New York Bariatric Group Bariatric Center

Dr. Holover and his staff are wonderful, along with everyone at Mercy Hospital, where the surgery was performed. He and his physician's assistant covered all the risks, etc. He's got a great bedside manner and is 100% competent. I would recommend Dr. Holover without any hesitation whatsoever.

Dr. Garber and his office professionals are very polite and they all take the time needed to discuss any concerns with you without feeling like you are taking to much of their time. The office manager Stephanie really helped me with pre-certification and following up with my insurance company.rn

In short...the team at Vadim Gritsus' office saved my life. rnrnI was very reticent about exploring weigh-loss surgery. However, when I got to the point that I was fearful for my life, I decided to attend one of Dr. Gritsus' seminars. I entered the room with a negative attitude, knowing that this was going to be just another hard-sell for something I was afraid to consider.rnrnBOY WAS I WRONG! From the moment the doctor started to speak, he made me feel comfortable with a calm, logical approach to weight loss that I had never considered. Not accusatory, not hard-sell, just an incredible understanding of the procedure and what to expect after. His complete knowledge and experience were impressive, even as he answered some very hard questions that were thrown out from the audience.rnrnWhen I came to the office for my first appointment, I was greated with the same knowledge and experience, coupled with a respect I have never experienced in my prior weight-loss efforts. Everyone in his office was pleasant, helpful and made me feel that I was part of the family. They took the necessary time to explain the procedure thoroughly and they took care of all of the insurance paperwork for me. Amazing!rnrnI am now 9 months post-op, have lost a total of 105 lbs. and am healthier than I have been in a very long time, thanks to Dr. Gritsus and his team of caring professionals!rnrn

Dr. Cussatti is the best surgeon I could have picked. He has operated on my whole family - my husband for RNY, me for LapBand, Gall Bladder, Lapband removal and finally RNY this past September and our daughter for RNY this past 12/1. He is a wonderful, caring doctor and he could not be more skilled! He was the right choice for my whole family!

Dr. gritsus, his assistant Dean, and every one on his staff are wonderful to me everytime I see them. I had my surgery on Jan. 5, and things couldn't be any better. Dr. Gritsus has agreat bedside manner and great after care. I believe they really want you to succeed in a healthy way.

When I first met Dr. Holover, I was surprised to see how young and good looking he was. Dr. Holover, was very down to earth and easily related to me. From the moment I walked into the office to this day, I was treated with respect and care. Dr. Holover really listened to me and even though I felt I was very informed on the entire process of surgery he went over everything with me. Dr. Holover, even helped me by squeezing me in on a day when he was booked to fit into my schedule. I have never had anyone in the medical field work with me as much as his office has. The only negative thing I can say about my experience is while I was visiting the support group for patients who already had surgery, there was no time period dedicated to answering questions from the visitors. Other then that I haven't had one problem!

Dr. Holover seemed very aloof during my first consultation. I guess I can understand this though, I'm sure he sees a lot of people only once.

I am well on my way to surgery. I have finished all of my pre-op clearances and have a tentative surgery date. I can't wait.

I first received Dr. Garber's name from my pediatrician and took his recommendation very highly. After a series of introductory and evaluatory appointments, Dr. Garber performed my gastric bypass surgery 4 months ago. It was the best experience I could have possibly dreamed of. His office was courteous, professional, and compassionate. From my first appointment, all the way to date, Dr. Garber and his staff have been particularly patient and answered all of my questions. He typically responds to emails within the hour and is incredibly accessible. rnrnDr. Garber's practice (The NY Bariatric Group) emphasizes a total care package. The surgery is only the beginning and is supplemented by a highly structured nutrition and exercise plan. When I was first considering surgery, I was wary of all the people that told me it would \"change my life\". Yet my new routine and follow up plan has really allowed me to make drastic changes in a short amount of time.rnrnDr. Garber regularly holds information sessions and support group meetings for new and post-op patients. If you are considering the surgery, I would urge to you attend one of these sessions and review his website to get the most information possible.rnrnOverall, I would give Dr. Garber an incredibly high rating as a surgeon. His calm and patient bedside manner is only matched by his immense qualifications and surgical competence!rnrnrnrn
