"Dr Artuso was recommended to me by another health provider and I couldn't be happier. From the first evaluation to the surgery and now almost 9 weeks post op- he has been wonderful. I have lost about 35 pounds already. No question was too small. All of Dr Artuso's staff are the best, friendly and helpful. His assistant Pat- at St Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie actually came to the holding area of Pre- op to wish me well, and was there on my first \"fill\" appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Artuso to anyone considering this surgery"
