David Diaz Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

I haven't meet him yet but i've heard amazing things about h im. very excited to meet him.

When I first met Dr. David Diaz, I felt comfortable, and at ease, something inside me told me he was going to be my surgeon. When I met with him the second time, there was no doubt on my mind I was going to be in great hands. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Diaz and his staff. They have all been so wonderful and caring. At the hospital he was on top of everything, came to see me everyday as well as his nurse. Basically, I highly recommend my surgeon to anyone that is thinking of having Gastric Surgery.

My first impression of Dr. Diaz was how pleasant he was and what a great bedside manner he had immediately. My impression of him never changed over time. He was always considerate and compassionate doctor. My overall experience with Dr. Diaz was excellent. The office staff was kind and helpful even when I felt like I was being a pest. The only thing I could say on the side is that I felt that my doctor's office should have had some post op counseling for behavioral changes after surgery.

Dr Diaz was very pleasant, kind and proffesional. He was understanding, and I felt no blame or shame from him. The office staff and Nurses a U.S. Bariatric are all very nice. A very large pecentage of them have had the gastric bypass surgey themselves and so are very understanding, of the things patients are going through.
They are very into educating the paitent, and making sure you have support.
I am really pleased with them.
There is tons of pre op education and a great post-op education program. They continually emphazed that I would need to attend the support meetings and made me sign a contract to keep all appts after the operation.

Dr. Marema is not only a surgeon of WLS he is also a patient! So he really understands how we REALLY feel! I think he has the most well rounded program. I think surgery is only the first step and I want the HELP AND SUPPORT after the bills are paid as well. And that is the impression I have gotten from Dr. Marema and his staff the support groups that I have attended have been wonderful and very educating both at Celebration in Orlando and in Ft. Lauderdale. Where I will be traveling to for surgery. 3hrs from home but worth the drive! I would recomend Dr. Marema and Staff to EVERYONE! I have changed to Dr. Diaz he is one of Dr. Marema Partners and he is moving closer to me to Celebration Hospital in Orlando only 40 min. from home.
Since Dr. Diaz isn't on board at Celebration yet I will have to travel to Ft. Lauderdale and then stay in the area for a little over a week to make sure that all has gone well with surgery and that there are no problems. So we will leave the hospital and move to this GREAT RESORT across from the BEACH. AND IT's affordable it is called SHOREHAVEN RESORT 1-800-552-1959. and it is only like 1 1/2 miles from the hospital and it is a great paradise to walk around and start recovering at. YEAH!!
EVERYTHING IS GREAT WITH THIS WHOLE PROGRAM AND I FEEL SORRY FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE SURGERY WITH THIS GROUP AFTER ALL OUR LIFE IS ON THE LINE AND WE DESERVE THE VERY BEST AND THIS IS THE VERY BEST!!!
ON MAY 30TH 2003 Dr. Diaz did my surgery and he will forever be my hero, he saved my life with this surgery and everything went real smooth. He has a great personality and a wonderful person and you can understand EVERYTHING that he tells you!!!

My first impression of him was "WOW he seems so down to Earth!" <p>

My impression of him only got better.<p>

The office staff is the bombdiggity!<p>

Not a thing, he is so likable as well as lovable.<p>

That he is so kind and sweet and ready to listen to anything you have to say and will answer any and all questions that you may have.<p>

He emphasizes aftercare a LOT! After all aftercare is just as important if not moreso than the surgery itself.<p>

Yes He does have a very well structured aftercare program.<p>

He addressed the risks of the surgery very well and made everything very clear to me.<P>

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm how would I rate him? On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best, I would rate him as a 100.<P>

Without a doubt---------BOTH!<P>

His sense of humor is great too.

I met with Dr. Diaz on 3/3/03 for a consult. A VERY nice man. My husband and I thought he was very informative and easy to talk with. Even though this was my first meeting with him I would highly reccomend U.S. Bariatric at Florida Hospital, Celebration.
