I met with Dr Ibrihim on July 17th,2001.I was taken right away and greeted by a very lovely RN named Devorah.She is an angel.My first impression of the Dr. was a very good one. He did not rush me at all and explained everything to me in detail. He knew I was a Nurse but he still talked to me like I was a patient and I liked that.He has a great bedside manner and he came highly recommended as a surgeon from another Dr I had seen.He explained all of the risks and complications and stressed how you must adhere to the eating program after for continued success after the surgery.They have a weight management support group monthly that I can attend, and they encourage you to go.The only thing I was disappointed in was the waiting time. They have gotten very busy over the last few months and I have to wait 4 months for my surgery. I also did not realize that there would be so much pre-op testing involved before hand.At this point I would rate him as an excellent listener and would recommend the facility in Englewood to others considering this surgery.

Been calling the Doc's office to speak to the coordinators of surgery and insurance issues. I only get voicemails and no return calls.I am stuck in limbo and need to speak to them and am getting no response. I think they have been getting so busy over the last 6 months that it is getting harder for thm to give more personalized service than before.I have seen a definate change for the worse in communicating with the patients and call backs. since my consult in July 2001.
Dr. Ibrahim is a very nice man and an extremely capable doctor. My PCP said that he was "one of the best" in Englewood Hospital.
Dr. Silvestri, who operates with him, is very straight-forward.
Dr. Ibrahim (the optimist) said I would probably be in the hospital 2-3 days. Dr. Silvestri (the pessamist)said more like 5-7 days.
Devorah, the nurse, is great. Very caring and calming.
There is a support group that I attended once. I was not impressed because the room was so crowded that we had to stand. I will attend the next one and give comments.
