Patient Reviews

The team at circle of care have been amazing from day 1. Dr Roy is so professional, knowledgeable and supportive. He takes the time to answer all questions thoroughly. The wider team have also been so supportive and friendly. I am so glad to have been on this journey with circle of care and would recommend them to anyone.

If you want to have a great team on your side for your journey to better health, the Circle of Care team is the way to go. So friendly and professional: they treat you like a real person. I initially used the team in 2004 then went back in 2021.

I can not recommend this comprehensive weight management crew highly enough. Do yourself a favour. 🌻

The team are amazing. They all support you all the way through. They are all so easy to talk to and offer constructive advice which I fully appreciated. Such a positive and healthy outcome for me and I have no hesitation in recommending Circle of Care. You won’t be disappointed

I loved how friendly and responsive all the staff were. I like that there was room to taylor things to me personally. So I saw psychologist before surgery to discuss concerns I had about overcoming mentally wanting to eat more than I physically could. I also had an eating plan in place to allow myself a late snack but was challenged mentally to push myself and try not to have it sometimes. This might not be much to some but like I said there's room to meet each person's needs and this was a big deal for me.

Sensational team. My partner has seen Dr Roy he was very professionally, kind also the team in circle of care are very helpful you can ring anytime they speak to you they are very helpful. The ladies in the receptionist are well trained with phone manners. This is how businesses become successful we were recommended by a friend to see Dr Roy. Now we will recommend circle of care to other friends.

The only little downside was the Lakeview private hospital which the nurses can be trained bit more. They seemed unprofessional. But there was one nurse who pretty much made us comfortable. We are not insured so it was not cheap adventure for my partner , so we would of expected bit more of a professionalism from Lakeview Hospital.

But we are extremely happy with circle of care team. I wanted to write this review so the team could be congratulated with there efforts and continue with the great work.

When I first met with Doctor Boccola at Circle of Care I immediately felt at ease. Weight loss surgery is not an easy decision to make. I had a tonne of questions that Doctor Boccola was able to answer and when I walked out of my initial appointment I decided then I was going to proceed with Circle of Care.

He walked me through the whole process and what impressed me the most was the ongoing support you receive from not only Doctor Boccola but also the dietician, counsellor and nursing staff who are there to educate and assist you whenever you need it.

Was my surgery a success? That is a big yes. 75kg down and I have my life back and I could not thank the team at Circle of Care enough for all their encouragement and support.

Have been a patient of Circle of Care since 2005 and have had Lap Band surgery in 05 and Gastric Sleeve in 2018. On both occasions, I couldn't have been happier with the surgeries, surgeons an follow up care. The after care program is great and I couldn't have managed the changes in my initial change if lifestyle with the support and care I was given. Highly recommend Circle of Care

I absolutely recommend the Circle of Care team and Dr Roy Brancatisano who was my surgeon for the sleeve gastrectomy in April last year. I have lost over 50 kg and now have a healthy BMI and have my life back. I could never have done it without the CoC team's help and I cannot thank them enough!

The BEST place i found when it comes to Weight Loss Surgery. My surgery was a success! The whole team are wonderful & they go out of their way to help you from the start of the journey until you no longer need help. But will still be there later down the track if you have any questions. I am so grateful to DR B. He gave me back my life!

I cant fault the service of the Circle of Care and Dr Roy. After many years of wrong advice and a botched weight loss program by another weight loss centre. I had 5 years of stomach balloons and feeling so sick ( yes I lost weight) but OMG I was sooooo sick, then the new procedure that came into Australia and yes I signed up for it , and the weight went on, and at nearly 100 kgs someone suggested CoC. Dr Roy was professional and lets just say fixed my botched procedure from a previous weight loss place. I have lost 11 kilos is 5 weeks I feel great the entire procedure was easy and painless, the hospital was fantastic I just cant fault the professionalism of the entire organisation. All I can say is ... why didn't I find CoC years ago? Dr Roy really showed care during the entire procedure and explained what needed to be done to get me to the point of operation, basically fixing a mistake of another centre. He is a true master of his craft and really knows his stuff, and a Dr that cares for his patients , go figure :) extremely happy and I cant Thank him enough for helping me, I feel like a new person now!

I was so lucky to be recommended to Dr Devadas, he is very caring and walks you through every stage prior and post surgery. The whole team at COC are just amazing. Thank you.

Dr. Roy did my gastric bypass operation and I had a smooth recovery period. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I can't recommend him enough.

I have had recent surgery performed by Dr Devadas. He was very informative prior to my surgery, the lead up to the surgery by him and his staff were also just exemplary. He is just such a caring, friendly and proficient doctor. His staff are friendly, helpful and give you all the advice and follow up you need. Dr Devadas and his staff, his bedside manner and post opp follow ups are more that you would expect. I can highly recommend this specialist. Debbie.
