My surgeos were Dr. Dicicco and Dr. Grossbard I found Dr. Grossbard online and decided to attent their seminar in Tampa (PS that would be a 2 hour drive for me).
Dr. Grossbard had the Lap Band and can relate to what a heavy set person has gone through, since he was heavy himself.
The staff at Journey Lite are amazing and they are my other angels, they were so helpful in every possible way. They went above and beyond to help me with my paperwork, I'm so grateful and I'm blessed to have them help me in the insurance paperwork and my questions.
They were very explesive on the risks, and that the Lap Band is a tool and that it can only assist you with the weight loss but everyone has to put 100% effort, exercise and etc in order for the Lap Band to work succesful.
I would rate Journey Lite and Dr. Dicicco and Dr. Grossbard an A+. The only negative comment I have is the location I wish they were closer to Orlando, but my life is worth it and I will commute to make my doctor visits and support groups.
I had gone to Dr. Grossbards seminar as well as Dr. DiCicco's seminar and love them both. Dr. DiCicco is very nice, down to business and extremely busy. I felt confident that he takes his job very seriously and does not leave room for error. The one bad thing is he is only at his Tampa office on Mondays and his other office is in Zephyrhills which is quite a drive for me. I wish he had more days in the Tampa office but I will deal with it.rnrnEveryone in his office has been wonderful. Barbara put up with me and all my questions before hand and Erica puts up with all my questions now. The girls that answer the phones are always so pleasant.
Dr. Rich DiCicco and Lee Grossbard performed my surgery 4/22/08.rnrnI went to 2 other seminars and met a couple other surgeons. I found Grossbard and DiCicco to be VERY... actually the most informative and experienced. DiCicco really seems to have the caring attitude and great bed side manners. Being one that is a medi-baby! (I'm a baby about anything medical!) the team really made me feel confortable and the surgery turned out to be very simple, morning in & out! surgery!!!rnrn I'll update as my trek progresses!!....
Dr. Dicicco is straight up. He is a man that believes in telling it like it is no matter if it hurts your feelings or not. This is good to have in a surgeon do to the fact that you should have confidence in someone that has your life in their hands and if you feel your surgeon is sugarcoating things or is lying then it will be hard to trust them. Dr. Dicicco is well educated in bariatric surgery and after all of my research I chose him over surgeons from allover the Central Florida area.
