Excellent and friendly doctors & staff in a clean, modern facility with reasonable fees. People from other states come here to avoid the red tape and ridiculous fees.
While Dr Cavazos was great after having the surgery it seem like the team didn’t care anymore and less you were spending crazy amounts of money on their supplements and products. 
10/10 would recommend! Everyone here made my experience super easy and straight forward. I was really nervous going in and they calmed my nerves right away.
Very, very friendly. They listen, don’t rush to the next client and it’s very laid back and peaceful. They don’t seem to pass judgment or push you into something you aren’t ready for.
What a great practice!! This group of professionals all care about their clientele and have their best interest at heart. I highly recommend this practice.
Staff nice and friendly…..Not giving 5 stars because they didn’t take the time to confirm and verify my insurance. Charged me as a cash patient, and told me to wait and see how my insurance processes my claim.
I am totally disgusted with this place they did a Tele call appointment with me never told me that I will be charge for this appointment they never bothered to ask whether or not I had insurance. So A year out of Surgery they will schedule you an appointment and if you don’t have insurance they will bill you. So be buyer beware.
Great experience!!!! The doctors and nurses are wonderful and answer all questions. Their office is quick to return calls. Of course My favorite is Dr. Pilcher!!!!!
Great place to start a new life.
Continued support to stay successful. Doctors and Staff are dedicated to help you to stay healthy before, during and after.
Wonderful experience so far. Love the doctor and the nurses and feel as if I’m not alone in this journey! I’ve already told three friends to come there.
Dr. John Pilcher is great. However, it’s very hard to get a callback from their office. And some of the office staff is not too friendly. It’s a shame for such a beautiful facility and nice doctors.
Dont go to this place. I did the baloon procedure. The first week you feel miserable because your stomach is trying to reject that baloon. It burns a lot. They give you medication for the stomach. They are greedy to stabilish a …
The absolute best bariatric practice in south Texas. Dr. Cavazos really cares informs patients with all options then helps
clients pick what’s best for them.
I had tried many times to lose weight, to little or no avail. I had less than desirable results with other weight loss clinics & different diet centers. I was ready to just give up, then as a last ditch effort I met with Dr. JJ Gonzales. …
If you are looking for help with your weight loss and want to see the best TEAM in South Texas, look no further. The staff at Texas Center for Medical and Surgical Weight Loss are very caring and supportive. You couldn’t ask for better doctors, nurses and office staff. I love my weight loss TEAM!
Tried the balloon – total waste of $7,500. Am considering a second surgery and have been trying for two months to get in touch with Dr. Pilcher – I have emailed, left messages with the front desk, and messages with his assistant – and no return call. Very disappointed.
I will always be greatful to the whole team at Sage Bariatric for being a call, email or appointment away to help me out. When I do get to go to monthly support group meetings it’s time never wasted becuase I learn something new from everyone in attendance. Everyone’s equal and no meetings are ever the same.
Sage Bariatrics is the top leader in Bariatric Surgery for San Antonio. I am very pleased with the results delivered. I love the surgeons at Sage Bariatrics.
They are with you every step of the way. Before surgery, after surgery/during recovery, as well as after surgery to see how your progress is. Great staff. Would recommend to anyone.
I always enjoy my visit with nurse practitioner Golden. She is always helpful with my journey with weight loss and maintenance.
Front staff very professional.
I have had a very positive experience with Northeast Baptist Hospital and with Texas Center for Medical and Surgical Weight Loss. They are easy to access and are timely with appointments. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who is interested in weight loss surgery.
Vanessa is my PA and she’s outstanding along with the rest of the staff. The help you through the whole process. Always encouraging you to stay on track and educating on food and supplements. Good group.
Dr. Pilcher performed gastric by-pass surgery on me almost seven years ago. Over the years there have been some complicating incidents most of which were connected only perifically (if at all) to the by pass surgery. But Dr. Pilcher was always there whenever I needed him. He is not only a skilled surgeon but a wonderful human being.
Dr Pilcher and his PA are the best! The staff is wonderful and my appointments are always on time. Their fee is reasonable too considering the excellent care I get!
The staff was friendly. After months of waiting for an appointment I get to my visit only to find out they scheduled me for the wrong type of Dr. which was a waste of time off. Now I have to wait until July.
