St. John Providence Weight Loss Bariatric Center

I really likes Doctor Kole.I went Through Cori's Center.His presentaion was very informat he explained everything and showed Picture Graph.When he was done with the group he took us indulvisonaly and takled to me and my hubby.Also Id like to Thank his staff they have been really great and so helpfull.

I met Dr. Kole for the first time at a CORI seminar at Garden City Hospital. He was relaxed in his presentation to us, making us at ease. He was more than willing to answer all of our questions. He never made us feel like he was "selling" the surgery, he was just educating us on the procedure and all of its aspects, both positive and negative. After the seminar was over, he spent an extra hour or more answering the individual questions that some of us had for him. He is a good listener, and is immediately comfortable to talk to.

I have since had my group and individual consultation with him and have scheduled my surgery with him. He has gone over every possible complication that we can have. He presented them in the group consultation. He and the whole group have a specific aftercare program, and everything I am possibly going to need is in the binder that goes with my program.

As for anything else, I will have to address that after I have my surgery!

Dr.Pesta is a wonderful Surgeon,he is there when you need to talk or just for a quistion could not ask for more he is top notch would have him do all my surgery's if needed.

Dr Kole will be my surgeon now since Dr Sapala is leaving for New York for three months. I feel confident having Dr Kole perform my surgery after reading all the positive comments his patients have written and reading the information on his back ground in surgery.

From the beginning I thought Dr. Kole was a great surgeon. He seemed so knowledgeable and skilled. He has been a great doctor all the way!

I liked him he was friendly. I felt comfortable talking to him.

My impression has not changed.

The staff was very pleasant.



I liked the fact that he took extra precaution with me.

There is moderate emphasis on aftercare.

I'd say yes.

Dr.Kole gave a seminar on the risk of the surgery.
I would rate him a 10.

Both were great

I have no complaints about Dr. Pesta or his staff. He will take all the time you need when you're in to see him and is very thorough with his answers. You get all the information you'll ever need before and after the surgery. There should be no surprises after meeting with him before the surgery. I would highly recommend him to anybody. His staff is equally as excellent as him. They trully treat you as friends rather than just another patient. I have no regrets using Dr. Pesta or his facility.

a sweet, young-looking guy who does a fantastic job!

My first impression of Dr.Kerry Kole was very favorable, he was easy to talk to and straight forward.He is new to CORI but has done many RNY surgeries. My impression of Dr Kole has not changed he is a great Doctor, His office staff are great friendly and informative, they are thrilled with each paients progress. No negatives he did a great job I had no complications. He is good with his after care listens to any complaints. He is strong about the exercise and protein. I rate him as excellent, his surgical expertise was great, good bedside manner open and friendly.

My first impression was HE'S SO YOUNG.
My thoughts are that younger Doctors usually know the better technology. That's why I choose him. Dr. Marshall assisted with the surgery. He is more experienced so I wasn't worried about anything. They are both great.
Everyone at the Liv-Lite program is great too.
