Dr. Ameri and his staff were superbly competent and supportive throughout the process. For various reasons (none denials) I took from 2003 to 2007 to finally go forward with this.rnrnThey have worked and reworked the process so carefully over the years that everything was very manageable and proceeded according to plan. rnrnI couldn't rate him or the people in the practice any higher. The nurses are especially knowledgeable and helpful. I liked seeing the same people in the hospital.rnrnI liked being out before reaching the OR. Seeing it at the time of my hysterectomy was very scary and overwhelming. Dr. Ameri has a great relationship with everyone at Winchester Hospital.rnrnNothing negative to say. If I really had to dig deep, I don't like getting shots in the stomach, even though they don't hurt any more than having blood drawn in the arm, and are medically helpful for preventing clots. This is so minor as to be negligible.rnrn
My first visit with Dr. Ameri was at his support group. I was completely amazed at his honesty, compassion and true sincerity. I had been to many other support groups in the Boston area. Most were informational explaining the actual surgerical procedure, the surgeon goes through a slide show for about a half hour and the meeting is over.rnDr. Ameri's group is for two hours. He explains the surgical procedure as well as all the pre & post-op information. He explains everything in detail good and bad. He doesnt sugar-coat it and doesnt leave one stone un-turned. So you leave thinking do I really want to do this? He answers all your questions and also has patients there that had the surgery anywhere from 2 weeks prior to 2 years and more. rnThen I had my first appointment in Dr Ameri's office. He is just wonderful and so are all of his staff. He is very interested in you as a person and your decisions. He is truly wonderful and I believe a gift from God. I am so grateful I have found such a great surgeon.
Dr Ameri and Louise, his nurse, are so personable and wonderful. They put me at ease right away and took such great care of me. They never made me feel that any question was silly. They did all the leg work with the insurance company. They submitted a complete package and a week later I was approved. I am very grateful for the care they gave and would recommend them to anyone.rn
Dr. Ameri performed a surgery on me before have gastric bypass. I choose him as he was wonderful my 1st surgery. His staff is the best you could ask for. No matter when you have a question Dr. Ameri or Louis is there to answer it. The whole staff offers complete support before and after and Dr. Ameri and Louis went over all the risks and the procedure to make me very comfortable with my decision. I cannot say enough about his practice. I would recommend them to anyone.
I felt that Dr. Ameri was very professional and knowledgeable yet kind and friendly. My first impression of him was when I went to see him with my partner. I was very direct and asked him a lot of questions about mortality and his track record. He was equally direct in his answers and I never felt he thought he needed to say anything but the complete truth. That made a very good impression. When I went to see him for myself I also met with his nurse Louise and over time I got to know others in his office. They are all very supportive and friendly and direct. Now that I am post-surgery, I continue to feel the same way about him. Just before surgery they and I realized that I had not done the preparation just right. I was embarrassed and worried that the surgery would not go ahead. Both Louise and Dr. Ameri scolded me a little about it and that didn't feel good but they were right and everything turned out okay. I have worked in hospitals and been the point person in a family member's surgery. I have had experiences in the past of arrogance and too busy attitudes that can be there even when a surgeon is a very skilled one. I think Dr. Ameri is an excellent surgeon and I also suspect he is a really fine human being as well. So far I haven't see even a hint of arrogance. He is a good fit for me.
My husband and I had our first meeting with Dr Ameri on Friday 9/2/05. The office staff were so nice and professional. We saw a nurse who reviewed the general process and was there to answer any questions we had. Informed me what I needed to do to get the surgery approved and what I needed for the second appointment. (a lot of homework!) We did have to wait about 1 hr to see him but once it was our turn I saw why- he takes his time! He told me alot about the surgery, why he believes in the surgery and how rewarding it is for him and the patients. He explained the procedure in detail to me. (I originally thought I would talk to him about the Lap Band surgery but found out he only does the gastric bypass) He said there were more complications with the lap band.
Now I just need to do my homework and decide if this surgery is for me and do what I have to to get the ball rolling!
I would recommend him to anyone!
POST OP 12/12/05 Surgery:
Very passionate and caring in helping people. He listened to me about my fear of being nauseous and vomiting- Not on second of nausea!! Still would recommend him in a heartbeat. THANKS DR. AMERI!!!
He is so sweet and laid back. He takes his job very serious, but still knows how to crack a joke.
My first appointment was in June. I have been going to the meetings every month. The more I get to know him, the more I like him.
The staff is great. They make you feel very welcome when you walk in the door. They are very personable.
They are a very strict group, but in a good way. It shows that they care. On a scale of 1-10. I rat ethem a 10. I have bragged about this team to my friends and now 2 of my friends are going to see him.
I sceduled my 1st appointment in August 2003 and Dec. 2003 was my first meeting with Linda, Louise and Dr. Ameri. Since I had my contact all with Linda up until that point, she was just as nice and comforting as she had been when I first spoke with her. Louise is the one that runs the show and I had weighed in and gone over all of my expectations, questions and concerns with her. Louise is the best - if you don't know her - you are less of a person for it. She is really very strict and seems hard as nails, but it is only for your own good. After Louise's military training(lol...you have to be there to see for yourself...hehe), you finally get to meet Dr. Ameri. He is an absolute sweetheart and I went from a whirling head of information to sudden calm and tranquil state when he entered the room. We chatted a little bit and then went over some of the things that i had just gone over with Louise - my first appt. was done and now I had work to do! Because of my crazy life, it took me 11 months to complete all requirements (and quit smoking) and get a date of 11/29/04. That day Louise and Dr. Ameri made everything so easy - surgery was a breeze (well for me - I was sleeping....hehe) and c'est la vie - surgery complete and feeling fine. In my opinion this team receives an A++++++ in my book in all aspects.
