ECU Physicians Bariatric Center

I thought he was a great man, his staff was very nice. His fellows were also very involed in my surgery. He gave you all the information you need to make this work but let you know that if you have to keep up on your end or the out come will not be that great. He was an excellent doctor and if I had to do it agian I would pick him agian.

Dr.DeMaria and his staff were wonderful. I do not have anything negative to say about him. He has given me my life back. He did not sugar coat anything and told me it would be a life style change and not a quick fix. I can not thank him enough for what he has done for me.

Kind of quiet, very knowledgable, very calm. Ursula is great; a few other office staffers seem a bit spacey and don't communicate well with each other. The thing I liked the leastis that you don't actually meet Dr. Mann until you have completed all your preop tests and consults--fortunately, I liked him, because I would have hated to have all that done and dislike the surgeon who I was supposed to have do the surgery!

He emphasizes aftercare a great deal, and STRONGLY encourages excercise afterwards, in addition to the structured diet he has you follow. Ursula, his assistant, and Dr. Mann bothe addressed the risks of the surgery at each preop visit. Overall, I was very happy with Dr. Mann, as my surgery went well with no complications, and I was discharged two days later. My pain was well managed, both in the hospital and at home.

I think Dr. Mann has a good balance of surgical competence and bedside manner. He was a great choice!

I felt that he was very nice and informative. The office staff are nice and answer questions you have without acting as though you're bothering them. The office has a very structured aftercare and very detailed staged diet plan. the risks of the surgery are outlined and they don't hide the fact that death is a very real risk.

My first impression of Dr. DeMaria was that he was a man of great knowledge about this surgery. My mother had him and I met him for the first time at her first consultation. He sits with you and allows you to ask any qestions you may have about the surgery and the after care. I wouln't trade him or his staff for the world. Every time I call his office I get the help I need.

the best of the best!

My first impression was a bit skeptical because he seemed kind of stand offish. But once I got to know him, he was great.
His office is very neat and clean. Dr. DeMaria is the best surgeon for gastric bypass surgery you can find. He is 100% with you and aftercare is a must and freguent and you are given phone numbers to call in case of problems or just queations. Staff is very friendly and informative. A book is given to you before surgery that tells you exactly whats going to take place before and after surgery. What you'll be eating the whole time from the beginning until the year is up and then from then on. His bedside manner is great. You get what you pay for. He is great and MCV is great.

Dr. Mann is a skilled surgeon. I really like his assistants Ursula and Kari, they are very helpful.

I really liked Dr. Mann...His whole staff is great..very friendly..He explained everything to me, and answered all my questions..very easy person to talk to, I felt very comfortable and at ease the whole time.

I think when you meet someone with the rep of Dr. DeMaria your first thought is that of pure awe...I mean, this man has helped so many people. He was very calm and confident when he met my wife & I, and I was very impressed with his whole staff. Post op I am still in awe of this man and on my 3 month check-up (down 104 pounds) I thanked him for what he had done for me. He was very non-chjallant in his "you're welcome"...and that's one of his great traits. At the recent Walk From Obesity he was there with his children and I in jeans and I when you see your surgeon in that context you realize how human he is - I am blessed to have had him for my surgeon and would reccommend him and his team to anyone.
