Riverside Surgical Associates Organization

Dr. Jiser and the program at the Center for Weight Management at Lowell General are fantastic! Their required pre-op courses are informative and useful, and they really do their best to make sure you are prepared for the life change that WLS requires. The entire staff at both the Chelmsford and North Andover offices is amazing, so kind and helpful.

Dr. Jiser is very upfront, matter-of-fact and doesn't sugarcoat things, very "tell it like it is." However, he is also very friendly and personable, and inspires confidence! He did the VSG on both my husband and myself, and we have both had great recoveries and great results to date.

The hospital and staff at Lowell General Hospital were excellent as well. The nurses and aides were incredibly caring and kind, and the facilities were great. Also, the hospital has been recently renovated, and every room is a private room with a pull out sofa to allow your support person to stay in the room with you if desired. It was a very comfortable stay! The Center for Weight Management at Lowell General does have a Center of Excellence designation for those insurance companies that require it.

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Jiser and the program at Lowell General Hospital! I believe you won't find better care anywhere else in MA.

Michael Jiser is a great doctor. He is very direct, he will spend as much time with you as needed, and he will provide you with all the information you need to make a decision on surgery. When I met with him it was my second time going into a program to lose weight. I had my vertical sleeve gastrecomy done by him on April 2nd of 2012. I have lost 60 pounds since the surgery and have never felt better and slowly and steadily losing weight. His staff is great and they are always there to help. I would recommend Dr. Jiser to anyone who needs weight surgery or an abdominal surgeon without any reservation at all.

Dr. Jiser is smart, friendly, professional, and trustworthy. His office in Concord has great staff and an amazing support system. He did a wonderful job with my Realize Band surgery and I would highly recommend him and his practice at Emerson.

i meet with dr.jiser and he has a verygood personality and very thourgh and doent rush you! very nice guy! i fell very confident with him~!

I meet my surgeon at the information meeting at Emerson Hospital. I had a good vibe when he was talking about the different surgeries. He was very straight forward and told you how it is. After talking to a few friends I found out that they had Dr. Jiser and were very happy. After I had my meeting with him, he made me feel comfortable.

I just had surgery 3/11/09 @ Emerson hospital. Dr. Jiser was my surgeon he was great answers all your questions . The Emerson WLS program is wonderful the after care the team in concord is the best.

Dr Jiser is AWESOME! Very prof, great bedside manner..takes plenty of time with you and listens to any and all questions.

My first impression was that he was late, my appointment was for 3:15pm but i didn't see him until close to 4pm. After that i really liked him, very personable, and ethical. When i told him my problem with my past surgeon that i was suppose to have he did not bad mouth her but he did say its not the first time he heard that. So i liked him, his support that i get now and he said i will be getting after. I am looking forward to having this surgery with him

I would love to tell you all about Dr. Jiser! If you're interested, and thinking of having him do your procedure, contact me so we can talk!

I feel Dr Jiser is straight forward and takes this very seriously. All the staff in Lowell are great. Aftercare is huge at Lowell Weigt Loss center. They have classes every week and tons of support.
