Dr. Caruana was my savior. He and his staff made me feel so comfortable and I knew that I had made the right decision. One of the reasons I chose him was because he had an aftercare program. It is one thing to have the surgery, but you also need to know what and how to eat afterwards. I find that just as important as the surgery itself. Dr. Caruana is #1. He even did cooking classes with us at our support group meetings.
My first impression of Dr. C was that he was very calm, funny, and professional! He was so easy going and made the whole \"nervous\" vibe of the surgery go away! I loved him! The whole staff was great actually, including the nursing assistants, and Lisa, of course! Dr. C was very informative, and did not sugar coat the possible complications from surgery, but was very honest about the precautions he takes to insure your safety. I have never felt that at ease with meeting a new doctor, and would give his bedside manner and competence two thumbs up!
Dr. Caruana was amazing. He made me feel calm about making such a huge life-changing decision.rnHe was the same everytime. My first impression seemd to be the right one, he's respectful and understanding. His office staff is well-knowledged. Answers all of your questions accurately and never make you feel like you're asking a \"dumb\" question. The only critique I could really say about Dr. Caruana is that, I would've liked to see him more, with it being such a major surgery, I would've liked to be more knowledgable and confident in his skills. rnrnDr. Caruana was an amazing surgeon. Anyone would be lucky to have him in charge of their procedure.
Dr Caruana is truly committed to providing the best health care for his patients. His past experience as a general surgeon has him given many accolades from a varied population, not just bariatrics. People talk very highly of him. He struck me as holistic doctor, which is very unusual. he has a wonderful bedside manner. His team is always professional. It has been a very positive journey.
I was nervous when I was getting ready to meet Dr Caruana, but he quickly put me at ease with his demeanor. He is one of the nicest men I have ever met. The office staff was awesome too, as was the nurses. Lisa invited me to join the support groups that she runs. I would give Synergy a 5 thumbs up if I had to rate them.
