George Ferzli Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

I liked Dr. Ferzli very much. I would have liked to speak with him longer at my first visit with him but I had the opportunity to do so when I signed consent. There is a lot of aftercare and I found the support groups to be helpful.

I'm a Brooklyn patient but I met Dr. Ferzli on Staten Island. Thanks to Dr. Saperstein, Dr. Ferzli, Emily, and the office staff, I've felt very comfortable with the information so far. They have helped me so far.

Dr. Ferzli is very caring and honest. At my first visit, he told me exactly what to expect. After attending the support group meetings and my appointments, I trusted all the staff from the nurses to the nutritionists. I'm confident that they will help me after surgery.

I loved Dr. Ferzli when I first met him. He is professional and comorting to his patients. As patients, we are expected to follow the instructions of the program but there is also lots of aftercare to help with that.

Dr. Ferzli is very nice. He explains everything well. There's a lot that every patient is educated on. The staff is also very helpful as are support groups.

Dr. Ferzli seems very nice. I have heard great things about him. The support groups have been very helpful and I plan to continue to go. Karen Sander is the best! I cannot say enough great things about her. She is always there to help answer questions and guide her patients. Patty has also been extremely helpful. I'm so happy I'm with this program.

Dr. Ferzli was very friendly, informative and positive. I found him to be very approachable. The entire process was lengthy but very much worth it. I have been educated on aftercare. The support groups were extremely helpful. The leaders, Emily and Dr. Saperstein were great. It was nice to meet and listen to other patients who have gone through surgery or who are like myself, preparing for it.

This is a life saving program. Dr. Ferzli and his staff are very helpful with everything. All my questions have been answered.

I had the VSG done last year in Jan. with Dr Ferzli. My first impression he was very to the point, but not rude. He is a quite man with a nice demeanor. The surgery went very well no complications. When doing the pre-op Dr appointments for the gastro Dr and the cardio Dr, etc., each one of them I chose through my own insurance.. each one of them mentioned how exceptional Dr Ferzli was! Which made me feel great knowing other Dr's felt I was in good hands (and not Dr's that he had referred me to!) The office staff is OK. The receptionist is rude and has her own personal conversations while you wait for 10-15 minutes to be acknowledged. After the surgery there were 3 different times that I came in and she couldn't figure out if I had an appointment. I has to dig through my bag to find an appointment card. Other than that, the nutritionist is very good! She remembers me and she makes herself very available for me. The surgery went very well and all together I lost over 100lbs and I am very happy with the success!

My first of impression of Dr. Ferzli was a good one. I thought he was very nice. He seemed to understand what I was feeling about the process and what my needs were. I've met with him once so far and I know I will be meeting with him again before my surgery. The support groups have helped a lot. I've really liked them so far.
