"Dr Macura is a very caring man He takes the need of his patients in to consideration but does not forget the reason for them coming to him. He is to the point and talked to me not at me. He truly cares for all his patients. Before during and after Surgery. He stresses the blood workups and now 5 months later still wants me coming in to see him every 3 months and has stressed that if any problems arise I should call his office.
His staff is wonderful They have could have informed Dr Macura on a problem that came up 2 days before surgery and I had to work around them a little bit But when Dr Macura did get involved the problem was handled quickly and efficiently and they stayed after hours on a Friday afternoon to do so. I respect every one of them in his office. There is a former gastric Bypass patient on his staff so they do understand that I was going through 1st hand.
I myself having MS Dr. Macura took great care in making sure that My Neurologist understood the surgery I was planing and also conferred with him one on one what to expect from my MS after such a trauma to my body. In the words of my Neurologist "This is not the same thing as taking a flu shot" and I was glad to know Dr. Macura wanted his input into drug treatment for me and my MS. I was also glad the 2nd surgeon Dr Nacastro a Surgeon that specializes in High Rick Surgeries was there to meet me in the hospital the day of surgery and The bedside manor of both these men was as good as there exceptional surgical skills and being able to see the person as a person with feelings is just as important as knowing how to do the operation. Dr Macura and all his staff is Top A+++ in my eye. If you are in the Tri-State area and can get to Staten Island and are thinking of Gastric Bypass surgery Try to see him. You are more then a $ or a number in his eye You are a Person!!!"
