Before going to see Dr. Ferzli, I heard many, many wonderful things about him. When I met him, he was everything I heard and more. He is a good doctor, one that truly cares about his patients and is warm. Everyone in the office has been very helpful and always called me back when they said they would. I always felt comfortable calling or going there. I was provided with education and the opportunity to meet many people who had surgery. Both nutritionists are lovely and helpful and answered all my questions. Dr. Saperstein, the psychologist led the Brooklyn support groups with that I attended along with Emily, one of the nutritionists. It was a comfortable environment, one in which I was never embarrassed or uncomfortable to ask questions. I am so pleased to have chosen this program for all these reasons.

My surgeon is Dr. FErzli. My first impression of him was that he was very professional. He states the facts and tells it like it is. He is a great doctor and there is nothing I dislike. Future patients need to take this program seriously. The program emphasizes aftercare and the support groups are very helpful.

Dr. Ferzli is a miracle worker. He's fantastic. I liked everything about him; there was nothing I didn't like. I felt comfortable and safe in his care. Surgery works but you have to work for it too. Everyone who is part of the program is helpful. I was scared at first because I didn't know how I would be after the surgery. Dr. Ferzli and his team made me feel safe and secure. They well exceeded my expectations. I don't recognize myself at times thanks to Dr. Ferzli and his team.

Dr. Ferzli is my surgeon. He is very knowledgeable in the bariatric field. He has many years of experience and is very honest about what to expect with surgery. Surgery should be a last result, not a first option. The staff is very helpful and quick to help. The program emphasizes aftercare and the support groups are helpful.

Dr. Ferzli was very friendly from the first time I met him. He's concerned about the well being of others. Other patients should know that weight loss surgery needs to be well thought out due to the nature of this type of surgery. There is a lot of aftercare that the program teaches you about. Other members of them team, my nutritionist, coordinator,support group leaders, are very helpful. Support groups provide insight of what to expect after surgery. As a pre-op patient attending them, it made me realize that I'm not the only person who thinks about life before and after surgery.
