Dr. A is as good as they come. Throughout the entire process, he kept me well informed and was very supportive. The surgery went well with minimal pain after. I wouldn't have done anything differently. If you're considering a bariatric procedure, I highly recommend Dr. A.

I have been seeing Dr. Acholonu since September 2021 and on the first visit, it was obvious he cared about helping me improve my health (and my life). He is very personable, explains things well, and answers all of my questions. I never felt safer or more confident going into the OR with someone. He seems to have very advanced surgical skills, he used robotics to perform my surgery and my recovery was better than I could have expected. I left the hospital not needing any pain medications. I couldn't believe it! With COVID my... read more