I had gastric bypass on January 12, 2015 done by Dr. Cavazos. The surgery went great and I was up walking the hallways 20 minutes after returning from the Recovery Room. The only discomfort that I felt was from the gas and I felt like I …
They are all totally awesome !! They have helped me tremendously before & especially after my surgery.. Thanks to Dr. Sonny Cavazos & the rest of the staff I have already lost 104 lbs & I am still losing more every day… Thank You, Thank You, Thank You from the bottom of my heart & my family !!!!
Dr Alvarez, Linda Golden, Heidi and the others are awesome! I was terrified at the start of 2014 when I first decided to do bariatric surgery. The excellent team at NE Baptist not only helped me calm my fears but also have made any questions extremely easy to ask. I highly recommend them to anyone considering this surgery!
I feel comfortable with the staff and confident with the information and advice that is given to me. A dedicated and caring staff committed to the well being and success of their clients. However, followup on electronic communication could be more prompt.
Staff was very friendly and the doctor was very polite and knew exactly what we talked about over the phone. He made me feel very comfortable with my decision.
Love the Results I have gotten since my Surgery , and everyone is polite and understanding my needs, and I Appreciate being a Patient Thanks Dr: Pilcher and to the Staff for Their good Job They Do; Stay Safe.
My husband and I have been a patients of Dr. Gonzalez since 2009. Everyone in the office has always been very welcoming and never given any attitude when I ask 10 million questions! Sixta, Hope, Diana have all been a blessing as well as …
I want to Thank The Lord for Dr Alvarez.. He really saved my life. I totally recommend the gastric bypass. I had mine done in 2003 in Ohio. I moved back to Texas. After all these years I had a hernia and a couple more things wrong but it …
I arrive at Sage Bariatric Institute after frustration with other staff of bariatric surgeons in the San Antonio area and his bad attitude to my case.
I met Dr. Ricardo “Sonny” Cavazos and his group …
Dr. Alvarez is the best ! He saved my life. 16 Years ago I had Vertical Banded Gastroplasty. Over the years I was having a lot of GI problems and had gained a lot of weight back. Dr. Alvarez is amazing. The band had begun to erode. I …
Both my husband and I are sleeve patients of Dr. Pilcher and aside from our health improvement and increased activity, Dr. Pilcher is the best physician! His bedside manners are superb and compassionate. You cannot go wrong with him!
Dr. Gonzales is amazing, and the staff was terrific. Special props to the nurses in the recovery and the dietician who answers my thousands of questions. It’s almost been a year and the only thing I would change is having done this for myself sooner.
Excellent staff in providing top notch customer service. Dr. Cavazos is my surgeon. Excellent bed manners, approachable and most importantly, KNOWS what he is doing. Don’t let his young appearance fool you. Over 20 years of experience he is the Best! Thank you Dr. Cavazos!
Very caring, helpful, listening, patience, educational,and Doctor Cavazos did marvelous job on my surgery. Dr. Golden is great she gave me Good advice.. Everyone is Good here.
I had the surgical sleeve done and hernia surgery done by Dr. John Gonzalez. He is a great Dr. makes you feel comfortable and explains everything in plain English. All the staff and assistants are also wonderful.
Dr. Cavazos and ALL the staff at TCFMSWL were so awesome throughout my entire weight loss journey – from before my first official appointment to my latest (2 year post-op) appointment. I always feel like I “matter” to them. I’m not “just …
Dr Gonzalez and his support staff are an amazing personnel. I completely recommend this clinic. Thank you to all for all the support. A special thank you to Dr. John Gonzalez for taking the time that I needed. I appreciate all your time.
I am so grateful I found Sage Bariatric Institute in my journey to the “new me”! Dr. Cavazos was an excellent and honest surgeon. I would definitely recommend Sage to anyone!
Thank you Dr. Cavazos and TEAM!! Y’all are amazing and have given me my life back that I thought was gone forever. I read many blogs from other WLS patients and they ask basic questions I learned from our educational courses early on. This …
Surgery is scary right?! Of course, however, EVERYONE at Sage Bariatric was very kind, welcoming and helpful. Sage Bariatric walked me through every aspect. Answering all of my important and not so important questions. I mean ok… …
Hands down the best Bariatric Surgeon. My OB/GYN recommended Dr. John Pilcher years ago. After years of research I would not have gone to any other doctor. He is an expert in his field and yet he is so personable and down to earth (rare these days!). You will not be sorry.
