Dr. Holland and his office staff are very dedicated to bariatric paients. There is strong support both pre-op and post-op. I would strongly recommend Dr. Holland for any procedure, and would choose his practice for any future surgery I may need.

First impression of Dr. Rovito was this guy is a straight shooter. He told it like it is and what more could you ask for. By the time my first pre op visit was over, I knew this was my Dr. His office staff is very friendly and made this an even easier process. Traveled to Allentown for the operation and he came out and met me with my family. After the operation was finished he came out to them and let them know everything was fine. Spent 1 night in the hospital and was discharged after a few tests the following day. If you live within 3 hours of Allentown PA. Dr. Rovito is worth the trip. He is FANTASTIC.

Dr. Rovito was refferred to me by a friend and My first impression of Dr. Rovito was that he is determining, compassionate individual that saw your weight loss journey as his own. Dr. Rovito has a wonderful bedside manner and takes pride in his work. His office staff is incredible, and determined to see you get the surgery approved. Aftercare is very high priority to Dr. Rovito. He questions you on everything you are doing for excersise and eating, if your taking in enough protein, fluids, ect. Risks of surgery were definitly stressed on. I remember waking up after surgery and stating to the nursing staff \"I'm Alive\", that is a big worry to all, but i made it with flying colors. I would rate Dr. Rovito above and beyond 10's. I would highly recommend Dr. Rovito to anyone considering RNY surgery.

I fell in love with my doctor right away. He is very pleasant and has a great beside manner. rnThe office staff are great the nurses are on top of things with the insurance matters and I've called a few times after surgery with questions and the attended to me with no hesitation. rnFuture patients should know that Dr. Rovito knows his stuff. He knows about the insurance processes and he knows why you are there in the first place and never makes you feel bad that you are overweight at all. On a scale from 1-10, Dr. Rovito would be a 10+++ he is very competent at what he does in the OR as well as out of the OR he is very tender and know his patients very well. Thank you Dr. Rovito your talent has changed my life and I am very grateful for the ability to live a life of freedom again.

Dr. Rovito is the greatest!! The personal care he gives his patients is amazing!! He is truly the most gifted surgeon I have ever met! When he did my surgery, he found that my liver is extremely large, healthy, but extremely large. He worked very hard to ensure my surgery was completd laproscopicly. It is my opinion, any other surgeon would have taken one look at my liver and decided it was too large to complete the surgery laproscopicly and would have opened me up, making my recovery harder and longer. I feel I was truly blessed to have Dr. Rovito was my surgeon!

He is a great surgeon. The team at Sacred Heart Hospital is wonderful. Dr Holland and Dr Sawyna go into every surgery together so you always have 2 surgeons with you. The bariatric coordinator Karen Nisky is just as wonderful. She is so helpful. The hospital does have a suppost group. Dr Holland reviews everything with including all the risks and benfits. He is an awesome surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone!

My first impression of Dr Rovito was a good great one. He was funny and straight to the point. I was happily suprised he was so cool. Over time my opinion of Dr Rovito was even stronger then it was before. I had some complications and he was always there telling me what needed to be said not no BS. His office staff is also pretty cool. They worked closely with me to make sure my insurance approved the surgery. They are very caring as well. If you are in the area Dr Rovito is the only choose for you. Dr Rovito is upfront and will tell you all that could happen and wont dissappoint you. I cant say enough about Dr Rovito and his team.

My surgeon was awesome. He was very forward and he told me like it was. His office staff was wonderful. They wer every helpful and very friendly. The first appointment Dr. Rovito went over the details of the surgery including what to expect before, during and after the surgery. He was very candid, forward and blunt. I loved that about him. After care was great. I saw him once a month for a while and then it got spread out further. He was very picky about his patients and how they were treated in his office as well as in the hospital. He is one of the best in the valley and I have since had 2 more surgeries done by him.
