Surgeon TestimonialLuciano A. DiMarco, D.O.I really liked Dr. D'marco when I first met him. He was very laid back...but very confident in his knowledge. He introduced himself to both my mom and I. Started the meeting by first looking at the upper GI films that I had with me, then let me ask questions, filled in information, and gave me details to the surgery that I needed to know. Basically, he told me much of what I already knew...only because I have researched the surgery. But for someone who didn't have any knowledge of the surgery...he was thorough... very much so.
His office staff was very nice...they were easy to talk to and answered questions. One thing though, as a new patient, I do not know who functions in what capacity, and was a little put off at one point when I stated a concern and felt I was brushed off by a staff memeber. It turned out that she was the nutrionist, and had knowledge that i didn't...therefore she wasn't concerned. I would like to have been introduced to various members of the staff before hand. IF I had I would have understood better why she was stating what she said and why I needed to believe her.
Aftercare is provided by his staff...and emphasized. Both with himself, then later with his associate, Dr. Weiger and a nutrionist.
The risks of surgery were covered very well. He had a list of information that he covered... things that were risks along with things that were possible complications, and things that i as a patient would have to do as followup.
I definately got the impression that he as well as his staff would work hard on my behalf.
There is quite a wait to see him and to get appointments with his office. It seems to me that he has a large amount of patients. I also feel that his practice is worth the wait...but know you will be waiting.

Chelle,
Congratulations -
you are doing
awesome! I can't
believe the success
that you've had - I
can only hope that I
am that lucky!
I wanted to let you
know that you might
want to look into
Curves. I have back
issues from a car
accident and some
days are better than
others. I joined
Curves in July of
this year and it
went really well for
me. (I can't wait
unitl I am 6 weeks
out, so I can go
back).
They suggest doing 3
circuits, but I was
only doing 2 because
that's about all my
back could handle.
If I did more, I
wouldn't be able to
walk the next day -
literally.
Try it out - it was
the perfect choice
for me and maybe it
will be for you,
too.
