Arif Ahmad Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS, FRCS

Had Gastric By-Pass Surgery on Sept. 14, 2011 and it has been the best decision I've made. Dr Ahmad's team of care providers are the best at what they do, from the Doctors, Nurses, Nursing Aids at John T. Mather Hospital including everyone in the Office. I what to give my THANKS to each and eveyone of them for helping me and my family overcome a health issue I could hurrdle over without each and everybody help here.....THANK YOU!!!!!

I had gastric bypass surgery on Sept 14, 2011 and it was the best thing I have ever done. Dr. Ahmad and staff are the best and the care I recieved before during and after has been 1st class. I would highly recommend Dr. Ahmad & Staff. I am so excited to be on my new Journey!!

Excellent Surgeon and staff. Procedure was done at Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson, NY.

After attending Doctor Arif Ahmad's Weight Loss Seminar I knew I wanted him to be the surgeon for my gastric bypass surgery. He is a very caring and compassionate person. He answered all my questions and I felt completely safe and confident with him. His office staff are friendly and professional some of them are his paients! :) His Wife also works in the office and answered many of my questions which made me feel more confident with my decision to have WLS. Doctor Ashish Agarwala is wonderful aswell. I would defenitly recomend anyone seeking WLS to attend Doctor Ahmad's weight loss seminar.

Dr. Ahmad and his team were fabulous. I have already lost 50lbs! I couldn't have asked for a better support team. Thank you for helping me get my life back on track

Dr. Ahmad appears to have your best interest at heart when pursuing the life changing surgery. However, unless you are going to continue in his care long term, you may be left in the dust in the after care process. Its like buying a new car, once the sale is made and you drive it off the lot, you are no longer given that special attention. Dare to say anything negative in support meetings and you might be banned from meetings and told you are no longer a patient as was done in my experience.

Was 100 lbs overweight, bad back, lots of pain. Dr.Ahmad is the best, changed my life.

I have had a poor self image about myself all my life. Because of this I have always percieved myself looking heavier than I am. This led to larger weight gain. I trusted Dr.Ahmad from his first smile. I checked his credentials and feedback. The seminar sealed the deal. After care on top- it left no time for doubts.

I had the lap band procedure. I am one week post op. I have been struggling with weight issues ever since my first child was born. Dr.Ahmad is very kind and educates his patients. I have full trust in his health practices.

For 20 years I've tried many different diet and exercise changes/programs to little or no success. Nine years ago I looked into Gatric Bypass surgery, 7 months ago I decided to go forward. Surgeon was very thorough, individualized my program, surgery and recovery to fit my needs, ensured that I knew all possibilities before surgery. Open to all support groups- information part-great; Bypass portion overtaken by two patients= makes it uneasy yo share/ask questions.
