Gayla joined our bariatric  program in October 2008 and has defined the excellence in customer service that Commonwealth Bariatric Center is known for. Her enthusiasm, compassion and concern for each patient's well being is obvious from the first time you call the office, as Gayla is the "voice of the program". She will guide you through the process for bariatric surgery with efficency, accuracy and timeliness. Her professionalism, warmth and genuine concern for each patient is commented on frequently.

Gayla coordinates the patient insurance process, which is often challenging and frustrating for all involved. She is tenacious when it comes to getting an insurance approval and stays on top of the ever changing insurance criteria required for surgery. Gayla will take the time to sit down and meet with you individually to discuss the insurance criteria specific to your plan and answer all of your questions. 

Gayla enjoys learning as much about bariatrics as possible. Not a day goes by that she isn't asking a question, or three about bariatrics! She is a great resource to patients and will do whatever it takes to get answers.

Gayla is currently working on a degree in Hospital Administration and relocated to Kentucky from Alaska with her two children. In her spare time she enjoys watching her children participate in sports.

Gayla is also a certified LAP-BAND Champion.

Actual Patient Comments about Gayla:

Making the decision for WLS is not always easy. But it helps when you are dealing with people like Gayla. From the first  time you walk in the door and see that smile, til the day you go back for a follow up, you know if you have a question or need help, Gayla will be there for you.
 
I feel fortunate to have met Gayla preop and now I am very proud to call her my friend. Thank you Gayla for making this a super easy and pleasureable experience and thank you for being a very special person in my life and making me feel like I was somebody, even when I didnt think it.
 
Gayla has been wonderful since day one! She calmed fears and later helped me come out of my "shell" and find the real me. I have always felt more like a friend, even family, when I walk through those doors. When I finally had my surgery I think Gayla was one of the happiest for me. We shared tears, laughs, and hugs after my long journey paid off. I will think of her as a Forever Friend!
 
During my entire experience at CBC, Gayla was such a blessing.  She had the sweetest personality and she made my day brighter each time I spoke to her.  There were times when I was very frustrated and she would always provide encouragement and improve the mood of my day.  She is such a professional and an asset to CBC.
