Don’t take our word for it, hear from our happy patients.
I'm a year post-op, and I haven't felt happier in my own body. I look on the outside how I feel on the inside. Everything is easier. I feel fantastic. I've lost and maintained about a 100 lb loss and met both my weight goals. Zero regret. I only wish I did this sooner. The monthly support group meetings have been extremely helpful, too. Plus I've made friends!
I was asked to leave a review. I have not really thought about my experience, however, I have been to one of Dr. Browns informational meetings at St. Als years ago. But at the time my insurance would not cover it. So I did not pursue the surgery as I could not afford it. So in May of 2023 I looked into it again. Dr. Brown was in a different clinic. Once again Insurance would not pay for it and I was miserable. I have been really struggling with my weight going up and down but the ups were more than the downs. I was 323 lbs at 5'8' at 49 yrs old, and completely miserable. I was having difficulting walking and in pain all the time. My mobility was really affecting my life. Being active took a lot of planning as to if I could even do it. Walking the grocery store was an issue.
They had CareCredit, so I applied and was accepted(you can also pay for the surgery in payments and once you reach the surgery cost you can get it done, i believe). The cost of surgery was very reasonable compared to other options.
I made my appointment and found it very enlightening. I decided it was worth the cost. I had the VSG in June 2023, passing all my test. A little over a year out I have passed my 'honeymoon' period and could not be happier. I have lost as of today a total of 136 lbs. My feet no long hurt, and the pain is gone. I have started working out to maintain what I paid for. I am very very glad that I decided to invest in myself.
All the staff, support staff, and Dr. Brown have been nothing but supportive in my journey. It was the best decision I have ever made. No it is up to me to continue to be successful. Thank you Everyone!!!

Dr. Brown's approach to bariatric surgery is unlike anything I've ever encountered. The reprogramming of your brain completely changes the way we think about food and obesity. The staff is warm, compassionate, kind, knowledgable, and innovative. I would recommend Idaho BMI and Dr. Brown to anyone and everyone I know!
Very friendly staff. Dr. Brown was very thorough in explaining everything and making sure I understood what he was talking about.
I seen Dr. Brown today very nice made me feel comfortable the staff was very pleasant would recommend this Dr. to all my friends and family
Amazing supportive group of people! Thanks Dr David brown! I appreciate you so much!
they were friendly and made sure I knew everything I needed to know..
Really awesome staff and doctor is knowledgeable in new science. If my insurance would pay I would a 100 percent recommend Idaho BMI. Since my insurance won't pay and I'm out of options cause the new weightloss shots don't seem to work for me I'm rolling the dice and heading to Mexico for surgery. I so didn't want to but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. If your reading this I would highly recommend Idaho BMI. Good luck with your journey.
First time of going tried every diet out there lost weight and gained weight. This is last hope and im proud of being able to do this and help me improve my life style. Thank you dr brown u and your staff are 5 star
Was very pleased with everyone, very easy to talk to everyone there. Dr. Brown explains in away you will understand why and how come for needing the surgery, Love his mannerism. And very handsome 😁
