I could not be more pleased with the care and attention that Dr. Mourot has taken with me and my family. He is always patient and takes plenty of time to explain everything and has been very patient in answering our questions all the way through the process. After several medical concerns the last few years, he is the one that gave us exceptional attention.

All around fantastic experience with TWLC! Amazing surgeon. Explained all procedures and offered his advice on the one that would be best for me but in no way pushy. Answered all questions with patience and care. Would 100% recommend Dr Mourot and TWLC!

09/11/2024

Dr. Mourot is very friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. His office "worked me in" for an appointment the very day that I called them. He actually saw me even earlier than my scheduled appointment. My appointment was for 11:10am, but I arrived around 10:40am. He was in the room at 10:50am, and I was on my day home at 11:08! Scheduling my surgery was an easy process as well. I'm very impressed!

11/07/2023

He is amazing….. My journey started Jan 2023 at a different Hospital and Dr. I went through all my steps it took me 9 months. I was on a clear liquid diet for 14 days the last 5 days my Dr called me and gave me a ridiculous excuse and cancelled my surgery. I was devastated I couldn’t believe what was happening to me. I reached out to TWLC and I was welcomed with open arms. I just had a Gastric Sleeve Oct 31st. So please make them your first call you won’t regret it.

05/12/2022

From my first appointment, pre surgery/surgery/inpatient post op, and follow up's, Dr. Mourot is FANTASTIC! I feel he truly does understand each patient is different and cares about his patients health and success. I was very nervous going into the OR and he talked me through every step, which really helped to relax. After surgery Dr. Mourot and his staff have been so informative and supportive in my progress.

04/07/2022

He is so caring and by far the BEST surgeon my daughter has had! Excellent bedside manner. He has went above and beyond with his patient care.

10/29/2021

I had a double hernia that had suddenly worsened in the summer of 2021. Dr. Mourot saw me soon after I contacted the clinic and then got me scheduled for outpatient surgery very quickly. The surgery was very successful on both sides. I highly recommend Dr. Mourot and this clinic. He and the other staff including their nurse practitioner are very professional and accommodating. Also Dr. Berghoff did a successful emergency appendectomy on me in 2013 and likely saved my life.

10/26/2021

Very efficient and easy

01/10/2021

He is amazing. He saved my life when he did my gastric bypass. Simply amazing doctor!!

09/24/2020

Best surgeon ever! He is attentive, caring, compassionate and listens to you! He has done several of my surgeries and would recommend him to anyone!

01/15/2020

Dr. Mourot did my Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (DS) on July 9, 2019. He is a part of the team of wonderful surgeons and supporting staff at Roller Weight Loss and Advanced Surgery in Fayetteville, Arkansas and he doesn’t get enough credit as far as I am concerned. When I first saw Dr. Mourot, I was already five months into another bariatric program, one I was completely unhappy with and whose staff and team had earned my distrust with their behavior and whose support system was horrible. Dr. Mourot inherited this mess and I was up front with him about the problems I experienced with this other doctor and his “team.” There could be no missteps or I would just back out of the whole thing. That is just where I was emotionally when I went there at the recommendation of friends who were patients, one of whom specifically recommended Dr. Mourot and the DS surgery, which turned out to be the right choices for me. I love that he communicates well with both me and my family ab
