Venice Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Bariatric Center

I absolutely love the surgeon I picked. Dr. Joseph Chebli is very thourough and has a deep interest in his patients. HIs office staff are awesome. I had to cancel my surgery because my brother was involved in a motorcycle crash and they would call me every once in a while to check up on him and myself. This blew me out of the water, what wonderful people they are! If you have any friends or family who want a good-hearted surgeon who knows exactly what he is doing then I would recommend calling Dr. Chebli. He will answer every single question you have and he treats you with respect. I thank god every day that I picked Dr. Chebli!

Great Doctor he realy cares and has a great aftercare program I just Love him the way he has treated me and helped me. I dont think I could have found a better doctor to help me.

My first impression of Dr Chebli is that he was very personnable and dedicated to what he does. He made me feel that he had the knowledge and dedication to help me safely. My surgery was 4 months ago and My first impression of Dr. Chebli has not changed. He guided me throught the process for the surgery and brought me through it. His explanations to me were right on target with everything he said to me and what to expect.rnrnHis office staff was extremely helpful and prompt with any questions that I had in the process. They took care of me at all times.rnrnAt this time I cannot say anything differed from what Dr. Chebli told me throughout this process, so there is nothing I would complain about.rnrnFuture patients should know that he knows his stuff, he is man of his word, he is friendly and caring, he'a a guy that you would like as your best friend.rnrnI have had mutiple visits with him for aftercare and all have gone well. This is due to the fact everything he said before surgery prepared me for aftercare. He had me run through so many tests before the surgery, he had complete knowledge of me which definitely made me come through the surgery prepared and safe.rnrnHe does encourage participation in group sessions after surgery as well as nutritional services.rnrnIn regards to risk of surgery, I was so informed about myself through testing beforehand and his preparation beforehand that I felt risk was minimal in his care. I definitely had days that I wanted to back out, but now 4 months later those felling were rediculous.rnrnI would rate Dr. Chebli as an excellent surgeon.I coach and have had to have my children and my players see surgeons many times and he would be at the top of my list for competent reassuring doctors.rnrnI think Dr Chebli is the complete package that you want in a doctor. AT this time I feel that he may have saved my life. I am diabetic which is the main reason for doing the surgery. I haven't needed any meds for months and my blood sugars average 98 which is normal. All my other meds that I was taking are no longer needed. My weight has dropped from 361 to 275 today and I am continuing to go down. I am a healthier, happier person.

I really like Dr Chebli, he was very honest, up front and provide a lot of information. The office staff has been so helpful with working with my insurance company and providing help when needed. I feel I am in very good hands with Dr Chebli.

Dr Joseph Chebli is very straigtforward, informative, honest, supportive. rnrnHe is one of the most attentive, involved, superior doctors of any kind that I have seen. He truly deeply cares about each patient and their success.rnrnI would highly recommend him to anyone!!

My first impresstion of Dr. Chebli was that he's a no nonsense kinda guy. Very straight forward, no BS but he's got a great sense of humor once you get to know him. The more I see him and his staff, the happier I am I chose them! The office girls are so nice, helpful, supportive and always there if you have a question, they are WONDERFUL! And I make sure to tell them that everytime (and Dr. C too)! rnFuture patients should attend a seminar with him, I'd been to several and he talked in terms everyone could understand, not just Dr. speak. It was great and he was available afterwards to answer any questions. They also had someone there available to make your first appointment, which was impressive! None of the other seminars I'd been to offered that. rnDr. Chebli seems more relaxed on aftercare, \"as long as your feeling good and losing the weight, you're doing great\". rnIf you're looking for an honest, down-to-earth doctor...he's it. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to have this surgery. He met me in the Prep Room before surgery and I was out the same day, just a few hours later. rnI've had such a great experience with him and his staff, I just can't say enough good things about them!

I LOVE Dr. Chebli! I loved his straight forward talk, explaination of all the benefits and risks. He can be a bit brusk, but he really wants all people to understand that there are risks to this surgery and that it is not a magic bullet.rnThe office staff is awesome very personable, they know you and always address you by your forst name. Dr. Chebli emphasises the rigourous after care needed to ensure success. I give the staff and Dr. Chebli an overall 5 star rating!

At first Dr. Chebli seemed a little gruff, in typical surgeon fashion, but as I got to know him better he softened. Dr. Chebli has been very enthusiastic, he seems to really care about me on a personal level, I had a great experience with him and am continuing to have good experiences in my post op care.

I liked Dr Chebli right away. I had been scheduled with a hospital closer to my home but they closed the bariatric department before my surgery date. rnDr Chebli and his staff were willing to take all the prep work I had already finished (food diaries, psych eval, exercise notes, etc.) so I was able to keep to my original schedule! rnI changed from liking the doctor to admiring him because he treats me like an intelligent adult. He does waste my time by repeating information that he has asked me to read. Yet, he answers all my questions without talking \"down\" to me. I really appreciate that. I realize some people might think he is too demanding but this is a serious, life changing surgery and patients need to be aware of all they need to do.rnFinally I grew to have great respect for him and his staff because of the great care they gave me during and after surgery. They do not take anything for granted. They are very careful and have a detailed protocol for patients to follow in order to insure great results.rnI rate Dr Chebli and his staff as an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10.rn

Lovely man he is a real joy to go and see. Very knowlagable in all things WLS. He was right to talk me into a Gastric bypass. His staff is so friendly and full of energy and fun. I love seeing them each and every time. Thank you Dr Chebli I really recommend him to the fulliest.
