"I first saw Dr. Zuccala on a billboard on the highway advertising Danbury Hospital's weight loss surgery department and it's reputation. I saw him next at the information seminar given to perspective WLS patients and he was just wonderful. He came across as very genuine and very caring. As time has gone on my impression of him has not changed merely been enhanced as I see how well he works with his staff and other healthcare team members to get the best possible pre-op work ups and information to safeguard his patients. The entire staff in the bariatric surgery department are bar none some of the very best people I have ever worked with in the medical field. All calls are returned promptly and with all questions answered as soon as is physically possible. Any future patients should know that Dr. Zuccala and straff are in my opinion an excellent resource and I feel very confident in referring them without hesitation. There is a HUGE emphasis on aftercare, what is required and above all this is a TOOL and we are encouraged to be good stewards of these new bodies...all appointments post-op are to be kept and new life changes to be instituted to stay healthy. Dr. Zuccala was very frank about what can happen as far as surgery risks and possible complications as well as how to avoid them when possible. Overall I would rate Dr. Zuccala as an excellent clinician and not only a very professional and knowledgable man but someone who is doing this because his heart is in it. rn"
