"After 1 year, and 150 pound lost, what can I say but ... DOCTOR ABKIN, AND ALS, GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK !! .. I can't thank them enough ... Quick synopsis: I researched gastric banding for 3 years before I decided to do it. In all my research, Dr. Abkin’s (and Bertha’s) names were always regarded very highly in the field. What I liked most about Dr. Abkin was his straight-forward honestly. He never talked me into one procedure or the other. He listened, and respected the surgery I wanted. I had my Realize band operation done on January 29th 2008, and was the best thing I ever did. I was back “to normal” within two days. I can truly say Doctor Abkin not only saved my life, but gave it back. .. And the folks at ALS are great too - plus I can't tell you how many \"friends\" I made from ALS and the Support Groups. What other Medical team has the \"Program For Life\" program .. Notice it's Program for LIFE .. These folks are in it for the long haul !! If you have any hesitation concerning Doctor Abkin, or ALS, DON’T !! Paraphrasing those Pizza box saying .. “You’re looked at the rest, now go to the BEST” !!"
"Rosemaery, along with Cheryl Iannicelli, are two of the best Nutritionists out there. They are not only knowledgeable, but they are kind and compassionate. They care about each individual, and actually take the time to “listen” to each person - and make recommendations on that person’s needs/issues. No “cookie cutter” (pardon the pun) practice with them. You will never find two better Nutritionists in the entire State. "

"Doctor Ziolo is an "old fashion" doctor. You’re not another number; she really cares about her patients. She takes the time to know each and every patient, and explains (in detail) what course of action she’s going to take. She’s honest, and one the best doctors I’ve seen in a very long time. "
