Hi, Just wondering if anyone around the Long Island Area would recommend a certain doctor and why?

A surgeon? Dr. Arif Ahmad at Mather Hospital is one of the best. I originally consulted with him for my VSG. Only reason I switched is because I live in the city and trekking back to the island for follow ups wasn't going to be feasible.

I'm sure you found a great dr in the city though, right?

Dr. Dominick Gadaleta

_{I used Dr. Ahmad from Mather. First, it a bariatric center of excellence. Second, I checked his background, no lawsuits, no leaks, etc. He and his wife are very nice people. When you are going through the approval process, you need to pick someone close because doing the pre-op is like a part-time job. I would recommend him, although I think his practice is expanding so much, there is office waits & clerical errors (like same last name, apt confusion.) But, his surgical background and how many times he has done this far surpasses any of those other things.}

Dr Gadaleta. Had surgery 3 weeks ago. Pre op was great and I consider the surgery a success. He is my hero. Close to the city.

I am a patient of Gadaleta! love him!

I'm on Long Island and am going with Dr Heather McMullen with Syosett Hospital. Anyone heard good/bad things???

I used Dr Rajeev Vohra.He has done the most gastric sleeves and revisions in the new York area.
