My surgeon was great. I was very well informed preop and post op. Patients should know that preparing for and after surgery are not a walk in the park. But this program emphasizes aftercare. Everything and everyone involved in the program was of great help and assistance, especially the nutritionists, psychologist, staff and support groups. It's a perfect combination.

Dr. Ferzli is amazing! He always makes me feel like I've known him my entire life. He treats his patients like they are members of his family. On the day of my surgery I saw Dr. Ferzli three times before I even went into the O.R.,he came in and stood over me,making sure I was comfortable and at ease. After surgery Dr. Ferzli went directly to my family to assure them all went well. I was in the hospital for three nights,and saw Dr. Ferzli every day. Whenever he checked on me ,I felt like it was my father at my bedside. His bedside manner is beyond spectacular! He is very calming and his voice is soothing. He speaks softly. It does not make you feel like a child,but he makes ypou feel comforted. He is extremely attentive to his patients. My surgery was a success and I feel "GREAT". I couldn't thank Dr. Ferzli enough.Speaking on thanking,there is Dr. Ferzli's staff. One more wonderful than the other. First, there is Ms.Karen Sander R.N., I liked her from the moment we met. She knows exactly what she is doing. She is thorough,efficient,funny and warm. As I was going through the steps to get to the surgery,Karen was always there for me. To answer questions,to listen to me complain or if there was a problem with one of the doctor's. She is definitley the go to person! She is FANTASTIC!!Second is Ms. Emily Bostrom, Nutritionist. The first thing you notice about Emily is how sweet she is. She is a great nutritionist. She knows her stuff. She explains to you step by step exactly what must be done to ensure success after surgery. Emily is also very caring and yes,she is sweet. She is extremely professional,but she truly wants you to succeed,so her warmth pours out of her. I could never see myself speaking with another nutritionist none can compare to her! The third are two members of Dr. Ferzli's staff
Lauren and Patty. The both of them are hard working (always crazy busy) women.They are smart,on the ball,and seem to run that office. The rest of Dr. Ferzli's office staff is lovely as well,but I pretty much delt with Lauren and Patty cannot imagine that office running so smoothly,if it weren't for them.

Dr. Ferzli was very approachable abd friendly. He has a very professional office staff that are available for all your questions. The offer support groups that are helpful. They also offer nutritional support before and after surgery. All of the bariatric team work together with you to achieve your goals throughout the process. I'm very happy with my choice of this bariatric team.

My surgeon is Dr. Ferzli. I was fortunate to see him for my initial consultation and he was wonderful! He was extremely welcoming and comforting. I do not have a complaint whatsoever. As a matter of fact, every physician I went to for clearance raved about my choice in surgeons. The support group meetings and attention to underlying health issues have greatly emphasized aftercare. The nutritionist and the psychologist have made the process so smooth because I really understand the potential "beyong physical" symptoms and challenges that may arise post operatively.
