Dr. George Woodman Reviews

Memphis Bariatric Surgery Reviews

Patients across the Mid-South have trusted Dr. George Woodman with their bariatric care for decades, and the reviews on this page reflect that. Below you’ll find live Google reviews alongside written stories from patients who’ve had sleeve gastrectomy, robotic bariatric surgery, or worked with our team on medically assisted weight loss through semaglutide and tirzepatide injections.

Midsouth Bariatrics holds Diamond-Level Metabolic and Bariatric Center of Excellence status from MBSAQIP, and Dr. Woodman is an SRC-accredited Master Surgeon in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. Credentials matter, but they only tell you part of the story. The rest comes from patients describing what the experience was actually like, from the first consultation through long-term follow-up.

Reviews here cover patients from Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Jackson, and the surrounding Mid-South region. If you’re comparing bariatric surgeons in Memphis or weighing surgery against injections, reading honest patient feedback is one of the most useful things you can do before booking a consultation.

Reviews reflect individual patient experiences. Results vary, and any medical decision should be made in consultation with Dr. Woodman or another qualified bariatric professional.

This is awesome place. The doctor and staff are always friendly and willing to help in any way. I owe my successful weight loss journey to them.

“Dr. George Woodman and his staff have saved my life. Two years ago I was miserable and weight more than 350 pounds. After having gastric bypass surgery last year I am now well under 200 and have a new lease on life. Thank you Dr. Woodman.” – Leslie H

I am grateful to the care I received by Dr. Woodman and staff. – Danielle

My life has changed forever thanks to Dr. George Woodman and his program at Baptist Hospital. I can do things that I haven’t done since I was a teenager! – D Robinson

What an amazing experience! Of course I was scared but Dr. Woodman was such an expert that he put me at ease and was extremely thorough. I was prepared and now 1 years later literally a new person. Thank you Dr. Woodman! – Joleen M

Having surgery was one of the best decisions of my life. Dr. Woodman has operated on many of my colleagues, and they all recommended him and his team. I have a sleeve just about a year ago and am down to my college weight and feel great. Thank you Dr. Woodman! PS he always tells me that I did all the hard work and although I know that’s somewhat true, he did most of the work I think! – Adam S

So far I’ve lost 150 pounds and gained so many years of my life back I think. I feel great! – Jose R

Wasn’t sure where to turn but my friend had surgery by Dr. George Woodman at Methodist Germantown Hospital and did great so I went to a seminar and the rest is history. As well as most of my weight. He did a gastric bypass on me and gave me other options but I chose the bypass. I haven’t had one problem. Highly recommend the team and Dr. Woodman! – Yvonne M

Simply the best decision I have ever made. – R Jackson

I will be forever grateful for the care I received by Dr. Woodman. – Carol S

I feel great and would do it again. It was a little rough the first couple days but since then I followed Dr. Woodman’s instructions and haven’t had a single problem. Highly recommend. – Monica D

Very happy! I went to a different program at St Francis at first but never saw a doctor and felt like nothing was being explained. Dr. Woodman makes sure you understand your instructions and literally goes over and over them so you feel like you are comfortable and can do it. I had the sleeve and recommend it highly. I have referred at least a dozen people already. – Sarah Z

The gastric sleeve was the tool I needed to turn my weight loss failures into success. I am satisfied with small amounts of food and Dr. Woodman taught me how to choose properly. I feel prepared to make this long term. Thank you Dr. Woodman and staff. – Rudy T

I can’t believe how good I feel and can’t believe how terrible I used to eat! It’s incredible how good I feel and how little I really need. No doubt that Dr. George Woodman and his team helped me immensely. I want to say thank you! – Catherine C

I wish I would have done this years ago. What was I waiting for???? I’m very happy I decided to go through with it. – Maggie J

My life is so much better. More energy and higher quality of life. – Kathy K
