I liked him right away. He is very personable and professional. His personal secretary seemed very freindly as well.
He reviewed the surgery very thoroughly. I don't think he was trying to scare me just be very truthful and statistics were very comforting to have. Beside konowing how many the clic has done he knew how many he had done and the percentages of outcomes.
I have met the others in the group and they all seem very competent. I would rate them very high.
Dr. Tarnoff was great. I was 10 mintues late because of a snowstorm, but he saw me and didn't make me feel too rushed even though his next patient was waiting. He explained everything, answered all my mother's and my questions, and even said to bring the whole family for another meeting if they want. I thought that was really nice.
He laid everything out there, good and bad. No sugar-coating from him. Stressed pre- and post-care as does everyone at the OCC.
One other thing, during the meeting, my mother mentioned that she is a cancer survivor. When we were leaving, he shook her hand and asked how her health was now. Not too many of them do that!
He is a very talented, intelligent, competent surgeon. He has a great bedside manner. His coordinator, Lynne, and all of his staff as well as those at the Obesity Consult Center (OCC) in Boston were friendly and competent. The system is built for pre-peri-and after care of the patient. They set your first follow up check up date when they set your surgery date. You also have 24/7 access to a doctor if you need to call with questions/problems.
I only had one minor hiccup in my process, it was overlooked that I had a gallbladder so an ultrasound wasn't scheduled. I phoned about this and they couldn't fit me in, so I had to go have this done at an outside hospital. Not a big deal, but good that it was caught.
I would recommend Dr. Tarnoff with absolutely no reservations.
Pre-op - He was personable and very confident of the proceedure he felt I needed.
He explained well any of his thought about what needs to be done and how it needs to be done . I am very comfortable with his manner. I sharp guy!
I was more than pleased with Dr Tarnoff. I found him to have a great "bedside" manner. He answered all my questions and more. He was alos very helpful with my family, offering to make appt's with them if they had any concerns.
I would be happy to recommend him to any and all patients considering this porcedure.
He was honest and upfront, spelled out all therisks and benefits with no sugar coating.
Dr. Tarnoff seemed like a smart, young doctor who was confident he could help me lose weight safely through surgery.
The group at Tufts/NEMC is highly professional, and really get patients prepared mentally, physically and emotionally for the journey before during and after weight loss surgery.
Dr. Tarnoff is wonderful, a truly caring surgeon with an excellent bed side manner.
The staff at NEMC is wonderful. I love them all. They stress after care very much and have a great after care program. There is really an opendoor policy with them. You are welcome to call or come in any time with questions or if you need help.
