MetroWest Medical Center Hospital

I've actuall only met with him once but his staff has been wonderful, very helpful and supportive.

My first meeting went well. He was nice and I felt very comfortable with him.

I've heard great things about him from other people I know as well as from my nutritionist who has also worked with other patients of his.

His office gave me a True/False test to ensure my understanding of the procedure and of the aftercare, which is indeed very structured.

He addressed all the risks in my first consultation with him as well as in the reading material he sent me home with.

I feel very comfortable and confident about his ability.

My first consult with Dr.Ameri in August was great. He made me feel at ease and comfortable and was in no rush. He spent time going over everything so that I completely understood what this entailed: a lifelong commitment. I felt completely sure he was the right surgeon for me. I have a good instinct about people, and from what I've heard from others, they agree about him. I am scheduled for surgery 2/6/03 and can't wait!! I have met some of his post op patients and they have done wonderful!! My sister in law is a nurse in recovery at Winchester Hospital, so she knows alot about the surgeons. She had nothing but good things to say about him. She states he is very experienced in lap and is easy on the tissue when performing the surgery.
His whole "way" about him, makes you realize you made the right choice and are literally putting your life in his hands.
It's a leap of faith I am willing to take with him.

Dr.Ameri was a very compassionate man. He was friendly and made me very comfortable speaking with him. I feel that he had so much concern for the increasing demand for this surgery and the lack of enough surgeons performing this procedure therefore creating such a long wait for everyone in need.He spoke of Rny as a very gratifying procedure in that he gains so much satisfaction in helping us to change our health and our lives. The office is very busy and I think the increase in demand has them working extremely hard to get people through as quick and efficiently as possible.I have only just begun,waiting for them to submit my paperwork for insurance approval.I will update more as I go. So far, Dr. Ameri gets an A+

I met with Dr. Ameri today and all I can say is he is awesome!!! He answered every question I had, didnt brush me off, and took his time! He spent a good 30 mins going over the surgery and requirments! His staff, linda and louise are excellent! Louise goes over everything in depth and leaves no stone unturned! I would definatly recommend friends and family to use this Dr for their surgery.

My first impression of Dr. Ameri...compassionate, intelligent. He took his time with me, I never felt rushed. He answered all my questions honestly. I am looking forward to a wonderful patient/doctor relationship with Dr. Ameri.

Dr. Ameri's office staff: Linda his secretary and Louise his nurse are wonderful women! You almost look forward to your doctor visits...you are welcomed by Linda with a big smile (even though she is incredibly overworked!) Louise is just as wonderful...a bit more serious, but then so is her job. I felt very "calm" after meeting with Louise...she put all my fears to rest...a difficult thing to do.

I liked Dr Ameri right away. He really seemed like a all right guy.

Dr Ameri was very caring, concerned and attentive to me when I first met him. He took the time to answer each of my questions in detail. His nurse, Louise is incredible. She'll be in the OR with me. It's very comforting to know someone will be there who's travelled this journey with so many others. Louise reviewed the risks of the surgery. Although no one wants to hear that there are risks, she's very open and honest. She set me at ease right away.

Linda, the office manager, is unbelievably helpful and patient. She handled all the insurance correspondence, and kept me informed through the entire process. She has such a gift to offer these patients.

My first impression of Dr. Ameri....compassionate! He is a wonderful, caring man and I immediately felt at ease. My first visit to the office was wonderful. The first face I saw was Linda, the office manager who immediately made me feel like an old friend! I was taken to a room and met with Louise who is Dr. Ameri's assistant. She spent a great deal of time with me and explained everything that I would need to do prior to any surgery date being scheduled. She is extremely knowledgable, helpful and has a very calming presence that made this patient feel much more relaxed, because let's face it...although we are all looking forward to this procedure....it is still major surgery, so having a team that is as friendly, professional and comes across as soothing..is such a comfort! There was nothing I liked least about this wonderful crew. Dr Ameri is such a delightful man. I have researched this procedure extensively and have found Dr. Ameri to be the best! This was evident at my first and second meeting with him. He spent an extensive amount of time with me, answered every question (and there were quite a few). I have NEVER felt rushed by anyone in this office!

I have been researching Gastric Bypass for a year. I have called Mass General, Newton-Wellesley, NEMC, and several other facilities, however I was treated like a number. I called Dr. Ameri's office after reading about him on the website, and am I glad I did! My first call was with Linda, she kept me on the phone for about 30 minutes explaining how things work. She was the first person to make me feel like a normal person! The I met with Louise and Dr. Ameri. Both were fantastic. Again I felt very comfortable. The only downfall to the office is that they are very busy. It is hard to get a hold of people there and scheduling is tight. I wish they had someone in the office to handle just the obesity cases. Other than that I am very happy with them and would recommend anyone there.
