"Dr. Klonsky is probably the best doctor I've ever had. He was the surgeon performing my RNY and He was the doctor I had seen for all but one of my pre-op appointments (which was my first consult with Dr. Ahmad) and I have seen him for all of my post-op appointments thus far.
I had first looked him up online and researched him a little. At first I was a bit skeptic because he was younger and I didn't know how many of the surgeries he had done and since he wasn't at the informational seminar I had gone to, I wasn't sure how he was interacting with patients. With that said, my first impression of him was one of the best from any doctor. He is kind, respectful and funny. He went over his concern for me on being as overweight I was and put me on a pre-op diet and said he'd like to see me lose at least 30-40 lbs PRE-OP (which i did with his encouragement and guidance!) in order to do the surgery safely and not have to put a filter in my chest to prevent blood clots. He met with me once or twice a month from January to May. He was incredibly encouraging and proud of me throughout my pre-op weight loss and still is now post op. The practices aftercare program is great and I am seeing amazing success (I'm just over 3 months out and about 60lbs down, 112 total since December of 2010). He came to check on me in the hospital and make sure I was doing okay each day and was the last person I saw before I was discharged.
Everything about my experience with Dr. Klonsky has been nothing short of amazing. I really had the BEST experience throughout anything and I sing the praises of Dr.K to anyone who will sit still long enough to hear me. He is without a doubt my favorite doctor to see :) "
