Peter Fisher, MD

Contributing sponsor since 2005!

"Dr. Fisher did my LBL/BL (no Aug) 5 1/2 weeks ago and I can already tell that I am extremely happy with my results!! Dr. Fisher listened to all of my concerns (both medical and financial) and took them into account and gave me the exact result I had hoped for! He doesn't promise anything he can't deliver and is up-front with all issues he thinks he might run into based on your individual body-type. While he isn't the "cheapest" PS in town - you get what you pay for... and when it's something this permanent - I wanted the best!"-Melinda L.

Muhammad Feteiha, MD

Contributing sponsor since 2008!

"I love Dr. Feteiha! He and his staff are very supportive of what it is like to to go through the process of bariatric surgery. His staff was available for questions regarding the process. We discussed at length which bariatric procedure would be best for me and my lifestyle. He took a lot of time explaining the risks and benefits of the procedure. He post surgical care and follow up are very important to him and he requires every three month follow up for the 1st year. His surgical competence and bedside manner are nothing less than phenomenal. I know this because I work as an operating room nurse and I have worked with him. That is why I chose him. I felt he made me feel very comfortable from the word go. I have had nothing but a positive experience."-ldiana

Ragui Sadek, MD, FACS
Website: http://www.bariatricsnj.com
Contributing sponsor since 2009!

"I went for a consultation as a fluke, not really believing I would ever go through with it. After meeting Dr. Sadek and getting into conversation about my long battle with being overweight and at that point considered obese, I realized what was sitting right in front of me. He was the answer to my prayers, an honest and real person as well as a knowledgeable physician in the field. He listened and supported me 100% without making me feel pressured to go through with surgery if I was unsure. Two years later, I have lost 80 pounds and continue to find it easy to keep off. My speedy recovery and amazing doctor made this experience manageable. This was the best things I could have ever done and believe it is the best decision for anyone who has been fighting the same issues and need help at this point. Seeking a physician was the first step to my new life and I wouldn't trade my doctor from any other."-cgaud64980
