Cynthia Paciulli Barbarits Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr. P was wonderful! In our initial consult she knew that I would be a challenge because of other abominal surgeries I have had. Regardless, she was ready for the challenge and was very sucessful! I woke up to the procedure I wanted in the manner I wanted. Sounds funny to read but because of many issues she had numerous case scenerios in place...think plan B...C..and D. Well planned out and thoroughly discussed prior to sugery.
Her approach was open and honest. The appts I have had with her were never rushed. She actively listened to my thoughts and concerns. And, when my husband joined me she willingly reviewed everything over again and showed him just as much attention as she did to me!
Their requirements for the program are obtainable but only if you are willing to take the responsibilty and own that process. With my research I found other programs didn't require as much pre sugery tasks but theirs is set up to help YOU take the wheel and start the changes and behaviors that in the end makes you more likely to succeed. The program from beginning to end is not focused on just " getting another pt done" but focused on helping each pt be successful!
The ancillary staff used from the first infomational meeting all the way to the hospital stay and beyond are wonderful. Calls are returned. Questions answered. Encouragement offered. The program is set up so that you are supported from the beginning informational meeting to well after your surgery. I felt the entire team is on the same page and are working towards the same goal that you have..Having YOU becoming a WLS sucess story!

Dr. Paciulli is the best surgeon out there. She is kind, caring, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. Her bedside manner is top of the line. She expects high level of care for her patients from the operating room to discharge from the hospital. I had surgery with her 5 weeks ago and it was the best decision of my life. The day I laid on the OR table, I trusted her 100% with my life. She is an amazing surgeon and I would highly recommend her to anyone! :)

Pre Op: Dr Paciulli's schedule is full but her office staff put me on a waitlist in case someone else cancelled, and 2x has actually phoned and moved me up to an earlier appointment! I have a hunch that the seemingly curt atmosphere is professionalism rather than anything else.

I met her at one of the information nights, and I knew right then I wanted her to be my surgeon. She explained everything clearly. The thing I liked about her the most is, she genuinely cares!! She understands what the surgery can do for people who have been struggling. rnThe program at Portsmouth Hospital is great. They have plenty of meetings and support groups. rnrnDr. Paciulli is a wonderfull person!!

Dr. Paciulli is wonderful. I would highly recommend her. She takes time to listen and answer your question. She did a wonderful job with the surgery and my incisions are healing nicely.rnShe takes time with you in post op appointments as well.
