Viratio Fiallo Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

My first impression of Dr. Fiallo was that he was very professional,and so was his staff,and over time my impression has not changed.I think that maybe he was a little too serious,but it's not something that would make me turn away and find another doctor.When you go to your consult, make sure you have done extensive research on the procedure you want done.The day of my consult, he addressed all of the risks of the surgery,and on my second visit he gave me a quiz on my knowledge of the surgery.I will give hime and overall rating, andcomment on wether is his surgical competence is better than his bedside manner or vice versa, once I go through the surgery. Although I picked him because I have heard nothing but great things about him.

he is a wonderful doctor, he walks you through everything completly and answers all your questions But for me his office staff was almost rude, there too busy and are forgetful in doing paperwork it took them 8 weeks to send in my paperwork to the insurance company and to top it off they did it wrong if I had not called the insurance company my self nothing would have got done

My first impression of Dr. Fiallo: Hes cute and has a very nice accent.rnMy impression hasn't changed at all. It has just grown to include admiration. rnCheryl and the staff are wonderful, nice and always there with a smile.rnI can't say there is anything i don't like about him. rnDr. Fiallo is very good. There isn't a scale high enough to rate him.rn

I was very impress with this Dr.and to know he had done so many lapband procedures was what really impress me he was very professional and answered all the questions I had to ask in a way so I understood..his office staff were really great and polite all the time ..getting the approval was done like in 3 weeks and I couldn't get the original surgery date they went out of their way to accomandate me so I did get the date I wanted May 12, 2006.rnrnI feel this is going to be a journey for me in a very postive way and healthy..rnrnMy surgeron has my rate of 95%rnAftercare program is good.

I saw Dr Fiallo speak at a weight loss seminar and he was very informative and too the point. My first visit with him was good, he was curteous to myself and my husband. He took the time to listen if we had any concerns or questions. I never felt rushed and took my time speaking to him, I was comfortable.rnHe explained the procedure and what he thought would be benificial most to me and my needs. He addressed risks as well as benefits.rnAt this time I have no concerns in my choice for Dr Fiallo being my surgeon.rn

I am very happy with how it all went. I was glad to hear Dr. Fiallo does the surgery with another surgeon in the room, it's part of the reason I chose him. His office staff was a bit aggrevating to deal with, but once we finally got everything organized it all came to gether well. The hospital was really good, I felt very well taken care of. All in all I was happy.

very kind man and very concerned for the welfare of his patients. i had a big bump 7 weeks post op made speacial call to father in nj for me god bless probably came just in enough time

I first Met Dr. Fiallo at a support meeting and thought he was great and answered all my questions. My impression of him has not changed over my time time of knowing him. I think his staff is wonderful as long as you do not get denied and then when you get denied it is like they want nothing to do with you. That is how I was treated bye Cheryl. Once I was denied it was like she wanted nothing to do with me and if it was not for me being on the phone with my insurance company for 4 hours I probably would not have had the surgery. Made risks an issues all the time did not want you not to know what the risks were. I would rate him an 8 out of 10 and reason being. I saw him when he came into mark my belly and then I went into surgery never saw him and when I came out of surgery never saw him. Never saw him once after he marked my belly way before surgery. and now I won't see him again until Sept. 6 weeks after surgery.

I have met with Dr. Fiallo twice- once in 2004 when I was looking into surgery and once this year when I made my decision to have LGP. He seems very nice and took the time to listen and answer all my questions. His office staff was a little unorganized. I also consulted with other area surgeons and I like Dr. Fiallo the best.

'I was nervous before about getting the surgery until I went for my pre op appt. with Dr. Fiallo. He made me feel completley at ease. He answered all my questions
