"I have a friend who had surgery 18 months ago who had Dr Ben-Meir. She's done so well and had no complications. She liked him and that was good enough for me.rnWhen I met him the first time, I was impressed with his knowledge and understanding. But, that pales to what I feel for him now. I could not have asked for a better surgeon. Besides being a great surgeon he has a wonderful beside manner. He takes the time to talk with you and LISTENS. He really cares for his patients. He is very \"hands on\". He wants to make sure you are taken care of 100%. I had some complications due to blood thinning meds and had to be readmitted twice after surgery. I saw him twice a day, every day while I was in the hospital for the complications. I simply can not say enough about him. HE'S GREAT!! rnrnNot to forget the staff at St Vincent's. They were all great too. From the staff at the Center for Bariatric Surgery to the great nurses and aides at the hospital. They were wonderful and knew their speciality.rnrnThere is a structured aftercare program from counseling, support groups, scheduled visits etc. This is a all encompassing program. Anything you need is addressed. The staff is available 24hrs a day if needed in an emergency. rnrnI would recommend St Vincent Charity Hospital for bariatric surgery and my surgeon, Dr. Ben-Meir."
