I was asking a basic question to any Staten Islanders if they could recommend someone to do a colonoscopy. I guess I wasnt clear. :)

Greetings from Staten Island! There are 2 good sets of support groups here. One is though Dr. Ferzli's office. His office is mid-island and he has support groups near his office in SI and in Brooklyn which is just over the bridge. The other suport group is through Staten Island Uniersity Hospital and their bariatric group (Dr. Nicastro is one of the docs). I personally know the psychologists who do both sets of groups, and both are very good. Welcome to the Green Borough!
