Marc Antonetti Bariatric Surgeon M.D., FACS

Dr. Antonetti helped saved my life. There are no words to describe what he's done for me. He treated me with respect and kindness. He answered all of my questions, was straightforward and held nothing back. I appreciate all that you've done for me. Thank-You Dr. Antonetti and Riverside Surgical!!!

Dr Antonetti is pleasant and has great bedside manner. He took good care of me and I am so glad I chose riverside surgical group. Riverside as a whole is EXCELLENT!

Dr. Antonetti was awesome! Riverside Surgical works together as a team and someone was checking on me throughout my stay at the hospital. I saw Dr. Antonetti everyday and Lynn came by every morning to check on me. My surgery was a breeze and I had no complications. Dr. Antonetti is a man of few words but he really cares about his patients and goes above and beyond to make sure their surgery is successful and as painless as possible. I would recommend him to anyone else. Dr. Antonetti and Riverside Surgical stress aftercare programs and they have so many tools available to help you throughout your recovery. The nutritionist is out on maternity leave, in fact she had the baby the same time I was having surgery but I have her home email and I can send her a message anytime I need to and she responds back!

He is so cool!! You can tell he is sincere in wanting you to be successful!

I went with SC Obesity Ctr because of their reputation, both personally known and nationally. Dr. Antonetti and his staff are making my journey easy and pleasant to date. Both pre-op and post-op instructions have been so thourough and easy to follow. I also appreciate having thier personal nutritionist, Emily, at hand at any time needed. I highly recommend this group to anyone who is serious about changing his/her life for the better.

I liked him and he listened to me.rnIt has not changed over time.rnThe office staff was very nice.rnThe thing that I like least about them is that they do not accept Medicaid, so I had to pay the copayment out of pocket.rn

Dr Antonetti is just wonderful. He answered every question that I and my husband had. He is always upbeat and smiling when I see him. He has this positive \"aura\" that eminates from him. I felt very at ease knowing he would be doing my surgery. rnrnRiverside Surgical's program has so far been wonderful for me. The NUT, Emily, is one of those tell it like it is people. And that is what I need to hear. Everyone that I have dealt with has been kind and caring.

When I first had my appointment with Dr. Antonetti, he was professional and to the point. He didn't waste any time with chit-chat. He let you ask the questions and was very patient with you. He never talked down to you and was confident in his profession. As I got closer to surgery, he was there to answer all of my questions. When I had my surgery, I went in expecting an RNY, however, he saw some complications and after consulting with my wife, I came out with a VSG instead. I had never heard of this surgery and he said that it was new. He said that the complications that he found could result in leakage. I think he did the right thing. My surgery went extremely well, I went into the hospital on wednesday, and I was out on Friday. I highly recommend him and I am glad to have him as my surgeon.

My first impression of Dr. Antonetti was that he didn't quite listen to everything I said. But, I felt very at ease and comfortable mostly because of his last name. It reminded me of times in my childhood and a favorite teacher, a best friend, and others. My impression changed the closer it got to my surgery. I realized he has a sense of humor and I like that in people. I grew to like him and trust him more and more. It also helped that I did research on the Internet. He also made sure that I understood what was expected of me prior to surgery and that I understood the risks involved in surgery. I think the office staff is very professional with the exception of a couple of his nurses. I don't think some of the younger nurses have much experience at being patient sensitive and caring. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Antonetti. He is very professional, asks questions, always has a smile, and is very knowledgeable and skilled in his profession. We have to remember that doctors are not mind readers and if we have questions we need to ask. Dr. Antonetti is no different except that he will ask if we have any questions and will answer questions in a way that non-physicians would understand. I think Dr. Antonetti is an asset to Lexington Medical Center and we should all feel blessed to have someone of his talent and reputation in our community.
