For anyone thinking of getting bariatric surgery I would highly recommend Dr. Aziz Merchant and his amazing team! I struggled with my weight for years and made some consultations with a couple different surgeons discussing options. None of these surgeons or staff provided me with what I was looking for in terms of treatment and care. That is until I walked into Dr. Merchant's office and was greeted by him and his team. Dr. Merchant showed understanding, compassion, and empathy. He addressed my concerns and answered all my questions in a very thoughtful, respectful, and truthful manner. I knew at that moment, after years of searching and trying, that I found the team that was going to treat me. We decided on performing the gastric sleeve. During this journey, I got to meet and be guided by Ingrid Alfano, the nurse practitioner, of the bariatric surgery. Ingrid was always there to answer questions, to help guide me both pre and post operatively. She was an outstanding partner on this journey. Ingrid also led with compassion and empathy and took you by the hand throughout the entire process. Working with Ingrid was truly a special experience. I also worked with Jamaica Laluces, Medical Assistant, who was fantastic with answering my many emails and requests for information, especially concerning insurance and scheduling. The entire team was supportive and worked diligently to make me feel comfortable and set me up for success. This process is a very personal one filled with many emotions and having a dedicated caring team by your side was truly a gift. I am down 120 pounds since the surgery and feeling great! Each person's journey is different, but I have to say that mine thus far has been wonderful. The surgery went without any complications and the post operative care was extraordinary. I had no adverse events and very minimal side effects or symptoms. It has been a true gift. If anyone is thinking of embarking on their own journey, I would enthusiastically recommend making a consultation appointment with Dr. Merchant and the amazing team! You will not be disappointed and you will be greeted by individuals who care about you and your success!!
