"My first impression of Dr. Quilici was that he was friendly and very helpful. He made me feel at ease about any questions that I had. I researched him on the internet and he is an excellent surgeon, not just WLS but for all types of surgery, this made me feel better because he has a broad knowledge base from which to work with. The only drawback is that the person in charge of scheduling the WLS is arrogant, lazy and doesn't do her job well (IMHO). The rest of the staff was really great and I am looking forward to having my surgery soon. His emphasis on aftercare is very good, he stresses making changes even before surgery and is emphatic about post surery follow up. He really encourages you to join a support group in your area. I have read that alot of people think that he is like the doctor on that show House, but I did not have that impression of him. He was as frienly as any other doctor. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say that he is 9 3/4 only because nobody is perfect."
