Dr. Lamond repaired two hernia's for me in 2019. I was excited to find her practice after a Google search for weight loss surgery revision. I decided to consult with her office to receive a second opinion regarding a potential roux-en-y gastric bypass revision after a dismissive consultation from a previous surgeon. She was just as considerate, warm, engaging and attentive as she was in 2019. I'm glad she didn't change. My receiving the best treatment plan for weight management was her focus.

Dr Lamond is an excellent surgeon who made me feel at ease. She has a good way about her, spoke to me in plain language that ai I could easily understand. If she ever got tired of surgery, she could easily transition to a media health professional.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/15/2025
I was Dr. Lamond's patient in 2019 for hernia. She's patient, kind and thorough. I was relieved to find out her practice may be able to assist with weight management, as I've rapidly regained weight over the last year. That's not a good sign for a gastric bypass patient; I'm 16 years out.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/2/2025
Good. We'd had a video chat. She's the one that said I needed to come in for an interview person
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/30/2025
Dr Lamond was courteous and welcoming but unfortunately she didn't take th time to explain the risks of the surgery I need urgently. I had to ask ChatGTP to explain the risks to me and they are more elevated than I thought. It seems that I will never be able to be full active after the surgery
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/18/2025
