Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Bariatric Sleeve
She makes the process very understandable and goes over any/all concerns. She is very down to earth and easy to speak with. She did my sleeve which was the BEST decision I made. The process from my initial appointment to my follow up care is nothing short but amazing. She really cares about your process and making sure that your needs are met. Would HIGHLY recommend her for your Sleeve. She is such a gifted Doctor and has completely changed my life.

Dr. Aquilina has been an attentive, knowledgable, gifted surgeon and I'm lucky that I did my research on her. She came highly referred by my best friend's sister who had the same surgery. My hernia Doctor also said good things about her. I am 4 months post-op, feeling like a new me, thanks to Dr. Aquilina and her assistant Ashanti was very good at coordinating.
