Thomas Cerabona Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

1/5/00 I met Dr. Cerebona for the 1st time. He was so kind and reassuring. I feel confident with him. He told me (+) and (-). He was sure to paint the whole picture. He nurse Colleen is as he says, "his right hand". She too made me confident and was very imformative for insurance purposes. My only negative thing was I left without a surgery date. I had to have 5 different consultations. I've made my mind up and am now very impatient. I want it done yesterday. But Dr. Cerebona and Colleen assured me the day will be here soon. Future patients should know that along with his being knowledgeable, confident and experienced, he is very easy on the eyes to look at. Colleen expressed enphatically that they will follow with me afterwards regarding diet for quite awhile. She made it clear that there will be certain things that cannot be eaten right away and that is why they follow closely. Considering I have only met Dr. Cerebona once I give him a 10 rating. I took my dad, who is not always confident with doctors, however, Dr. Cerebona got all A's with him too. A good doctor needs to be competent. He has to know his craft and his peers have to believe in him. My personal doctor, recommended Dr. Cerebona to me, after he did a surgical on her. If a doctor recommends another doctor after personal experience what more do you need!!! However, Dr. Cerebona's bedside manner is great also. When I saw there was a waiting room full of patients waiting to see him. However, when I went it he did not rush me and made me feel like I was the only one there.

DR CERABONA WAS THE NICEST, KINDEST AND MOST TRUSTING SURGEON A PATIENT COULD ASK FOR. HE NEVER RUSHED YOU IN MEETING AND DISCUSSING THE PROCEDURE WITH YOU. HE WAS ALWAYS THERE AFTER SURGERY TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS OR GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE RECOVERY, AND HIS AFTERCARE PROGRAM WAS
THE BEST WAY TO KEEP ME ON TRACK. HIS OFFICE STAFF WAS ALWAYS QUICK TO GET THE DOCTOR A MESSAGE IF A PROBLEM AROSE AND THE DOCTOR ALWAYS CALLED YOU BACK IN A TIMELY FASHION. NOT TO MENTION HE WAS GREAT TO
LOOK AT! HE WAS SO SUPPORTIVE AND HONEST ABOUT MY CONDITION AND HE MADE ME FEEL LIKE HETRULY CARED ABOUT MY WELL BEING. MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF HIM WAS WOW HE'S CUTE. MY IM0PRESION CHANGED OVER TIME HEN I FOUND OUT HE WAS MARRIED!

I actually had a tema of doctors that included Dr. Cerabona. I was very happy with all of them and would reccommend them to anyone considering this surgery.
