Fairfield County Bariatrics Bariatric Center

I have only met with Dr. Floch once, and I would say it was quite a favorable impression. His staff is very helpful so far. This wasn't my initial feeling, I felt so lost afterwards...so many Dr. appointments and they don't really speak to you until you have completed these initial appointments...but now I see that probably 100's of people start this process and only a percentage follow through to the end. I am so grateful for Mandy at Dr. Floch's office...she is always pleasant and has been very helpful and tolerant of my phsychotic ramblings.

compassionate doctor


felt very comfortable
great staff
understanding, explains things so I can understand
there is nothing I o not like about them
that he makes the visits pleasureable and makes you feel very comfortable so that there is not second thoughts

very much, always making sure that I am doing the right thing at all times

routine visits with many questions of care


very well explained which is routine, but I had no doubt that I was in good hands

fantastic, and my family is very grateful for the way I am feeling and how well I am doing

both great, surgical compitance is extremely important, but bedside manner is also, it makes the patient more at ease and helps the healing process be more positive


I have nothing bad to say, the only thing that I was a little uncomfortable about was the hospital stay, not all the nurses were easy to get along with, but overall I had a
great recovery and a positive experience.

The recovery was so quick and with so little pain on my part, that I would, if I had to, do it all over again.

Great guy, great group, it is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I have sent friends and relatives to info meetings and two friends have had surgery and one more is awaiting insurance approval. Very good post surgery care and support. All three surgeons are freindly, supportive and very competent.

It is hard work getting in all the water and protein required in the beginning, but it becomes second nature after a while. The staff in the office were always available to help.

I very much like Dr. Floch. He is very easy to be around. He is very supportive and he really encourages you to go to support groups. His staff is very nice. There are no magazines in his waiting room, so you need to bring a book. He and his staff emphasize aftercare and have semiars with lots of different speakers, one company came and spoke about dietary suppliments, and there was a personnel trainer. There was a clothing swap, and a clothing donation to a group who gets women off welfare and back into the workplace. He was very serious about the risks that you take when you have surgery. I wpuld give him an A+.

He made me feel very confidant in my decision.

It only change in a positive way.

Very warm, pleasant and always willing to help.

Nothing.

him and his staff will work with right up to your surgery day.

To the extreme.
Yes.

During our sugery plan visit he went over the risks. They are also talked about during meetings and support group.

Excellent.

Both are great,but i'll take surgical competence.

Dr. Neil Floch is an excellent surgeon and person. He not only gives me the medical support I need, but also the metal support as well. His staff is as excellent as he is. I am extremely lucky to have found him and am a much healther/happier person to have him in my life.

I love Dr. Neil Floch. He has a great bed side manner.

My impression of him only got better with the follow up visits.

The office staff is alway kind and professional.

That he is an excellent surgeon and I would recommend him.

Yes, he sees his patients quit often after surgery. Every two weeks, once a month, then every six weeks and so on.

Overall my experience with Dr. Floch has been great. I am glad that I chose him to do the surgery.

I would think you need a doctor with both surgical competence and bedside manner. They need to know what they are doing, but also be able to keep there patients calm and comfortable about the surgery they are going to have.

My first impression of Dr. Floch was that I liked him right off the bat. My impression only got better over the past 8 months. His office staff is fantastic. There was not one thing that I didnt like about him. Future patients should know how nice he is and his office staff is. He emphasizes aftercare a great deal and his aftercare program in my opinion is structured. He went through the risks of surgery with me throughly. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give Dr. Floch a 20. His surgical competence and bedside manner are GREAT!!!

My initial impression of Dr. Floch was that he was young, but I had been assured by my Internest that he was THE guy to do this surgery, so I went forward with him. I am so glad that I stayed to find out what a knowledgeable, proffessional, and caring person he is. His staff and office are friendly, and I never felt like I was looked down on in any way. If I had to say anything bad about them it would be that it can take a long time to get an initial appointment. Also that the Flochs pracice is at Norwalk Hospital, and while Norwalk Hospital nurses are good, they lack some of the things that make a large person comfortable like king size gowns and big chairs enough to go around.
The best thing about the Floch's pracice is the total package that they bring to the table. You are set up with a nutritionist and a weight loss therapist pre op so that when you are post op your support group is already in place. Remember people, this is stomach surgery not brain surgery, and without the proper aftercare you will not reach your goal.
I was pleased with both the competance of my care to date and with the bedside manner of Dr Neil Floch and would reccomend him.

Dr. Floch is a wonderful surgeon. He is technically excellent with lap RNy. His partner, Dr Ehrlich is also excellent..
