George Ferzli Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

Adam Kolker M.D. Plastic Surgeon <My first impression of Dr. Kolker was,\" this is the one\". As soon as i met him and shook his hand I knew. He is warm,friendly and highly skilled.His knowledge and professionalism surpassed any other surgeon i met before.My impression did not change, it only got better.His office staff are also warm,friendly,organized young professionals who are always willing to help. They always have a smile on there face and greet you with a warm welcome each time you see them. I have only good things to say about Dr. Kolker and his staff, they have given me a new life free of back pain and excess skin. You should know that he is number 1 in my book and others i have referred agree, his work is meticulus, his talent and knowldge exceptional.His before and aftercare programs are very informative and include a vitamin regimen to help you heal faster with less bruising, and follow up visits after surgery are weekly.Dr. Kolker is very encouraging and informative at follow ups and spends plenty of time with his examination and explanations on further care and for best healing results.He encourages a healthy lifestyle including diet and exercise. Dr. Kolker addressed all risks of surgery in informative layman terms which were easy to comprehend and took the time to answer my many questions without hesitation. I would rate him a top surgeon with excellant credentials and would recommend seeing him before any other. He has it all excellant surgical competence and an excellent bedside manner. I can not say enough nor thank him enough for the life changing surgeries he performed on me. I will be forever grateful and thank god that i found a surgeon like Dr.Kolker,

I liked him to start with, very interested in what I had to say. My impression did not change. His staff is very helpful and kept me up to date on everything. He is very strong about his opinions and what should be done. He is very strong about aftercare and has various thing set up. He explained everthing throughly. I would rate him great. I trust him to do my surgery. I would say both are important surgical competence and bedside manner but If I had to choose it would be competence of course. Do to have surgery next month.

MY SERGEON WAS DR. GEORGE FERZLI IN STATEN ISLAND NY. HE WAS THE SWEETEST, KINDEST MAN THROUGH IT ALL! THE GENTLENESS OF HIS BEFORE & AFTER CARE WAS WELL BEYOND WHAT I EXPECTED & WAS VERY PLEASED TO HAVE HIM AT THIS TIME IN MY LIFE. PLUS THE FACT HES A SURGERY GENIOUS! lol!! OFFICE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL THREW IT ALL.

Office staff welcoming and warm, even though I was very late for the consultation. Kevin thoroughly answered all my questions and provided me with the information packet detailing what my next steps are. Meet with Dr Ferzli himself and was extremely impressed by him. And totally thrilled that he will be performing the surgery himself!rnrnSo far, after initial consultation, I have to rate the center and staff ****.

Dr. Ferzli and his staff are great! Everything is prepared for you from A-z so you now what needs to be done from the beginning, no surprises, they even have a checklist. More importantly Dr. Ferzli is a great surgeon. I had no compications and am healing quickly!

The office staff were very nice and helpful, a lot of paper work to fill out, but worth the wait. The surgeon was very nice and answered any questions you may of had and described both precedures to their fullest.

I met Dr.Ferzli with my sister in July 2006 and he exlpained everything about the operation very well. My sister works with heart surgeons and she referred me to Dr.Ferzli as he is well known for his Bariatric surgery at Lutheran Hospital in Brooklyn, N.Y. His staff has been and still is a great help to me. They answer any question you have and help you with everything. There meetings are also great and helped me alot decide in which surgery to have. I had my RNY on 4/3/07 and the surgery went well and the Hospital stay was great.They treated me very well. I would highly recommend Dr.George Ferzli and his Staff to anyone considering having the Bariatric Surgery. Thank you guys so much!!rnI rate Dr.Ferzli 100

I have not met Dr. Ferzli yet but my Dietitian, Ms Irene Nicolaides highly recommended him. She used to work with him for 3 years. Ms. Nicolaides Spoke with the best words about Dr. Ferzli. I also read the reviews and I really want to meet him I will make an appoitment to see him in 2 weeks. The only probem is that I live in Queens. But... i am very excited!!!

My first impression was that he is very kind and professional......Dr.Ferzli's office staff is great and very, very helpful....Dr.Ferzli's program is mapped out for you from the minute you consider the option of weight loss surgery....they have a step-by-step checklist for you to go by.....the information they provide is amazing.....Dr.Ferzli has a lot of surgical competence, after my surgery I had medical students telling me how lucky I was to have such a great surgeon working on me....Medical students have told me they think he is the best at what he does.....his bedside manner is also great....my mother told me that after my surgery when he came down to speak with her, he really explained with detail how the surgery went and was very helpful in answering any questions she had.....he also came in and checked on me throughout my stay at the hospital....he always had a smile on his face and was always responsive to any questions or comments I had....I recommend Dr.Ferzli to anyone in the NY/NJ area considering weight loss surgery.

Dr Ferzli & his entire staff have made this journey a lot easier for me. They truly are great and I would recomend them in a second to anyone considering this surgery!
