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.

Dr. Jeffrey was quite possibly the best medical doctor I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. He took the time to sit with me and make sure I understood all the information he was relaying to me. I even mentioned that I'm a visual learner, and he took it upon himself to grab a piece of paper and draw things out for me for a clearer understanding. He drew out the placement of my organs and made things so easy. Truly a remarkable doctor, an asset to HFH in my opinion. I will recommend him to all my friends and family no doubt.

*Dr. Genaw, my new friend, is very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain what was going on with my body in great detail that I completely understood.

Disappointed in Bloomfield, MI – Mar 03, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Genaw?
I highly recommend Dr. Genaw to anyone even considering bariatric surgery! As a registered nurse I know the incredible skill it took for Dr. Genaw to perform my gastric bypass. I had abdominal adhesions due to having 9 cesareans! Dr. Genaw only took an additional 5 minutes to deal with the adhesions and do the bypass. I was back home and in my own bed the next day. I did my research when choosing Dr. Genaw and I couldn’t be more pleased that I did!

A massive talent, Dr. Genaw performed a VSG on me at 420lbs. 2 years and 2 months later I have lost 202lbs. and am now a "normal weight" for my height, with a BMI that has gone from 51 ti 31 without suffering. Yes! There are 'lifestyle changes'. But, when you realize that the old lifestyle that was going to kill you needs to go, you pack its bags, put a $20 in its pocket, and direct it to the local bus station! I'm 61. I am better now than I was at 40. Post op patient care stinks.
