"Besides the fact that he could pass as John Cusack's brother, he is AWESOME! I was and am treated with the utmost respect anytime I go into the office. He, as well as Debbie, Melissa, and Kristen, have forever changed my life and are dedicated to what they do and their patients. My process moved rather swiftly, as I had my consultation on Feb. 2nd and was in the OR on March 3rd. Thankfully, my life will never be the same. Dr. Cusack (as I call him) presented me with several options, but we...that's right... WE decided that, based upon my medical and family history, the RNY Bypass would be optimal for my health. I will never say that my option is for everyone. What I will say is that I wish that anyone who has ever struggled with their weight, as I have my entire adult life, could have been in that room with us the day that he explained to me how he was going to "fix my illness". He never used the words fat, obese, or even overweight. I was able to leave there excited, encouraged, and, most of all, respected as a person, regardless of my size. Thinking of that day literally brings tears to my eyes. Not only was he impeccable, but his staff, all the way down to the very last person affiliated with them at the hospital was super respectful and professional. My stay was pain free and I have NEVER been treated like a number. I have literally blown that office phone with questions on a daily basis, and they haven't blocked my number yet! They also have monthly support meetings that are wonderfully helpful and candid. I am now 4 months post op, 55 pounds lighter, and completely off of all my medication for high blood pressure. I could only be more pleased if he offered a free tummy tuck/boob job package! I truly love this doctor and his superb staff of cheerleaders/ supporters/ wonder women! 2 super skinny thumbs up!"
