"Dr Gates did amazing work. No issues with a quick recovery. All the staff there are great to work with and have helped every step of the way with answers to questions and lend an ear talking into consideration the challenges my family and I have faced during this whole process. I recommend anyone that needs any of their services. Not to mention the hospital nurses have mentioned they have never seen any complications with the work done by Mountain West Surgical. If i have the option to return to them for surgery they have earned my confidence at all levels."

"To put it plainly, Jesus and Dr Gates saved my life back in May, 2025 when I had to have emergency surgery and afterwards for my 2nd surgery as well. Dr Gates is a true expert at what he does and he's very personable too. I felt extreme ease in his care and he comes highly reccomended!! PA Montana is also a true gem. You couldn't ask for someone who genuinely cares for her patients the way she does! I REALLY adore her! I'm so happy my care came into the hands of Mountain West Surgical, they are A++++++++!!"

"Dr. Gates and Montana were amazing. It was my first surgery and they helped me stay calm and assured me I was in good hands. Got into my consultation fast and then was on the surgery table within a week.
Post op was great, they answered all my questions and made sure I was feeling good.
All that and I didn’t even talk about the actual surgery yet. Started a little late but they kept me on track and got me in and out fast. It’s been two weeks and I feel great!"

"Dr. Jeremy Gates was absolutely wonderful! I had been in miserable pain for months and my regular doctors were not listening to my concerns. Dr. Gates showed genuine interest and concern for my wellbeing and acted quickly to provide me the care I needed to feel better. Dr. Gates has tremendous bedside manners and his skills in general surgery are phenomenal. The staff at his location are extremely friendly/welcoming and they take an interest in your care and life. Highly recommend them for any general surgery needs!"

"I was extremely happy with the care I received before and during my surgery with Dr Kaan, he was professional, compassionate and down to earth. My after care appointment was with Montanna Merrick, PCC she was also a wonderful person to work with. I would definitely recommend this team for a needed surgery.
Thank you for your care!"

"Exemplary medical practice from the receptionist to the surgeon. The medical support staff is phenomenal. After reviewing the literature regarding the post op pain after the removal of an internal hemorrhoid, I was apprehensive. My advice is simple: follow the medical team’s directions explicitly. When the doctor says fiber and hydrate, do so and avoid much of the post op discomfort. I can’t stress this enough."

"Dr Gates and P.A. Montanna Merrick came highly recommended by my general doctor, and they didn't disappoint. Dr. Gates went above and beyond to avoid abdominal surgery for an uncooperative gall bladder. Prior adhesions required Dr. Gates to spend more time and care to reach my gall bladder and remove it. Job well done! P.A. Montana was very thorough and answered all my questions at my post surgery appointment. I'm very grateful to both of them."

"Dr. Gates and his PA Montanna performed my lipoma removal, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Dr. Gates has a fantastic bedside manner and is incredibly easy to talk to. Scheduling was a breeze—even when I needed to reschedule my surgery, the office was accommodating and efficient. From the initial consultation to the procedure and follow-up, everything was clearly communicated, and all of my questions were thoroughly answered. I highly recommend Dr. Gates and his entire team—they’re professional, kind, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free."
