I have been in the medical field for the last 25 years. For the last 10 years I have researched the gastric bypass and have seen different surgeons for this procedure, not really feeling comfortble with these different surgeons. I had put off having the surgery. I talked to my primary care doctor, who had referred me to the most wonderful doctor Marc Zare. During my first appointment, i watched a video and then had a consultation with Dr. Zare who explained everything in detail for me and took the time to answer all my questions (which there was a lot of), and I never felt rushed like he had was in hurry to finish the appointment as some doctors make you feel. Well I had my surgery on 09/14/2010. Two days before my surgery which was a Sunday, Dr.Zare had called me at home to make sure I was ok. Boy, I couldn't believe that a doctor would take time out of his weekend to make sure everything was ok!!!!!! After the surgery, he had went to talk to my family and explained everything to them (which my family was totally impressed) and answered any questions that they may have had. During my 2 day hospital stay, Dr. Zare came in a couple times a day just to make sure everything was ok with me and did I have any questions. I had such a wonderful eperience with Dr. Zare that I highly recommend him to anyone that is thinking of having this life changing surgery. I can now say that Dr. Marc Zare is truly my angel and has changed my life in the most wonderful way. His office staff name Ben is also awesome, you can call him with any question that you may have and he never makes you feel like he's to busy to help you. He made sure that all my disabilities forms were filled out properly and got my claims processed extra fast.. I cannot express in words all the gratitude that I have for Dr. Zare for how he has changed my life. He will forever be my angel in my heart for saving my life.

Dr. Zare makes a great first impression - very patient and knowledgeable. I knew I'd be in good hands. Office staff was also very kind and professional.

Risks of surgery were thoroughly covered. Pre-op steps (nutritionist, psych eval, etc.) were very thorough but manageable.

In hospital, excellent bedside manner. I felt very at ease and well taken care of.

Very thorough after-care, sometimes calling just to see how I'm doing and to ask if I have any questions or have experienced any issues I'd like to talk about. Overall I'd definitely rate Dr. Zare a 10 out of 10 and can't recommend him highly enough.

When I first met with Dr. Zare... I felt at ease and in good hands. He explained with details the proecess before and after. Ben, His assistant is great and very helpfull. I am pleased and reccommend Dr. Zare to anyone.


Im afraid i have nothing negative to say about Dr. Zare at this point. I've had no complications with my surgery thusfar.

Doctor Zare was wonderful, he is very informative and certainly has a wonderful track record. After meeting him I knew he was the one to perform my surgery. He just has a way of making you feel comfortable and I have all the confidence in the world with him and his staff. I would surely recomend him to friends and anyone else just checking for a doctor. He has a wonderful smile and great bedside manners. It's been about year since I had my surgery and I feel great, I know If I ever need him or his office they will alawys be there for me. They are part of my family for ever.

Well, my first impression was completely wrong. I was afraid I was getting forgotten but I misunderstood..they were actually being very professional and giving me time to decide on a life changing procedure. When Ben and I talked he made it clear that this is a decision "I" have to make and one that I should not be pressured into. "I" will have to make the life change not him. Wow! Thank you SOOOOOOOO much, Ben, you were right. When you said that I looked at all this completely different. The change is not for anyone but me, and if I am not committed to it 100% "I" am not ready.

Well, I am ready now and I hope to have surgery by the end of September 2010.

Thank you, Ben and Dr. Zare, for providing not just a professional office but one that seems to really understand what the patient needs from the beginning. Since my "Let's Do It" decision Ben has been very supportive and helpful in everything I have needed.

My first assumption of the office was soooo wrong. I am glad I got a chance for second impression. Dana Merritt

Dr. Zare was very personable and willing to listen to all my questions and concerns. He also was willing to answer my daughter's questions. I like his presentation and look forward to working with him in my weight loss journey.

I had my surgery 4 weeks ago (5/11/10) and am so glad I found Dr. Zare and Ben, the ever efficient and friendly guide to all things. With their help with insurance, psychologist, nutritionist, etc.,)I was in surgery one month after our initial consult. Even if I had not done my homework, the initial office visit was so informative, I knew I was in the right place. Dr. Zare offers the complete package: the surgery, the information and support, and excellent follow up care. I could not be happier with the choice I made.

This was my first surgery ever. It has been three weeks since my surgery (without any complications). I have to say that Dr. Zare is a wonderful surgeon. He is very thorough and I felt safe in his hands. When heading into the operation room Dr. Zare made me feel very comfortable. I know that it is weird to say, but the reassurance I received was so beneficial. I also appreciate Dr. Zare extra thoroughness after surgery.

Everything that I have been going through, I expected, because Dr. Zare made sure I was well informed of the procedure and post surgery. Dr. Zare has a very positive demeanor and I am very glad that a friend of mine recommended him. I am very thankful to Dr. Zare for providing a tool that will assist me on my healthy lifestyle.

Dr. Zare's assistant, Ben, is good as well. He will assist with your insurance and will help with any other questions you might have.

I really need to thank both of them.

My Doctor, Marc Zare. Sometimes in life we are fotunate enough to meet, know or come in contact with a person that has changed or enhanced your life in some remarkable way.
This man to me is Marc Zare.
Not only is he a remarkable surgeon, but his general kindness, caring and compassion for the people around him and his patients is truely the making of a amazing man.
From the moment I met him in the office, his demeanor was humble, his eyes reflected caring and his vast knowledge and experience exuded with each word that he spoke.
I felt confident and reassured with each word that ebbed from his mouth.
This WAS THE SURGEON for me! As I had interviewd several surgeons, not unlike a job interview, prior to my meeting with Dr. Zare.
In the recovery room (me still being quite groggy) I even asked him. "Am I a size 5 yet?" He gently smiled and said, "Almost" I absolutely love this man! This surgeon!
He has encourage me every step of the way, and never once emitted a pompous attitude on his fabulous surgical abilities. Infact, I teased him often about using airplane cable inside to hold things together. He rolled eloquently with the mere gesting.
My surgery went remarkabley well, the incisions are minimal and the after affects for now and long term are to say the least have done nothing but improve my physical and mental well being.
Thank You So Much Dr. Zare, you are an amazing surgeon and a wonderful, wonderful man.
