Dr. Herron and his staff are by far the best!!!!!
This surgeon was very honest about the pros and cons. He didn't sugar coat the work that is involved, the new way of looking at food, of eating food, of chewing food, of digesting food. NO QUESTION was a dumb question. His nutritionist was great and very helpful. Do your research and you will find Dr. Herron has much recognition of his skills and his pleasant bedside manner is matchless. He really cared about me, my health and even the feelings of my loved ones.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Inabnet. If I could give him more stars, I would! He and his staff are very personable, professional, and informative. I cannot say enough great things about him.
I had my frist appointment with Doctor Koshy on July 26, 2012. So far so good. He sat down and explained the process of the surgery to me, he asked me if I had any questions for him, which at the time I didn't. The office staff is also very helpful they let you know exactally what you need to help speed up the surgery process, they even help with insurance problems.
I first meet Dr Herron back in 09 when i finally made up my mind to have WLS,However because of fear i back out.I went back to him in august of 2011 and told him that i was finally ready.When he saw me again the first thing out of his mouth was nice to see you again.He asked me what happen and i told him i was not ready and he said he understood.From the first meeting with him i fell in love,When he first walks into the room he has the biggest smile on his face making you feel warm and welcome.He took his time with me and i didn't feel rushed,We talked about the surgery that i wanted and he drew me a a diagram and explain the risk and complication and what he expected.Although Dr Herron doesn't take my INS anymore i was very worried about that,He told me don't worry about it we will take care of it.Dr Herron made me feel cared about and i didn't just feel like another $$$ to him.He generally cares about his patients and wants to see them succeed.I was in hospital from 3-13-12/3-15-12 and he came to see me both days and we talked and joked,He is a totally awesome surgeon.The one draw back is that his office is extremely busy especially on Monday's so expect a little bit of a wait.
His office staff was amazing as well,Especially Nadia his Medical assistant,She pretty much took care of everything paper wise and if i needed anything all i had to do was call her and she took care of it.She did everything with a smile and that makes such of a world of a difference.Even when i called her sometimes with the most annoying things she always laugh and told me don't worry about it.
Over all i would rate Dr Herron 5 stars no questions asked,He knowledge about the WLS made me feel at ease and the fact that he had wonderful bedside manner was just the icing on the cake.If you live in the NYC tri-state area and thinking about WLS i would say check Dr Herron out.
I liked Dr. Inabnet the very first time I met him. By that time I had already spoken to and rejected three other surgeons, so that means something coming from me. I am very picky about where, when, and why I place my trust in a doctor, something that I think most obese patients can understand.
I had already decided I wanted DS surgery, and Dr. Inabnet confirmed that he thought I was a good candidate. He was very patient with me and my questions, giving me straightforward honest answers without being brusque or abrasive about it.
After my initial visit I had a ton of legwork to do in preparation for surgery, and his office staff was extraordinarily helpful. I called frequently to check on paperwork or to ask questions, and I was never left feeling lost or uncertain about what to do next. They even made the effort to follow up with ME when there was still some paperwork missing.
I would never, ever have let a surgeon operate on me if I didn't have complete faith in his surgical competence, but it is still hands-down Dr. Inabnet's bedside manner that makes him awesome in my book. Two days before my surgery I developed diarrhea, and he personally called me at home to ask some questions and make sure everything was OK. He stopped by to talk with me in the prep room before surgery, spent time chatting with (not just briefly updating) my parents and fiancee afterward, checked on me in the hospital, and even called me from home when I was still in the hospital on his day off. It made me feel very safe during my hospital stay to know that even though the care staff kept changing, there was still one doctor ultimately looking out for me.
I would recommend Dr. Inabnet to anyone seeking weight-loss surgery, for his world-class surgical skills, incredible bedside manner, and outstanding office staff.
Dr. Kini is very nice the whole team is very caring and understanding. They do not look down on you because of your size. They care about the overall client. Rashida is Great she has everything that you need, and guides you through the process. I would recomend Dr. Kini and his staff for anyone.