I was scheduled for rny on 12/21/19. During my registration there was an issue with a prior surgery I had had. The dr was able to work with the anesthesiologists and all was good. The faculty is amazing and the care you receive is even better!!!!
Sage Bariatric and Dr. Ramiro Cavazo’s & staff have literally saved my life! Before my gastric sleeve procedure, I was at a very unhealthy 570lbs now am at 313lbs and still losing weight. It has been a life altering experience. They are still working with me to get me to lose even more weight.
My experience has been wonderful. I had my lap band since 2008 and lost 90 lbs.
Dr. Gonzales did my surgery and Linda Golden has helped me with my annual check ups. Everyone has been helpful and I have been able to keep my weight under control.
I had not been able to utilize Sage Bariatrics because of an insurance change. Had been several years since I had been there. They treated me like an old friend returning. Picked up great service where we left off.
I would strongly recommend this Institute to family and friends, the staff is very knowledgeable and the doctors are amazing. The waiting time is on point. NP Vanessa I just feel comfortable she an amazing person and you can talk to her about anything, very professional many blessings to all
All the staff greeted with smiles and were efficient in completing the tasks at hand. No waiting- always punctual and respectful of the appointment time. Dr. Gonzalez is amazing!
DR. Alvarez is amazing! I decided to do the gastric sleep in September of 2017. I was nervous about meeting my surgeon for the first time. He made me feel comfortable right away. I felt that I was truly in good hands. We also had one thing …
Dr. R. Cavazos is fantastic! He has such a wonderful bedside manner and is very caring during the entire process. His staff is passionate, responsive and attentive to each and every patient. We can’t say enough about this team! 5 stars isn’t enough.
Had my consult with Dr. John Gonzalez. He is so down to earth and personable! He explained everything to me in great detail, and you can tell he is very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. I’m so happy I found this office, they have made me more confident in my decision to have surgery.

The best, most professional bariatric staff. I have been with Dr. John Pilcher for over 8 years, and will never move on. He has always makes his patient’s wellness is paramount. He reaches out to patients when things are not going well. The Sage groups medical staff are also awesome.

The staff is very friendly and welcoming
While Dr Cavazos was great after having the surgery it seem like the team didn’t care anymore and less you were spending crazy amounts of money on their supplements and products.

Very, very friendly. They listen, don’t rush to the next client and it’s very laid back and peaceful. They don’t seem to pass judgment or push you into something you aren’t ready for.
I love the staff and Dr. Cavazos. He absolutely changed my life and the staff are always pleasant when I need any kind of help!
What a great practice!! This group of professionals all care about their clientele and have their best interest at heart. I highly recommend this practice.
From start to finish they wonderful, I love my doctor and would recommend him to everyone. Dr. Pilcher is amazing and theirs staff!
They take very good care of you. From beginning to end I’ve never had a bad experience, a wrong date, or anything. I would recommend them to everyone.
Staff nice and friendly…..Not giving 5 stars because they didn’t take the time to confirm and verify my insurance. Charged me as a cash patient, and told me to wait and see how my insurance processes my claim.
I had a gastric sleeve on December 30th by Dr. Alvarez. Wonderful Doctor and staff! Would recommend them to anyone that needed this surgery.
Very informative. Answered all my questions and concerns. Dr. Alvarez is an amazing doctor and has a wonderful bedside manner. Very attentive.
I am totally disgusted with this place they did a Tele call appointment with me never told me that I will be charge for this appointment they never bothered to ask whether or not I had insurance. So A year out of Surgery they will schedule you an appointment and if you don’t have insurance they will bill you. So be buyer beware.
My experience has been great so far.
Great experience!!!! The doctors and nurses are wonderful and answer all questions. Their office is quick to return calls. Of course My favorite is Dr. Pilcher!!!!!
Dr Álvarez and he’s team are so nice very friendly and helpful I can wait to start my journey
Great place to start a new life.
Continued support to stay successful. Doctors and Staff are dedicated to help you to stay healthy before, during and after.
Wonderful experience so far. Love the doctor and the nurses and feel as if I’m not alone in this journey! I’ve already told three friends to come there.
Dr. John Pilcher is great. However, it’s very hard to get a callback from their office. And some of the office staff is not too friendly. It’s a shame for such a beautiful facility and nice doctors.
