Danbury Hospital - Center for Weight Loss Surgery Bariatric Center

I met with dr Zuccala on the 8th of October and he was very thorough as well as compasionate. He explained the proceedure and how important after care as well as group support will be. He is working with another surgeon, Pierre Saldinger who I found to be very nice and put me at ease while explainig the scope of the major descision I was making. The office staff, Sue the nurse, Colleen-insurance, Mary and Cathy are all very nice and patient with my zillion phone calls every time I had a question.
1/4/02 Met with Dr Z again today and he was very funny and comforting. And put my mind at ease and I am ready for surgery in 4 days

Very friendly and professional.
Explained everything throughly, took plenty of time and let me ask questions which he answered to my satisfaction.
The office staff is very nice and the nurse Sue Fox is very good at explaining everything and making you feel relaxed.
I didn't find anything I disliked about Dr. Zuccala.
The office is new and set up to handle obese patients.
He emphasized after care and will have support groups.
Yes it will be a structured program.
Yes he addressed all the risks of the surgery.
I would rate him as excellent.
Both seem to be great.
