Dr. Sedrak and his team are amazing. They really care about their patients and absolutely changed my life. I was suffering from terrible reflux and they were able to assess the reasons why and did a procedure that not only fixed my reflux and ulcers, but also resulted in some weight loss, as well! I feel great and would recommend this doctor and his team to anyone!!! Wonderful!
Dr. Sedrak and his staff are incredible.I had Gastric sleeve and hernia repair Surgery one year ago. Dr. Sedrak literally saved my life, I’m 44 years old and feel fantastic now. The staff at Life Back make everything easy. So happy I called.
I was very unhappy with the way I looked and felt. I had done my research on the gastric sleeve and had made several calls. And then I found Dr. Sedrak. When I spoke with Greg I instantly felt comfortable. When I went in for my consultation the staff made me right at home. They answered all my questions and I knew this is the place. Surgery was a success .
After over a year of chest and stomach pain I went to Dr Sedrak's office for a consult. Come to find out I had a hiatal hernia and high acid. I was very scared of the high risk of throat cancer from the acid and needed to fix all the other stomach issues I was having. Dr Sedrak was amazing. He walked me thru all of my options and answered all of my questions. There was no doubt in my mind I would be getting the procedures done at this center. Everyone behind scenes was amazing thru it all. Gregory was always available for any questions I may have had during the process. Surgery went well and staff was amazing. This team was not only amazing to work with but took such great care of me. Thank you for everything. Feeling great.

And now I have so much more energy. I thank you so much! Now I can be that energetic Mom/Grandma that my babies need And the staff is so helpful and always going the extra mile to make sure you are always taken care of.
Stellar surgeon, and unbelievably fantastic staff! I had the vertical gastrectomy or gastric sleeve/VSG surgery with Dr. Sedrak on 02/04/2017. I only met with Dr. Sedrak once before surgery; I found him direct and confident, and based on my research he really was the surgeon for me. My surgery was as close to "a breeze" as I could have hoped for; I recovered quickly, with minimal scarring and no significant pain. Anytime I have a question I am able to text or call Dr. Sedrak's cell phone number... HE answers ALL of my questions in a quick response not a message service. To be able to CALL my surgeon personally and talk to him was incredible. Okay... so for the staff.... I can honestly say I owe my surgery to Greg Gutierrez. Greg works directly for Dr. Sedrak and his patients. I was referred to speak with Greg from a colleague and I had conversations regarding the process over a 10 month timespan. As soon as I became mentally prepared to say “yes” to take my life back, Greg courted me through the entire process. Again, HE was quick to answer ANY call or text question I had and was a real encourager without being pushy at all. Greg is a miracle worker with patients as much as Dr. Sedrak is with performing his sleeve. He continues to follow up with me about every 4-5 days. He could have treated me like a number... but he didn't. I am healthier and happier as a result of Dr. Sedrak's work and Greg's dedication to helping patients. All other staff I've worked with and talked to have been wonderful. They are ALWAYS sweet and helpful.... it's such a pleasure to work with an office of people who really treat the patients with respect. Thank you all for your hard work! You have no idea the lives you're changing!!
This place saved my life. Dr Sedrak is a wonderful doctor. I went in for the sleve and ended up having gastric bypass. We did many tests to find out which surgery would be best for me. After thorough testing, I found out that I have Barretts which is pre CANCER. My insurance company denied my claim and Dr. Sedrak went to bat for me. He fought the insurance company until they said yes. Dr.Sedrak saved my life. His staff, Jenny, Paul, Dr. Kamal and of course my friend forever, Gregory are all here to help. I will recommend Life Back Medical to my family and friends. If there were 10 stars they'd get that and more from me!
I came to them to repair an inguinal hernia in my lower abdominal wall that had quickly progressed into the size of a soft ball. I first spoke to Gregory who is very much the face of the clinic and just a genuinely a really caring guy, and that becomes apparent within the first 2 minutes of speaking with him. Not only did he get my information to move forward, but he took the time to talk to me, to get to know me better and to make sure that any question or concern I had was answered. While this particular incident didn’t directly involve me, I believe it speaks to their nature and to the high regard that they hold for their practice. I was sitting in the waiting room filling out the paperwork needed prior to my surgery. A couple whom I had shared the waiting room with was also there for a surgical procedure, and when they arrived Gregory came out to greet them and sat in the waiting room with us all. He is very much the face of the clinic and the facilitator behind the scenes. Greg knew every patient and his wife by name, he knew the patients father, and I could tell by the conversation they were having that Greg also knew a great deal about the man’s father on a level that would have suggested they had known each other for a good deal of time. When I asked how long they had known each other I was surprised to hear that they had only recently met. Gregory had known the man’s father from a previous procedure a few months ago, and had remembered every detail the father had told him. So, it wasn’t that Greg had been a family friend, but that he had committed their conversation to memory because he genuinely cared. For me Greg was the guy who got things done. Within 3 days of calling him to set an appointment Greg had cleared me for surgery that same weekend, had facilitated our insurance paperwork, spoke with the clinical specialists to get me in to surgery as quickly as they possibly could and was there at any time if I had a question. Every member of the staff contacted me to field questions, to advise me on what needed to happen, and really focused their efforts on just taking all the anxiety and stresses of dealing with the coming surgery away from me and made sure they handled everything. My procedure went forward without issue, and I was home again that same night and able to rest and recover in the comfort of my own home. The next morning, I didn’t just get a follow up phone call from their front office. Gregory, Jenny the Head Nurse, Dr. Sedrak, and the anesthesiologist all called to check on me multiple times over the course of 5 days. If I did have a question or if I needed anything they were there to answer it. In fact, on the second day of recovery I had contacted Jenny with a question and she let me know that Dr. Sedrak was in surgery at that moment and that she’d let him know to call me back as soon as he came out. Within probably 10 minutes I received a call from the anesthesiologist who Jenny had also called and asked to answer all my questions. After which Dr. Sedrak again took time in between surgeries to call me and ensure that every single question I had was answered as thoroughly as possible. It’s been 2 weeks since my surgery. I’ve healed incredibly fast and am able to walk without pain, there are no signs of my hernia protruding through my abdominal wall, and the scar is almost non visible. Still, even now they continue to text me and make sure I am doing well. So, what sets them apart? It’s simple; they genuinely care about the well-being of everyone they meet. For them, treatment is the most important aspect of their job. You’re not just a patient, or a pay check, and they’re not just there to treat you. They are there to give you your life back, and as a result they make the world a little better with every person they are able to help. There is no better Doctor. There is no better team, than that of Dr. Sedrak and his staff at Life Back Medical. They don’t just meet the standard of a great clinic, they set the standard.
Dr. Sedrak and his staff are awesome. Friendly, professional, and informative. They go above & beyond in making you feel safe & comfortable. 6 wks out & I’m very happy with my results and progress. No more heartburn or acid reflux.