Dont go to this place. I did the baloon procedure. The first week you feel miserable because your stomach is trying to reject that baloon. It burns a lot. They give you medication for the stomach. They are greedy to stabilish a …
Best place you can go in Texas for weight loss surgery. Dr. Pilcher is the best hands down.
The absolute best bariatric practice in south Texas. Dr. Cavazos really cares informs patients with all options then helps
clients pick what’s best for them.
I had tried many times to lose weight, to little or no avail. I had less than desirable results with other weight loss clinics & different diet centers. I was ready to just give up, then as a last ditch effort I met with Dr. JJ Gonzales. …
If you are looking for help with your weight loss and want to see the best TEAM in South Texas, look no further. The staff at Texas Center for Medical and Surgical Weight Loss are very caring and supportive. You couldn’t ask for better doctors, nurses and office staff. I love my weight loss TEAM!
Dr Alvarez and Vanessa are amazing and really make you feel like you are their only patient. They listen to you concerns and are always encouraging!
Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Love this place. Dr. Pilcher was the best. I felt so comfortable and knew I was going to be taken care of.
Tried the balloon – total waste of $7,500. Am considering a second surgery and have been trying for two months to get in touch with Dr. Pilcher – I have emailed, left messages with the front desk, and messages with his assistant – and no return call. Very disappointed.
I will always be greatful to the whole team at Sage Bariatric for being a call, email or appointment away to help me out. When I do get to go to monthly support group meetings it’s time never wasted becuase I learn something new from everyone in attendance. Everyone’s equal and no meetings are ever the same.
Sage Bariatrics is the top leader in Bariatric Surgery for San Antonio. I am very pleased with the results delivered. I love the surgeons at Sage Bariatrics.
They are with you every step of the way. Before surgery, after surgery/during recovery, as well as after surgery to see how your progress is. Great staff. Would recommend to anyone.
Dr. PILCHER is the most conscientious surgeon I have ever known. I’ve had no trouble with any surgery he has done on me.
I always enjoy my visit with nurse practitioner Golden. She is always helpful with my journey with weight loss and maintenance.
Front staff very professional.
Office staff are professional yet very friendly. Dr.Pilcher is a wonderful physician. He is so knowledgeable, friendly and caring.
I have had a very positive experience with Northeast Baptist Hospital and with Texas Center for Medical and Surgical Weight Loss. They are easy to access and are timely with appointments. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who is interested in weight loss surgery.
Vanessa is my PA and she’s outstanding along with the rest of the staff. The help you through the whole process. Always encouraging you to stay on track and educating on food and supplements. Good group.
Dr. Pilcher performed gastric by-pass surgery on me almost seven years ago. Over the years there have been some complicating incidents most of which were connected only perifically (if at all) to the by pass surgery. But Dr. Pilcher was always there whenever I needed him. He is not only a skilled surgeon but a wonderful human being.
Dr Pilcher and his PA are the best! The staff is wonderful and my appointments are always on time. Their fee is reasonable too considering the excellent care I get!
The staff was friendly. After months of waiting for an appointment I get to my visit only to find out they scheduled me for the wrong type of Dr. which was a waste of time off. Now I have to wait until July.
I had gastric bypass on January 12, 2015 done by Dr. Cavazos. The surgery went great and I was up walking the hallways 20 minutes after returning from the Recovery Room. The only discomfort that I felt was from the gas and I felt like I …
They are all totally awesome !! They have helped me tremendously before & especially after my surgery.. Thanks to Dr. Sonny Cavazos & the rest of the staff I have already lost 104 lbs & I am still losing more every day… Thank You, Thank You, Thank You from the bottom of my heart & my family !!!!
Dr Alvarez, Linda Golden, Heidi and the others are awesome! I was terrified at the start of 2014 when I first decided to do bariatric surgery. The excellent team at NE Baptist not only helped me calm my fears but also have made any questions extremely easy to ask. I highly recommend them to anyone considering this surgery!
I feel comfortable with the staff and confident with the information and advice that is given to me. A dedicated and caring staff committed to the well being and success of their clients. However, followup on electronic communication could be more prompt.
Staff was very friendly and the doctor was very polite and knew exactly what we talked about over the phone. He made me feel very comfortable with my decision.
Love the Results I have gotten since my Surgery , and everyone is polite and understanding my needs, and I Appreciate being a Patient Thanks Dr: Pilcher and to the Staff for Their good Job They Do; Stay Safe.
