Dr. Ferzli explained to me in detail the risks and benefits of surgery. He has done this many times so he is very direct and confident. Patients need to understand that this is a marathon, not a sprint. The nutritionist Laura and the coordinator, Karen Sander were very helpful throughout the process.

Dr. Ferzli and his staff have been very helpful and informative. Dr. Ferzli is a kind, soft-spoken man. He was very patient ad explained any questions that I had. Every discipline of his staff is knowledgeable and emphasized the aftercare program. Future patients should know that they are in excellent hands.

I went to Doctor Ferzli because his reputation was excellent. Everytime I heard his name in relation to my surgery, it made me feel more confident that I chose the right surgeon. Also, when I went to my pulmonologist he confirmed that Doctor Ferzli would not perform surgery on me unless I had all my medical clearances. This reassured me that I was in good hands because I knew he was responsible ane ethical.

Love everything about my experience with Dr. Ferzli and his staff. He was polite, personable, and informative. His surgical team was friendly, and made sure you were comfortable and at ease, right up until the moment you went nighty-night. If he asked you a question, he LISTENED to your answer. If you asked a question, he listened, thought, and gave a response that you could understand. His staff was wonderful. They made the whole nightmarish pre-op process easy. My surgery was quick and easy. I was walking around the recovery room a couple of hours after my surgery, and was off pain meds by the next day. Went home after two nights in the hospital, and not one complication or issue. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Ferzli and his team to anyone who's looking into weight loss surgery.
Everyhting has been good so far. Dr. Ferzli and his staff are wonderful.

I had surgery with Dr. Ferzli a few years ago and have been very pleased with my results. Not only my weight has improved but the way I carry myself and my energy level has also. His team was very helpful every step of the way and continue to be. I recommend Dr. Ferzli whenever I hear people mention weight loss surgery.

Dr.Ferzli was my surgeon. I found him to be very professional kind and caring. What I liked about him and the staff was the fact that everyone treated me as if I were their most important patient. There wasn't anything about the program that I didn't like. Aftercare is just as important to see the doctor and nutritionist and they made sure the message were received.All staff members did their part and made the process a GREAT EXPERIENCE! !!!!! I'm so glad that my doctor recommended me to Dr.Ferzli!!!
