Dr. DeMaria, was the lead in the bariatric clinic when I had my surgery. He was the best as far as I was concerned and he was who I requested to be my surgeon. I did my homework and researched him and he was well qualified to take me into his care. Going through the weight loss clinic at Duke, we go every 3-4 months for a checkup and for group therapy and group nutrition. I love these meetings, you get to meet others in different phases of the WLS and get to hear what they have gone through. If I had it all to do over with again, I would choose the same hospital, same Weight Loss Clinic and same surgeon. Everyone at the Duke weight loss clinich are very professional and all seem to really care about you and your privacy. When they weigh you, they ask do you want whomever is with you to stay there. If you say no, they are outta there. They are looking our for you and your feelings. I love that place. You do not get to spend alot of time with Dr. DeMaria, his assistant comes in first and he talks to you and examines you. The Dr. DeMaris comes in and finishes up. He will stay as long as you need him too. But I know he is a very busy man and we only kept him long enough to answer and ask a few question. I recommend this clinic, doctor and hospital to everyone.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. DeMaria. He is very soft spoken and kind but he has tremendous skill. rnrnI had anticipated enduring a period of great pain and discomfort but it did not happen. rnI have not had a lot of pain and the soreness went away after just a few days. rnrnMy recovery to this point has far surpassed my personal expectations.

Dr Mann is very nice and knows his stuff. He reviewed all the possibilities and outcomes before surgery. He smiles and is friendly. He does not joke around alot. He handled my complications and my routine surgery which turned out to be not so routine once we got in there with ease. We are still working on post op infection but he has not done anything to change my opinion of him. I would definately recommend him.
My first impression was great, I thought that he was very proffesional and informative. My impression hasn't changed over time. The office staff was awsome! He addressed the surgery from every aspect and I left feeling totally comfortable and informed. My all around experience was great! I thought that the after care(post 3 months) wasn't quite worth the drive all the way to Greenville from Jacksonville.rn
My First meeting with him was on 10/10 he seemed very approachable. He listened and explained everything very well, sure of himself but not cocky, very confident and cautious.
My first impression of Dr. Mann was wow, he may look serious but he is really nice!
Over time, my opinion or feelings never changed. He is absolutely awesome.
Dr. Mann's office staff is great. They never get mad or aggrevated just because I call over something silly. They are very compassionate and understanding.
What did I like least about Dr. Mann? Nothing. He was great!
Future patients should know that he is very nice but he gets straight to the point. He's really big on exercise and to me all in all, he is a excellent surgeon.
Dr. Mann's aftercare is phenomenal. He came in everyday to check on me and to see if I had any problems or questions. He would always say how proud he is of me.
Dr. Mann told me straight out what the risks of surgery was but he also told me the benefits too so that eased my mind a whole lot.
I would rate Dr. Mann a 20 out of 10. Yes he is that good!!
I truly believe that both his surgical competence as well is his bedside manner is awesome. Better then awesome. All I have to say is if I had to do it all over again, I would not chose any other doctor. He's the best!!
Outstanding surgeon, highly skilled in his trade, was very friendly to me and has a great bedside manner! Office staff is pretty good except for the satellite coordinator that they used who is now GONE hurray for that. I would recommend him to anyone considering bariatric surgery.
Dr. DeMaria has excellent credentials. I was impressed. My first impression was that he looked younger that I thought he would be. LOL! I've only met him once, last month. I've dealt with the rest of the staff more. The office staff has gone through changes during the past six months that delayed getting my tests and things up to date. I had to fax some of my test results 3 and 4 times but they finally got them out of the fax machine and into my file. I have a feeling the office is just now starting to get back to the efficiency they were accustomed to. Overall the girls in the office now are great to deal with.
