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.

EVERYTHING ABOUT DR. AUTIN!!!!Patience, caring, empathetic, attentive, LISTENS to concerns of the patient. VERY NEAT SURGERY, took all necessary precautions to make sure my scar would be minimal and my incision would heal without complications or infection. Second time he has performed surgery on me. As a veteran nurse of 39 years, I highly recommend Dr. Robert Autin for all surgical procedures.

This has by far been the smoothest process and honestly easiest medical procedure I’ve ever done. The Teams with Acadiana Weight Loss and Ocshners Bariatric group are amazing. They are there every step of the way. Every detail is worked out and lined out for you to the tiniest detail. Any questions you have they answer and you don’t feel like a complete fool when asking them. The process is long but so worth it and with these guys backing you it’s worth every minute. Dr. Autin is an amazing surgeon. Very down to earth and understands everything you are going through considering he has gone through the surgery himself. I highly recommend him as your surgeon but I’m sure the others are amazing as well. Last but not least my hospital stay was the best I’ve ever had anywhere. The staff at Ocshners Lafayette General were a dream. Very attentive and friendly. So if you are thinking about having the surgery meet with the team for a consult. What’s it gonna hurt?

Dr. Autin is very attentive to the patient's needs. He truly cares and does the best procedure for the patient. I healed beautifully after, and he did a great job on my incision sites. I would recommend him to anyone looking to seek bariatric surgery.
