Hi fellow RIers,

After moving back to RI from MA, I think I'd rather get a new surgeon/team than travel back and forth to the cape for appointments. Covered by my plan are ::

Amaral, Joseph F., MD
Cioffi, William G., MD
Harrington, David Tobin, MD
Ng, Thomas, MD

Who has had these docs? Are they pretty good? Have good teams and offices? I'm almost 4 years out and am working hard at both getting on track again, and also hope to work on making a family, so I feel I need to consult with someone in the know for post-ops. 

Any information would be much appreciated!!

All four of those docs are part of University Surgical in Providence.  I don't think Amaral is doing much bariatrics any more.  Cioffi is a trauma surgeon.  Ng I believe is vascular.  Harrington is bariatric.  Also part of University Surgical is Dr. Dean Roye and Dr. Beth Ryder.  I adore Dr. Ryder.  She trained with Dr. Roye whom I've heard is equally terrific.

PM me if you have any other questions.

Dr Roye and Dr. Ryder are both excellent.  Both work out of RI Hospital.  I had Dr. Roye and he's the bomb!

Dr. Amaral is no longer in practice. Dr. Ng is a thoracic surgeon, You want either Dr. Roye/ Dr. Ryder or Dr. V. (Dr. Harrington, Ng, Ryder and Roye and Dr V. work for University Surgical Associates in Providence, so they are all covered under your plan) They are now located out of Colliyer Street.
