I recently spent a few days in NKC hospital due to abdominal pain. Dr. Berghoff was thorough in making sure that the pain was not Cardiac in nature. Ended up having an EGD that showed a suspicious area ( possible marginal ulcer R/T the Gastric Bypass). I appreciate that he really listened to my issues and I was able to bounce my questions off him, and he didn't dismiss me. I liked that we agreed upon the future plan of treatment. Thank you!

Dr Berghoff removed the fluid from my husband’s lap band two years ago and we discussed having the whole band removed. That procedure was done a week ago and he couldn’t be happier. We are very satisfied with their staff and Dr Berghoff. We would happily refer anyone needing their services with confidence.

Dr. Keenan Berghoff and the staff at TWLC are wonderful! Dr. Berghoff takes the time to actually listen to you and answer all your questions. He cares and makes you feel special. He actually saved my life by preforming the Duodenal Switch surgery on me in Aug 2022. I was a Type 2 diabetic who was on 5 Diabetes meds a day. I'm no longer a diabetic and don't take any meds for it. I also had high blood pressure and dangerously high cholesterol and I'm normal now and on no meds for either! I went from 207 lbs to 120 lbs in 9 months. I can never thank Dr. Berghoff enough! Fantastic doctor!!

Dr Berghoff and his staff offers nothing but the best in bariactric care. I had researched various bariactric surgeries for approximately 2 years. I read reviews, spoke to actual patients who had undergone a surgery that was offered. Then I researched doctors. Dr Berghoff’s name surfaced to the top on multi occasions. It was then when I actually decided to schedule a consultation at Total Weight Loss Center, specifically with Dr Berghoff. He was kind and professional. He answered every question I asked in a clear and precise manner. He made sure I understood before going to the next topic. We made a decision together about what would be best for me. I am now 1 week post op and I feel great. Don’t wait, if you have been thinking about bariactric surgery call Dr Berghoff’s team.

06/26/2023

Dr Burghoff and I have had a roller coaster of a ride for over 2 years. He is a very good surgeon and bariatric doctor. He has done several surgeries for me and I couldn’t be happier with him and his clinic. I am blessed to have him and his team behind me. Anytime I call for anything they call me back promptly, very professional, caring and understanding. I give a 10 out of 10. I could go on and on about all the great things about Dr Burghoff and his clinic .

06/21/2023

Dr. Berghoff is one of the best physicians I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He is focused on the patient, has a pleasant demeanor, and makes family members feel at ease. He listens to his patient’s concerns as well as the family’s. He’s personable in the way he makes you feel as if you are his only patient, his only concern, his only focus. This world needs more doctors like him.

Dr. Berghoff was very professional and friendly. He seemed to genuinely care about his patients.

04/05/2023

I had a very nice consultation, he explained each one of the weight loss surgeries to me. The pros and cons of each one, which I really liked. They're very knowledgeable on nutrition and very easy to talk to you.

01/16/2023

My husband and I went for a consultation with Doctor Berghoff. He was very personable and informative about all our questions. Dr Berghoff is very knowledgeable and encouraging about weight loss and becoming more healthy. We also met with one of their dietitian who gave us wonderful information about our journey in weight loss. I've been wanting weight loss surgery for years but hesitated because I wasn't sure who I could trust to do the job. I have a dear friend that went to Doctor Berghoff and had weight loss surgery and four of her nurse friends also went to Dr Berghoff for their weight loss surgery. I knew with her being a nurse and her recommendation of The total weight loss center that I had found the place to have my weight loss surgery as well. My husband and I are so excited about this new adventure in our lives with the total weight loss center!

01/05/2023

Dr. Berghoff was very informative and easy to talk to. He explained everything in ways it was easily understood and he took his time and answered any questions I had. I left feeling confident and reassured after meeting with him and his staff.

12/25/2022

Dr Berghoff is a very well respected Dr. I trust and respect his decision as my Dr. I would highly recommend Dr Keenan R. Berghoff to any of my friends and family .

12/06/2022

Dr. Berghoff is knowledgeable, patient and informative. He explains things in detail, asks and answers questions openly and honestly. He's very structured and black and white, but that was exactly what I needed. My surgery went just as planned and my recovery as well. Follow ups in his office both with him and his amazing staff made a huge difference to me in following the program and staying on track. I have ZERO hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for the lifestyle change he can offer and help facilitate.

12/07/2019

This doctor is wonderful. Very skillful, kind, patient with you and explains your surgery thoroughly. Makes you feel so comfortable and that he cares for you. I would recommend this doctor if you are considering bariatric surgery. You will be glad that you chose him.

02/10/2019

Dr. Berghoff is a trusted, experienced bariatric doctor. He knows exactly what to so and when to do it. Follow his plan and you too can be on your way to a healthier life! I wish I could show you before and after pics!!

After visiting 2 other Bariatric surgeons, in other cities, Dr. Bergoff was the only doctor willing to perform surgery because of a hernia. He did a sleeve surgery in November of 2017 and all is going well. I have lost 130 pounds, so far, and enjoying life so much more. He is a kind and compassionate doctor and has a wonderful staff that always returns calls promptly.

10/01/2018

He is an incredible doctor, very caring and easy to talk to. I felt completely confident in his care. Thank you dr. Berghoff.

He performed my Gastric sleeve 7 months ago which has helped me loose 130lbs so far (still loosing). I would recommend him totally! very caring and knowledgeable. He also removed my Gallbladder recently when I began having issues with it.

12/27/2017

This Dr. saved and changed my life. he performed Gastric Sleeve surgery on me and I have lost 125lbs in 8 months and am still loosing. I went from being a very ill individual barely able to function to someone that can work again that can move with less pain that can interact with the world in general again! He also did my Gallbladder removal surgery this past weekend too. GREAT bedside manner! Really listens to his patients. has great nurses and staff to help every bit of the way
