Long Island Doctors Wanted



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
