George S. Ferzli, MD, FACS Bariatrics Bariatric Center

Doctor Ferzli seems like a very honest person. He reviewed the risks of the surgery and explained how it would be done. Overall, the program is very well outlined. The process to get approved is long but during the months of preparing, it gives you time to reflect on your decision.

The members of Lutheran's Bariatric Staten Island office were outstanding and very helpful. I have not met with my surgeon yet, however, I have heard that patients and hospital staff speak very highly of him.

I had an excellent first impression of my surgeon. This is an excellent program overall with aftercare emphasized. All aspects pf he procedure were instructed.

I initially met with Karen, the coordinator on my first visit, not the surgeon. I thought she was outstanding because she emphasized what the program entailed. I felt very comfortable with my decision to have lap band. I met with the nutritionist and Doctor Ferzli for follow up care and received all the necessary post surgery information.

I've heard only good things about Dr. Ferzli and I really enjoyed meeting him. I looked at other programs while I was making the decision to have surgery but I'm glad I made the choice to have it with him through Lutheran's program.

My surgeon, Doctor Ferzli is confident and kind. I was impressed with his experience and I felt I was in good hands because of it. All the staff, program coordinator, nutritionist and office staff have been very helpful and sweet.

I thought Doctor Ferzli and his entire staff were very nice when I met them.

I loved my surgeon when I first met him. He is the best in my opinion and the program he runs is excellent. Doctor Ferzli and his staff are very caring and make you feel like you know them on a personal level. They are so friendly and always willing to take time to answer all questions.

This program is great. I found the group meetings to be very helpful. There is so much aftercare offered and the staff makes it well known that this needs to be a lifetime change. Everyone is so dedicated and helpful there.

I love this program and I think the support meetings are very good and helpful. The program makes you very aware that there is a lifetime of afteercare. Everyone there is so helpful and shows a lot of dedication to make everything go smooth.
