Joao Marchesini, M.D. Bariatrics Bariatric Center
Dr. Marchesini is a kind, thoughtful, and caring doctor. He took such good care of me I felt like a member of his family. I wish he had a more comprehensive after-care program, however, as a foreign surgeon (practicing in Brazil) I don't know how it would be practical to set one up. He is available by phone or e-mail to answer questions at any time before or after surgery.
The best! Nicest, sweetest, most caring!
Just got better!
Did not speak english, but wasn't a problem.
Explained everything well, his english is fine, I think he did a very competent surgery.
Nothing, I liked everything.

His bedside can't be beat, but I thought he was a great surgeon too.

**********
07/02/03 - Dr. Marchesini ranks up there with the most incredible people I have ever had the joy of meeting. He exudes a warmth and caring that is hard to describe. He is honest and upfront with no games. I felt completely comfortable in his hands and knew that he would do his best to give me a complication free surgery. I cannot say enough about this man. An exceptional human being.
I had not met Dr. Marchesini until I arrived in Brazil. I did email with him on several occassions and saw his picture online before arriving in Brazil. He is a very caring and dedicated doctor. He is very soft spoken and makes you feel comfortable with having him as your surgeon. He develops a friendly attitude with you and treats you as a friend throughout you entire process. His office is very well kept and his staff is very professional. Aftercare is done through your local PCP and Dr. Marchesini via email and phone calls. Dr. Marchesini makes himself available to you through phone and email at any time. He is very knoweledgeable about all WLS and generally cares about you as a patient and a friend. He will go out of his way to make sure your stay in Brazil is a positive one.
Doctor Marchesini is not only a very fine surgeon, but a true gentleman as well. I was quite impressed with the level of service he provides for his patients.
He goes out of his way to make sure his patients are comfortable but fully understand all the procedures.
He checks on his patients after they are released from the hospital in their hotel room. He is always a phone call or email away. He will work with your primary PCP in the states.
He enjoys what he does and takes great pride in his patients and his surgery.
I would highly reccommend him to anyone who must self pay.
He is the most caring doctor I have ever met. When I first arrived in Curitiba, he was waiting at the hotel for me with a big hug and a kiss. "Welcome Honey!" he said with his cute Brasilian accent.
Excelent Command of English
I have only grown closer towards him as my stay here has progressed. This man never sleeps! He has gone above and beyond the call of his duties. And amazing person!
He babied me because I was the youngest of his DS American patients, which I loved!! I went alone, so it was soooo comforting.
He addresses all the risks of surgery and is very realistic with you. He also highly stresses aftercare, including wearng the binder for 3 months, not doing any heavy lifing for 6 months, mild excercise for the first 6 months, and proper diet.
Overall, A+++++
He gives you his Cell #, and it is always on. He always answers your e-mails and requests, very accommedating.
I only wish that he were located in the US, so I could see him more in the future!
But really, no negative comments.
