moment we walked in the door, you could see from all the little touches that this doctor's office was different. About half of the chairs in the lobby were build for larger folks which was a relief for anyone that has had the horrible experience of trying to be comfortable in a chair that is too small. There were pictures of successful clients all over the place, and magazines that included articles and awards about the surgeons. The office staff had told us in advance that our appointment would be about two hours long and so we expected to spend some time there. They showed us into a consultation room and over the next 2 hours we saw a medical assistant who took my husband's medical history and drew blood, spoke with the financial advisor, the dietitian, and the surgeon. It was wonderful to accomplish in one visit what would normally take 4. When we left, my husband felt very comfortable with the staff and the upcoming procedure. Especially once we were notified that the staff travels together to the different offices and so we would work with the same staff members at every appointment. My husband and I are so happy we choose WLIA and would definitely recommend them to others.

Going to WLIAZ was a great decision. Meeting with Dr. DeBarros and his team went great. I was treated like a friend, not just a patient. They answered all my questions and always made me feel comfortable. The surgery went great and I've already lost 50 pounds. Thanks everyone.

After months of dieting and meeting with my primary care physician I came to WLIA on the recommendation of a business colleague. There were a lot of hoops to jump through but all was explained to me up front so I could jump through them as quickly as possible. The provided checklist kept me on track. The staff are welcoming and mostly responsive (a few unreturned phone calls were very annoying) that aside, they are all hard working, caring people who greeted me by name and always with a smile.

Dr. DeBarros is the most amazing doctor. I had my surgery done in 2007 and have never regretted a day of it. I can not say enough about Dr DeBarros and Dr. Orris and Mike Murphy RD and staff, they are very caring and want you to succeed in your weight loss journey regardless of what surgery you have done there (Lapband, Gastric Bypass, Sleeve). I had the lapband done and I still go in on occasion to follow up or just to show them how well I'm doing. I am treated like family and if I have any questions or concerns they are more than willing to help and go the extra mile for me. I will continue going there and suggest that anyone thinking about weight loss surgery go there and check them out, you will not regret it.

For many years I have tried and failed to lose weight so in desperation I decided to turn to weight loss surgery. After doing some research online I decided that Weight Loss Institute Of Arizona was right for me. I met with Dr. DeBarros and Dr. Orris at my initial consultation. They were both friendly, professional, answered all of my questions, and alleviated any concern I had about the procedure. I was very satisfied with the care that I received and am greatly looking forward to my procedure.

Seems like they are all very nice, friendly and helpful. They really want you to be healthy but never make you feel bad because of your weight or perhaps a bad choice. They just encourage you to make a better choice next time around.
