Anthony Terracina Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

Dr. Terracina is a truly caring surgeon. He took the time to sit down after my surgery and explain everything to my family. He made sure I knew how to take care of myself at home. He also allowed me to stay one extra night at the hospital so I could get my pain under control. He also has a 24 hour phone line where I can reach him or Dr. Clark (other surgeon) if you have questions. He is one of the best surgeons I have met, and his patients recover quickly and rarely have complications.

I feel like a number....not a personrnrnThe office environment however, leaves a lot to be desired. I think they have way more patients than they can handle and so I ended up feeling like a number not a person. It was all a little disorganized and frustrating for me. I dont think this was intentional but, just didnt get a warm fuzzy. rnrnThe nutritionist was GREAT. Very helpful and friendly.

Dr. Terracina is a great surgeon. He is very dedicated, extremely knowlegable and caring. He always makes sure his patients are taken care of and is one of the best at what he does. Would highly recommend him.

just want to say again a big thank you! I heard today of a friend 3 years post op dying of complications from her surge at 31! !! I am almost 10 years and feel great!!!!

I love Dr. T. I can't find a bad thing to say about him. He was very well informed at the seminar. He explained to me the types of surgeries avaiable and why he thought the sleeve might be my best option. Dr. T was very optimistic that I could reach 100% weight loss. On the day of surgery I was upset about time mix-ups with hospital and he came it to speak with me about that as well as the upcoming surgery. After surgery I saw him in the hospital as well. His office staff is very professional and courteous. I am two months out and have nothing negative to say.

I loved this Doctor. He showed in everything that he did tat he cares for his patients. Although he said no to my fruit smoothie he is an awesome surgeon.

JUST WONDERFUL

I first me Dr. T at the seminar that I attended and I thought to myself that he was very straight forward and honest about everything including his stat's. My PCP had told me that if there was anyone that she would choose to do RNY it would be him, which is why I chose him. I was completely impressed with his mannerism and how he really took time to explain everything. His practice is extremely busy, but what can you say because he is really fantastic. People seek him out to be their surgeon from all over the country. His office staff is really nice but they are very busy. Sometimes it takes a while to get a call back but they are super people. The after care is great! Each appointment he really takes the time to talk with you and answer every question. I had a complication that required a 2nd surgery and I must say that he was just as wonderful as he was with the 1st surgery. I was able to see him weekly after the 2nd procedure and he is really just an awesome person. He addressed everything with me prior to surgery and at his class. I knew going into this what the risks would be and I knew that I was in the best of hands. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate him a 10. Hands down, he is really a FABULOUS surgeon. His surgical competence is phenominal and his bedside manners are excellent!

Dr. Terracina looks cocky when you first see him. Boy, are looks misleading? He is genuinely nice and compassionate. He is also very knowledgeable about bariatric surgery. In his seminar he went through the possible risks/complications of surgery and post-op, showed both options for surgery, discussed his personal stats and answered every single question asked, even the repeats. I only had two complaints: after reviewing our charts he made a decision about surgery candidacy the nurse called you and then that was that and no explanation of the aftercare program. Unless I needed to talk to the doctor, no appointment necessary until my pre-op appointment. Kind of drive-thru medicine, I thought. You pay a lot of money for the aftercare program and no one explains what you are supposed to do. You get an itinerary and a packet of pages what I am supposed to do with that. Don't try calling either, its either busy or I left a message.
Pre-op appointment went well, I didn't feel rushed through the appointment and he answered all my questions and made sure I had my protein figured out for post-op. Day of the surgery, he came in to see me and meet my parents and husband. He went to talk to them extensively after my surgery. He and his P.A. Dewey had excellent bedside manner and both were surgically confident. He was looking up new words on-line in the OR while they were prepping me. I took that as a sign that he was relaxed and confident. While the few negatives above were minor and are exclusive to my experience, I would give Dr. Terracina and excellent rating and if possible ask him to do any further operations I may need.

Anthony Terracian was the best!!! My husband and I had WLS the same day. Terracian did both surgeries. He was Fantastic! I have nothing negative to say about him.
