Hear from Caroline, a Minnesota Bariatric Center patient who has experienced incredible results one year after her weight loss procedure.

I wish I could do more to garner attention for the excellent care I received as a patient of Dr. Lucian Panait and his staff. So many bariatric patients need his kind of willingness to help and guide patients through the process. It is a rare thing in today's climate of healthcare to find a warm and caring doctor who performs his work at such a high level of excellence. My situation had its unique aspects, as do all patients, and he was able to provide care from the first consultation through my procedure(done with professionalism at every level at North Memorial Hospital, btw) and the post op care. In a world where huge healthcare conglomerates make you wait for months and months for an appointment and offer inadequate solutions, Dr. Lucian Panait and his staff text you back, meet with you promptly, and get the job done with excellence and professionalism. I am grateful.

I am beyond grateful that I found Dr. Lucian Panait during my Google search. After reading reviews I scheduled an appointment. Prior to my visit I had an experience with a doctor I just couldn’t connect with, which was rare. After my 1st visit with Dr. Panait I cancelled all future visits with my previous physician. Dr. Panait provides the level of care everyone should experience. He’s extremely compassionate and attentive, most importantly he respects and responds to his patients. In addition to being happy with my new doctor I’ve also experienced amazing results with my weight loss and health since February 2024! I high recommend Dr. Lucian Panait, because you deserve to have a positive experience and relationship with your physician regarding your health!

Dr Lucien is very helpful, he is kind and understands the patients needs and preference. I found the clinic online and I am glad I did. I used to be in class 1 obesity but after 3 months,I lost 29 lbs and still counting. I feel much healthier and happier now.

I highly recommend Dr. Panait. He goes above and beyond to care for his patients and to make you feel heard. Navigating the healthcare system can be tough, and I feel so fortunate to have him as an advocate and my doctor.
