"I highly recommend this practitioner. Dr. Terracina was knowledgeable & enthusiastic at the initial Lap-Band seminar. The office staff & clinic nurses were courteous and helpful, if slow to return calls post-op. One-on-one, Dr. T took plenty of time to address my concerns and was supportive, direct and never insensitive. He was positive and forthright on the day of my surgery; even counseling my husband after the operation was completed on how to be the most helpful in my long-term success. His bedside manner was both reassuring and encouraging. Regarding surgical competence, I’m only a week out and would prefer to withhold judgment for fear of jinxing the smooth recovery I’m having so far! :-D "
