"Dr. Marema is absolutely amazing! What an incredible human being and what a brilliant surgeon. Over time, my opinion of him only gets even stronger. He is kind and gentle and willing to answer any questions you may have. I feel with all of my heart that he absolutely loves what he does for the morbidly obese and that each and every one of his patients is equally as important to him.
His team is also amazing: First, I was lucky enough to have another doc from his office doing the rounds at the hospital; Dr. Diaz. Dr. Diaz is also amazing. He came by everyday and made sure I was ok. He was really gentle about removing the JP Drain - I was thankful. He always had a smile on his face too.
The rest of the staff members at US Bariatric are all special in their own way. They are all very professional and very supportive. No question is a stupid question to them.
What I love the most about the program at US Bariatric is that the aftercare program includes everything I need. They even have the vitamins and protein supplements at the offie to give to you - you never have to go anywhere else but there.
About the Pre-op info: They have support group meeting monthly and weekly info sessions. Before you actually go to an appt at the office you attend an info session where they then give you a folder with information they ask you to fill out and send back in order to include you in their database. I strongly recommend you do this step by step and not try to skip a step. This will make the entire process work smoothly for you.
To me, the most important is surgical competence and I feel that at US Bariatric with Dr. Marema or any of his associates you are getting the absolute best! I also feel that bedside manner is extremely importanta and as I said before, the two of the surgeons I have dealt with are absolutely amazing human beings. Most important Dr. M is an incredible surgeon you can be 100% of that."
