The care I received was excellent. My rating is solely because of the incompetent billing office. I paid the amount I was responsible for. After my surgery, they billed my insurance for over $100k, but they billed it incorrectly so it was denied. They took their sweet time re-billing and by the time they finally did, it was past my insurance filing deadline, so it was denied again. Three years later, they are attempting to bill me for $23k…all because THEY BILLED IT WRONG. I have an explanation of benefits from my insurance company showing I am not responsible for the amount, but that doesn’t seem to matter to them, so now I have to wait for it to go to collections so I can send the EOB to the collection agency showing I don’t owe this. DO NOT GO HERE. Go to the Bariatric Clinic at St Marks instead

I had a d-loop/sleeve enhancement with Dr. Cottam this month and was extremely impressed with his knowledge and skill as a surgeon, as well as his caring demeanor. I don't believe you will find a better surgical center than BMI Utah anywhere in the world. I travelled out of state to acquire the best possible care and was in no way disappointed. The staff made the process very smooth and safe. Every detail was covered and every precaution taken to ensure my comfort, success and well being. The OR nurse and recovery nurse were both top notch as well. They operate like a well oiled machine and because they were both thorough and efficient, my surgery went well, without a hitch, and soon I was home and recovering. You cannot put a price on good health, and it is a shame that insurance companies sometimes throw out obstacles to receiving such great care. I believe the reviewers who experienced delays or unexpected charges were probably hindered by their insurance companies and not by BMI Utah. Every interaction I had with every staff member was helpful and positive. What matters most is the skill of the care team and you will not find a more skilled team than at BMI Utah. I highly recommend them and have great respect and gratitude for the work that they do. I believe it will greatly enhance my health and longevity. Thank you Dr. Cottam and BMI Utah!!

Recently underwent Gastric Sleeve procedure with Dr. Cottam. BMI has assembled a wonderful team that seamlessly integrates with another wonderful team at Salt Lake Regional Medical Center. I can’t say enough great things about every single person involved in my experience. 110% recommend this wonderful group of people.
