"I absolutely adore Dr. Cussatti and completely trust him. He has an extremely down-to-earth presence and has the nicest demeanor. He takes the time to listen to you and see what has been going on in your life before he goes on with your examination. Once you get to know him, you see him as a nice guy that cares about you as an individual, not a number. It's quality first with Dr. Cussatti. I first met Dr. Cussatti at an introductory seminar at his office in W. Islip. I was extremely impressed with his articulation, yet he had a sense of warmth that makes him very approachable. Asking questions is never a problem. He goes into depth and does not rush you out of the room. I really appreciate that. When we sat down for our initial consultation, I knew I made the right choice when exiting the office. I felt completely confident that I selected a wonderful surgeon. Now that I'm almost 3 months post-op, I can say that with no doubts. His office staff is fairly polite and informative, and if they cannot answer your questions, they will patch you in with him or have him call you back. There may be one or two staff members that should recheck their attitudes at the door occasionally, but for the most part I'd say they are professional. I really like his aftercare policy. I believe that he is concerned with my individual progress. I feel very taken care of when I walk through the door each month for my check up, and always feel that we're on the same page. I guess maybe because he's a younger doctor, I can feel like I'm on the same wavelength because I'm also young and have more of an open thinking process than a lot of others, but I think I just got really lucky when picking my surgeon because I had extremely high expectations before I saw any other surgeon and Dr. Cussatti was the first surgeon I had actually met with. I think that is a good thing. He surpassed what I thought would be a good surgeon. I don't believe in rating people on a scale of sorts, but he would definitely be much higher than a ten. "
"The day and night staff were both very accommodating. If I needed any pain medication, I received it in less than 10 minutes, and only needed to ring the call bell once. They checked in on me frequently. The staff on the 4th floor are exceptional. "
"I feel this product is substantial. It has virtually no flavor (unflavored version), and can be mixed into most any liquid (lower than 130 degrees F). It can be mixed into yogurt, pudding, broth, beverages and soups without altering the flavor very much. "
"I felt very comfortable with Dr. Fischer. He made me feel that I wasn't going to see him for just a pre-surgical evaulation. Dr. Fischer has experience in the weight-loss industry, and showed sensitivity during our discussion, and was very patient. "