My husband and I have been a patients of Dr. Gonzalez since 2009. Everyone in the office has always been very welcoming and never given any attitude when I ask 10 million questions! Sixta, Hope, Diana have all been a blessing as well as …
I want to Thank The Lord for Dr Alvarez.. He really saved my life. I totally recommend the gastric bypass. I had mine done in 2003 in Ohio. I moved back to Texas. After all these years I had a hernia and a couple more things wrong but it …

Dr. Alvarez is the best ! He saved my life. 16 Years ago I had Vertical Banded Gastroplasty. Over the years I was having a lot of GI problems and had gained a lot of weight back. Dr. Alvarez is amazing. The band had begun to erode. I …
Both my husband and I are sleeve patients of Dr. Pilcher and aside from our health improvement and increased activity, Dr. Pilcher is the best physician! His bedside manners are superb and compassionate. You cannot go wrong with him!
Dr. Gonzales is amazing, and the staff was terrific. Special props to the nurses in the recovery and the dietician who answers my thousands of questions. It’s almost been a year and the only thing I would change is having done this for myself sooner.
Excellent staff in providing top notch customer service. Dr. Cavazos is my surgeon. Excellent bed manners, approachable and most importantly, KNOWS what he is doing. Don’t let his young appearance fool you. Over 20 years of experience he is the Best! Thank you Dr. Cavazos!
Very caring, helpful, listening, patience, educational,and Doctor Cavazos did marvelous job on my surgery. Dr. Golden is great she gave me Good advice.. Everyone is Good here.
I had the surgical sleeve done and hernia surgery done by Dr. John Gonzalez. He is a great Dr. makes you feel comfortable and explains everything in plain English. All the staff and assistants are also wonderful.
Dr. Cavazos and ALL the staff at TCFMSWL were so awesome throughout my entire weight loss journey – from before my first official appointment to my latest (2 year post-op) appointment. I always feel like I “matter” to them. I’m not “just …
Dr Gonzalez and his support staff are an amazing personnel. I completely recommend this clinic. Thank you to all for all the support. A special thank you to Dr. John Gonzalez for taking the time that I needed. I appreciate all your time.
I am so grateful I found Sage Bariatric Institute in my journey to the “new me”! Dr. Cavazos was an excellent and honest surgeon. I would definitely recommend Sage to anyone!
Thank you Dr. Cavazos and TEAM!! Y’all are amazing and have given me my life back that I thought was gone forever. I read many blogs from other WLS patients and they ask basic questions I learned from our educational courses early on. This …
Surgery is scary right?! Of course, however, EVERYONE at Sage Bariatric was very kind, welcoming and helpful. Sage Bariatric walked me through every aspect. Answering all of my important and not so important questions. I mean ok… …
Hands down the best Bariatric Surgeon. My OB/GYN recommended Dr. John Pilcher years ago. After years of research I would not have gone to any other doctor. He is an expert in his field and yet he is so personable and down to earth (rare these days!). You will not be sorry.
I was scheduled for rny on 12/21/19. During my registration there was an issue with a prior surgery I had had. The dr was able to work with the anesthesiologists and all was good. The faculty is amazing and the care you receive is even better!!!!
Sage Bariatric and Dr. Ramiro Cavazo’s & staff have literally saved my life! Before my gastric sleeve procedure, I was at a very unhealthy 570lbs now am at 313lbs and still losing weight. It has been a life altering experience. They are still working with me to get me to lose even more weight.
My experience has been wonderful. I had my lap band since 2008 and lost 90 lbs.
Dr. Gonzales did my surgery and Linda Golden has helped me with my annual check ups. Everyone has been helpful and I have been able to keep my weight under control.
I had not been able to utilize Sage Bariatrics because of an insurance change. Had been several years since I had been there. They treated me like an old friend returning. Picked up great service where we left off.
I would strongly recommend this Institute to family and friends, the staff is very knowledgeable and the doctors are amazing. The waiting time is on point. NP Vanessa I just feel comfortable she an amazing person and you can talk to her about anything, very professional many blessings to all

Anyone considering Bariatric surgery owes it to themselves to consider Sage Bariatric. Surgeons are top notch. The support system is great. And the long-term aftercare (Dr Pilcher did my gastric bypass in 2005) is exceptional. I recommend highly!
