Dr. Macura and Dr. Lazzaro are the best surgeons any one can ask for. Their office is great as well as their staff. They are dedicated, proffesional and highly reliable. Posted on 04/05/2005 |

My first impression of Dr. Lazzaro was very helpful, he was so patient and answered all the questions posed to him, sometimes even when they were not even related to the bariatric surgery. That first impression stayed with me and he is an excellent doctor.
He listens, never puts on any airs and always gives you straight information in a kind and compassionate way.
The office staff at the Brooklyn Barriatric Clinic are top rate. The program manager,
Gertrude, is an absolute angel. She helps everyone stay positive and she understands the serious decisions and explains many many details in a professional and courteous fashion. I felt very comfortable with the other team members as well. All very professional and helpful. What I like least about any good doctor is you... [Click here for more] have to be clear with your questions as they are very busy and yet if you forget to ask something, they or the support staff call you back immediately. I could not believe how prompt all my questions were answered.
Aftercare is strongly advocated and discussed at length before during and of course after surgery. They run support group meetings catering to the concerns of Pre-Op and Post-Op patients. The aftercare program is growing and I have every faith that the more people who participate the more services will be offered. The counseling on the vitamins and nutrition takes place in the office of the Doctors and with your personal coordinator and at the support group meetings.
The risks of surgery were clearl outlined and discussed during the pre-op presentation/orientation sessions.
Overall, I would rate both surgeons, Doctor Jerzy Macura, and Doctor Richard Lazzaro as excellent. Also their program Manager Gertrude Karras. The great part is that this team of doctors/surgeons have it all.
Great bedside manner, excelent surgical skill, and excellent competence.
I would strongly and highly recommend people to check out the Brooklyn Barriatric Clinic of Dr. Macura and Lazzaro.
As far as any negatives, the negatives I experienced were not the result of the Doctors or their team. The negatives had to do with the hospital staff and their competence levels. Some staff nurses are excellent and really care and others just treat you like a number. This you will find in most hospitals but I was relatively lucky overall.

I met Dr. Lazzaro at the Seminar that Mamonides holds. He was very informative and pleasant to speak to. I had my Surgeon appointment today - 5/4/04 which is my Birthday and he is a great doctor. He spoke to me in a very friendly manner and answered all my questions. I am so glad that I came to Maimonides for help. I have not met Dr. Macura yet but I did see him and say hello. I hear he is as nice a man as Dr. Lazzaro and I look forward to having my surgery done by Brooklyn's 2 best Surgeons!!! I would reccomend everybody who needs this surgery to see them.
