Luciano A. DiMarco Bariatric Surgeon D.O., F.A.C.O.S.

I had Dr. DiMarco who did sleeves bypass surgery on me, He's a wonderful surgeon who was there for me to make sure that I was okay beacause I was supposed to have it done on April 22nd however my blood pressure piked unexpected and admitted me into the hosp until my blood pressure was under control so he came and checked on me few times until the 24th I was so ready to have it done. He is wonderful and blessful guy who shows very care and knows what he is doing. I would recommend him to anyone as you would get a postive feelings from him. :)

My first impression of him was he seemed like he wanted to get the appt. over with as soon as possible.

The staff are unfriendly most of the time-for the money these people get they should be happy to have a job.

Future patients should know Dr. DiMarco and Dr. Lawrence Wieger dismiss LAP-BAND patients and they have to go to another state. Noone in the state of Pa will take them. Especially not Hershey Medical Center. Think twice before you spend the money to go to this Clinic.

Aftercare: Lap-band adjustments are expensive and they do not hesitate to terminate service if you don't lose adequate weight, disagree with what they are saying or anything else that might upset their DELICATE egos.

I suggest going to the Hershey Medical Center, these people have cost me $1,000's on trips out of state for my care. They have no compassion or they would not have dismissed me.

My husband and I liked Dr. DeMarco from the first time we saw him. I would recommend hime to anyone. I had alot of faith in him and felt safe when I went to have the surgery. He is pleasant and caring. He takes his time when you have your visits and doesn't rush you. The only thing is he is always late for his appointments. The day of my surgery he was two hours late. I still really liked him and would recommend him to do surgery.

I LOVE DR. DIMARCO! He takes his time with you and makes sure you know exactly what is going to happen before/during/after the surgery. I felt so safe in his hands. I highly recommend him! I have not had any complications from my surgery. Dr. DiMarco does tend to run late for his appointments, but that is just because he is a busy doctor and is patient with his patients! If you have any questions about him, just ask me. He changed my life. :)

I am just starting the process. But so far everyone seems super helpful. I will add more as I can.

Dr. DiMarco came highly recommended by a friend who had RNY. He has lived up to every expectation. His staff is always friendly (sometimes a little hard to get through on the phone, but that is the only negative thing I can say) Dr. DiMarco made me feel so comfortable before surgery. His surgical competence and bedside manner are wonderful! I was a little unhappy with pain control after surgery. But may have been my fault since I only discussed it with the resident and not the Dr. or Anesthesiologist. But I made it! A little pain is so worth the gain of a leaner body!

Dr. DiMarco is sweet with a great bedside manner. While my contact with him was limited, he did what he could to make me feel comfortable and at ease. I felt safe in his capable hands and my surgery went over without a hitch. He does oncology surgery as well and looks at weight loss surgery as the upside to his job. He seems just as invested in his patients' weight loss as they are.

The Weight Loss CenterrnEveryone there has been Great. I am looking forward to having my surgey. I had Dr. DiMarco assist in a back surgery of mine in 1999 and was fantasic. He will be my surgeon for my Lap Band surgey. (12/15/2008) I just saw Dr. DiMarco, he is fantastic. He answered everything for me. He took his time and assured me that if I followed the rules, I would do Great... I recomend him Highly for anyone in the Harrisburg, Pa. area...

10-23-08 Update: As it turns out on the below, it did not work out with Dr. Byrant and I finally had my surgery Jan 2 2004 with Dr. DiMarco in Harrisburg, PA and it turned out great. I had not complications. I lost over 125 lbs but have since gained back 25lbs and am working on losing it. I am doing a program with Barbara Thompson called Back on Tract. I am also reading a book by Judith Beck on a Cognitive Behavioral approach to weight issues.rnrnrnJuly 3, 2002 I had my 1st appt with Dr. Bryant. I had heard he was young thus I was expecting someone in his twenties but he appears to be my age (30's). He had a wonderful demeanor that put me at ease. He has a sense of humor and was pleased with all the research I had done. That made me feel good. Mostly thanks to this site. The staff was pleasant. The nurse was new to his office and told me such. rnrnShe also informed me she was new to WLS so I told her about this site and a book by Barbara Thompson on WLS as references. Now I have to wait on insurance approval. My feelings are I want the surgeon to have skill, confidence, and handle self well under pressure. Once he does his technical part the rest is up to me. My impression is Dr Bryant is a skilled, caring surgeon.rnrnIt didn't work out with Dr. Bryant. I finally had my surgery, Lap RNY, with Dr. Dimarco of Harrisburg, PA on 1/15/04. It was a great experience. No complications, Praise God. In Hindsight I am grateful it didn't work out with Dr. Bryant. God knew what he was doing -- even if I couldn't see it.

Dr. Di Marco I thought was very nice and polite and answered all of my questions.He also came highly recommended by one of my other Dr.
