"I love Dr Kane! I work at the hospital and I know that his whole group is great. But Dr. Kane I believe is just the best. I know for a fact that his Dad Dr. Kane Sr. was a pioneer in weight loss surgery. Dr. Kane Sr. has since retired. I believe that Dr. Kane Jr. has learned from one of the best... his Dad." -twinsma96

Contributing sponsor since 2009!
"I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Tom. He is an incredibly talented surgeon. I am now just over six months post-op RNY Gastric Bypass and he excelled in every way you would want your surgeon to excel! He did a flawless job with my surgery, I have had no complications whatsoever. He took the time pre-op to patiently and kindly answer all the questions I had for him. Now post-op, he is equally as patient and caring as he was before surgery. Dr. Tom and his talent as a surgeon allowed me to have a smooth transition to my new healthy life. I am now and always will be thankful he was the surgeon who did my Gastric Bypass."-lotsofhope80

Contributing sponsor since 2004!
"Dr. Snyder did my RNY in April 2003. He makes you feel so good. I went in there very embarrassed that I got heavy. He so understands the whole dynamic of what happens to a person that gets heavy for whatever reason. He made me feel very brave to fix my condition. Wow. When I had my surgery, I could call anytime for problems. I had never seen that before with any doctor. Very attentive. I trust him with my life. Now, I am very grateful for the follow-up care that he provides. I am 8 yrs out and having trouble keeping the dreaded weight off. He is getting me back on track. He is my doctor for life."-Debbie C.

"I could not ask for anyone more caring then Dr. M! The man moves at 200 MPH to be able to give as much time to his patients as possible. I promise you will never leave a meeting with out him asking you at least 3 times if you have anymore questions, and he is always happy to give you a full answer!"- kello
Joseph Chebli, MD

"My first impression of Dr. Chebli was that he is intensely interested in the well-being of his patients. For this reason, I decided that he would be the best surgeon for me. I knew I would need a surgeon who would give me every tool I needed to succeed and then actually expect me to do something with those tools! Dr. Chebli is that kind of surgeon."-samanthaz
