Michael Caromano Physician Assistant (PA) PA-C, Toms River

After working 12 years in primary care, I was given the opportunity to grow as a physician assistant as apart of a unique surgical practice.  I was attracted to Garden State Bariatrics by the strong relationships they make with their patients before and long after surgery. In addition to my responsibilities assisting each surgeon, I look forward to extending a helping hand to navigate each patient through the process by clearly explaining what is ahead while answering any question they may have along the way. My goal is to make everyone’s life easier while doing my part to improve the quality of it. I am truly excited each time I encounter a new patient as I understand that such decisions in life may benefit from someone who is enthusiastic about the transformation as I am. I also look forward to seeing and meeting patients who have been with the practice for years as they provide valuable insight which I can pass along to others and possibly help when there is a need. Finally, my background includes a degree in Exercise science and I will be readily available to develop tips tailored to your abilities to initiate or increase physical activity which will improve and maximize your performance.
