I would recommend Doctor Ferzli to anyone who wants to jump start their life. The staff is so friendly and they help you every step of the way as long as you do your part. The support group meetings have really helped me understand post op life and how different eating will be. Overall, I would highly recommend Doctor Ferzli and his amazing staff to anyone wanting to lose weight with surgery.

I had my surgery on July 19th (gastric bypass) All the doctors and nurses at Lutheran Hospital were great. They helped me with everything that I needed and explained everything that needed to be exlained.
Since my first meeting with Karen, the coordinator, everyone in this office has been great. I have received a lot of information and was able to decide on a surgery that I am 100% comfortable with. I think the support group meetings have been the most helpful and I plan on coming as often as I can. Everyone was very helpful getting all the paperwork ready. I love how every person I spoke to said that I am not alone in this. That made me feel so good going forward with this surgery. Thank you to them!

I have a friend who works at Lutheran Hospital and told me that Doctor Ferzli is "the best in the business" for what I want. The bariatric program at Lutheran emphasizes aftercare and the team is very helpful. I mainly worked with Karen, the coordinator, Lisa, my nutritionist, Christine in the office, and Doctor Saperstein.
