Synergy Bariatrics Bariatric Center
Dr. Caruana is WONDERFUL!!! When I was in the waiting room, I was just observing all the staff, and the way I saw him interacting with everyone was very impressive. When you get taken back into the exam room, you meet Lisa to do your vitals and then history, and then Dr. C. comes in. I cannot express just how friendly and kind and wonderful he is!! EVERYONE I met with was just as nice and wonderful! Then I met with the girl who deals with the insurance. She explained how the insurance approval goes, and that she will be contacting me on a Friday, probably in a few weeks, or as soon as the insurance approval comes in...I just cannot express enough just how great my first impression was!!! I definitely recommend Synergy Bariatrics!!!!
Dr. Caruana is the best! I was very comfortable with his manner and his staff are toprate too! It was great seeing Dr. C at the hospital before and after my surgery and even before my discharge today. I will not hesitate in providing the name of my surgeon to anyone that is interested in having gastric bypass surgery. They provide you with alot of information that you need to make the best decision.
dr. caruana is sooooo fine!!!!!!! he exudes professionalism, dedication, support, enthusiasm, thoroughness,expertise, empathy, kindness, compassion, and humor....wow!!! AND........mark mccabe, his surgical assistant and excercise guru is exceptional in every area, also!!!!..........thanks forever and ever you two......xxxxxooooo..........right on !!
I loved him and Marc. My first impression was very good.They are thorough and caring and very supportive. rnI had a small problem with a certain office person but that could also be my way of taking them.rnTheir whole practice is very structured and efficient.It is information and support based in every phase of the process.From pre op to post op.The help and support does not end upon your release from the hospital. rnI have had many drs in my lifetime and wish all were like them.
My first impression of Dr. Caruana and his facility was fantastic. I had my initial consultation with him today and was very encouraged. MY IMPRESSION OF DR CARUANA HAS NOT CHANGED. HE IS A VERY CARING INDIVIDUAL WHO APPEARS TO TAKE EACH CASE TO HEART. HIS OFFICE IS EXTREMELY EFFICIENT AND AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. HIS AFTERCARE PROGRAM APPEARS TO BE GREAT.
I thought that Dr.Caruana was great from the moment I met him.rnHis staff was also just as nice as he was.rnAt first I didn't think I would like him because I guess I didn't even want to give him a chance. I had a Dr. in Pennsylvainia and I thought there could be none bettter. My insurance company said they would not work with that Dr. and if I wanted them to work with me that I had to go with one of there Dr's. So I asked them who I could see. They said this is youre choice and named like 4 doctors, I chose Dr. Caruana for some reason and I am so happy I did. Awesome bed side manor.rnHe emphasized aftercare alot. He made sure I knew this was serious to start taking care of myself with vitamins and stuff now but later also. Exercise, rest, etc.rn
When I met with Dr. Caruana I was so nervous but he was very friendly and smiling. He seemed rush but continued to be pleasant. He actually weighed me which I was so embarassed but he didn't even blink at my weight and all he said was that I was a good condidate. I did express my concern about thrombosis and he was very honest and said so was he with all his patients. He did put my mind to ease by stating that I was a lower risk candidate for thrombosis, which made me feel a little bit better. He did state that aftercare was very important and that I did have to go to a meeting about nutrition and exercise which would take over 2 hours. I am actually looking forward to it. He also gave me some papers to read. I feel very confident in him and at more at ease about the surgery. I do think his staff could be a little more friendlier. They are not the friendlieast bunch of people but they are competent. The only negative thing I can say about Dr. Caruana is that I wish you could spend more time talking to him. I would give him so far a 9 out of 10.
