My surgeon is Dr. Demaria and I first met him on the day of my surgery. While waiting in the pre-op area Dr. DeMaria came by and introduce himself to me and my family. I immediately like him and presented a aura of confidence and security. My mother commented that post-op when he cam out to talk with therm he took as much time as needed to explained what went on and how I was doing in recovery.rnrnThe office staff are phenomenal and don't believe in wasting your time. There are clear instructions to following every stage of the recovery process and your are provided with telephone numbers to call if you are stumped with concerns.
Dr. DeMaria is committed to the Duke WL Center program. It shows through with is commitment to patients and their needs. I was treated like an individual.. not just another patient throughout the entire process.rnrnDr. DeMaria truly made me feel like I was in the best hands possible through my process.rnrnThe entire Duke Medical staff were kind and very caring!
I had my pre-op appointment on Friday, December 1st. Dr.Demaria had a good bedside manner about him. He took the time and answered all my questions. He explained everything to me in detail, which made me feel better.
I thought he was a great man, his staff was very nice. His fellows were also very involed in my surgery. He gave you all the information you need to make this work but let you know that if you have to keep up on your end or the out come will not be that great. He was an excellent doctor and if I had to do it agian I would pick him agian.
Dr.DeMaria and his staff were wonderful. I do not have anything negative to say about him. He has given me my life back. He did not sugar coat anything and told me it would be a life style change and not a quick fix. I can not thank him enough for what he has done for me.
My first impression of Dr. DeMaria was that he was a man of great knowledge about this surgery. My mother had him and I met him for the first time at her first consultation. He sits with you and allows you to ask any qestions you may have about the surgery and the after care. I wouln't trade him or his staff for the world. Every time I call his office I get the help I need.
My first impression was a bit skeptical because he seemed kind of stand offish. But once I got to know him, he was great.
His office is very neat and clean. Dr. DeMaria is the best surgeon for gastric bypass surgery you can find. He is 100% with you and aftercare is a must and freguent and you are given phone numbers to call in case of problems or just queations. Staff is very friendly and informative. A book is given to you before surgery that tells you exactly whats going to take place before and after surgery. What you'll be eating the whole time from the beginning until the year is up and then from then on. His bedside manner is great. You get what you pay for. He is great and MCV is great.
I think when you meet someone with the rep of Dr. DeMaria your first thought is that of pure awe...I mean, this man has helped so many people. He was very calm and confident when he met my wife & I, and I was very impressed with his whole staff. Post op I am still in awe of this man and on my 3 month check-up (down 104 pounds) I thanked him for what he had done for me. He was very non-chjallant in his "you're welcome"...and that's one of his great traits. At the recent Walk From Obesity he was there with his children and I in jeans and I when you see your surgeon in that context you realize how human he is - I am blessed to have had him for my surgeon and would reccommend him and his team to anyone.
Dr. Eric DeMaria is the best surgeon I could of gone to. He has done hundreds of gastric bypass's and there is so few complications reported. My surgery was a breeze. I had a rny and I had no problems at all. I recovered fast and kept up my scheduled Dr visits and am losing weight on schedule. Having this surgery laproscopicly is the only way to have it. His staff is great and very willing to answer questions at any time. His aftercare is very well structured. I would rate him as the best surgeon to go to. His competence and bedside manner are wonderful.
