Auckland Bariatric Surgery

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Dr. Grant Beban and Dr. Ivan Bergman. From the very beginning, they provided exceptional care, professionalism, and reassurance throughout my journey. Their reputation as leaders in their field is absolutely well-deserved. Following my gastric sleeve surgery, I achieved a 26 kg. weight loss, which is about 70% of my excess weight. This has been truly life changing. Prior to surgery, I struggled with hypertension, diabetes (HbA1c 78), joint pain, and low energy levels. Today, my blood results are within normal range, my energy has significantly improved, and I am now able to move freely and enjoy daily activities without pain. Dr. Beban's surgical expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to patient safety gave me complete confidence at every stage. Dr. Bergman was equally outstanding- his calm and thorough approach ensured I felt safe and well cared for before, during, and after procedure. What truly stood out was the exceptional care from the entire team- from the psychologist and dietician to the reception and surgical staff. Everyone was respectful, accommodating, and highly professional. My privacy was handled with great care, which was especially important to me given my work environment in health care. Both doctors personally reviewed me daily during my hospital stay, demonstrating a genuine commitment to patient care. The facilities at Allevia Ascot were also outstanding-modern, clean, and very comfortable. The entire experience was smooth, well-coordinated, and handled with genuine compassion. I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact they have had on my health and quality of life. If you are considering this journey, you will be in the best possible hands with this team. I highly, highly recommend them.

I had such a great experience with the team for my weight loss surgery. From the start, Mr Grant Beban was incredibly thorough and supportive. He walked me through everything, the procedures, possible complications like reflux, and tailored a plan that really took into account my medical history. I felt completely informed and confident going in. Olivia, the dietitian, was amazing. Super approachable and always happy to answer my many questions about food and alternatives. She made the whole process around nutrition feel manageable and clear, even when I felt overwhelmed. The surgical team and nurses were also fantastic, professional, kind, and reassuring every step of the way. I’m now two and a half weeks post-op, feeling great, and have had no complications. I really felt supported throughout the whole journey, and I can’t thank the team enough.

Saw Mr Grant Beban for a fundoplication and hernia repair, they took care of me well, made sure I was comfortable after the surgery - so far most of my GERD symptoms are gone.
