My first impression when I saw Dr. Yurcisin was that he looked very young. But I did my research he has done alot of these procedures. I feel very confident in his work and I'm glad that I took the step and attended one of his seminars. They explained the good and the bad of the different procedures and he helped you make an informed decision on which one was best for me.

The office staff is awesome. They work hard trying to make sure that everything is ready for your big day.

I had my surgery on December 7, and I couldn't say enough about how great Dr. Yurcisin and his staff are. They are all friendly, informative, and helpful. I felt supported every step of the way. Dr. Yurcisin has a great bedside manner and takes his time with patients. I never felt rushed and he and his PA, Michael, were always available to answer questions. I had absolutely zero complications from my surgery, and a very easy recovery. I attribute that to all of the information I received ahead of time. I felt prepared and ready. You will NOT be disappointed with Dr. Yurcisin.

I am a Nurse and was referred to Dr Yurcisin by a colleague. Dr Yurcisin's credentials are far above many doctors in the Tri State Area. He is extremely knowledgeable and caring to his patients. He is younger than most physicians performing this surgery but as a nurse I can tell you that he was trained by the best on how to do THIS PROCEDURE. These surgeries did not exist 20 years ago when the other doctors were trained. That goes a long way. Pick him you won't be disappointed

My primary doctor referred me to Dr. Yurcisin - and Obesity Help website and the hospital affiliation. Dr. Yurcisin's knowledge and expertise, the entire team at the office and the comprehensive services offered at the office - and the total comfort are just a few of the reasons I stayed with GSBWC. I had surgery on April 25th 2011 - and 14 days post surgery - I felt lighter and lost 20 lbs!!!

In the beginning right after surgery, I was in the bathroom 24/7. I was feeling depressed and wondered if I had made the right decision. I talked with some of my support group friends and realized this was natural. Support IS important. I continue to stay with these amazing group fo people at gSBWC to continue this changing life adventure!

Surgery in March 2011 - since surgery - off ALL Diabetes meds- no more Insulin shots.

I just wanted to write and thank you for giving me a second chance at life. From the 1st phone call I made to the office, I was treated with kindness and respect. Keisha, Dominga and Bella went out of their way to accommodate me with everything - including scheduling my surgery for the day I asked for.

It's so comforting to know that there are medical professionals out there who really do care about their patients; it's not just a business to them.

I have been heavy my whole life, and I can't tell you how many times I cried myself to sleep and prayed to be able to experience what life would be like, even for just ONE day if I was thin and healthy. You have given me hope that I will not only have that for one day, but the rest of my life.

This weight has been like a demon inside of me that I couldn't control. I know they say that this surgery is only a tool and I understand that, but it's a tool I needed to beat this demon - and everyone at GSBWC are the angel that put the tool in my hands. I know I have along road ahead of me, but I am confident that with the help of all at GSBWC, I will have a long happy life and I am so grateful. Thank you all for everything!

Dr. Yurcisin performed my Gastric Bypass surgery - and my gallbladder surgery on September 1st 2011. I attended Dr. Yurcisin's informational seminar and he thorougly explained the pros/cons of surgery; is highly trained and seasoned in the field and totally takes the time needed - every time - and worked out what I needed in terms of surgery, my schedule and my challenges with health issues.

I have greatly reduced the medications I take for my Diabetes and am down to only one medicine - for now - and look to remove all medications. My self-confidence is back and I am enjoying shopping again.

I have contemplated bariatric surgery for quite a few years - but was fearful. Once I attended the infomational seminar, my fears were lifted. Dr. Yurcisin took his time to explain the benefits of bariatric surgery and even the complexities that may occur (in my situation) due to 2 cases of pancreatitis. I feel great and look forward to a new future.

Thank YOU!

Dr Yurcisin did my gastric sleeve surgery on October 10, 2011. In two weeks I lost 22 lbs and I am still adjusting with weight and my meds - every day is better and better. Dr. Yurcisin's credentials are top notch - and his care, concern - the timem and attention he took with from our initial contact, our consult and every step of the way - he is a True Top doc in every way that matters.

I feel it is the best decision I could have made for myself. I improve my health and my self-esteem. I have great expectations for success. Dr Yurcisin and his staff have been most helpful and instrumental in my journey. Also, the hospital, St. Barnabas, was very good and helpful with my care and wellness. Together, they made my journey a very good experience.

Dr Yurcisin did my gastric sleeve surgery on September 26th 2011...and he has been great! I was referred to the office from both a family member and a friend... and came to Dr Yurcisin's seminar on the surgeries and the options. He explained everything clearly and outlined all the pros/cons. Dr. Yurcisn's expertise and knowledge is amazing and works with you all along the way. His attention to my care and concerns - so glad he is my surgeon for life.

I am off all my diabetic medicine, have my self-confidence back and looking forward to my new and healthy journey. Self-confidence; a smaller size for my health and to finally enjoying clothes shopping again - all great reasons for making the decision to get healthy. Of course I have and do refer my friends and colleagues to the office. Thank you!

You'll see me in Century Club - watch out!
