I write A-OK a bit ignorantly. You see, when I went in to see this doc many years ago I was REALLY FAT! I'm guessing THAT is likely the reason people come see him from elsewhere --- as I understand it, he's the one doing all the stomach stapling! He offered to do me... if I could gain just eight more pounds. UGGGHHHHH!!! Really? So, I came home and lost weight. Having said that, he seemed ubber-professional, and quite nice. He did another procedure on me one time (a scope) and I was pleased as anyone could be having a tube shoved down my gullet. :) Truthfully, he did make the experience less miserable than I anticipated it was going to be, and for that I'm thankful. Had another occasion to watch him deal with a hospitalized friend, and will say I was impressed by his professional personal presentation, as well as attentive bedside manner. If I ever get fat enough to decide I want my stomach all rearranged... he'd likely be the one I'd contact. But... not going to hold my breath. Or, maybe I will, to keep from over-eating! Guess I just find it kinda sad a doc gets so popular on such a "niche". Some folks I've known genuinely needed to have this stomach procedure, and I'm glad there's a doc who knows how to get it done successfully. As for all the others I know who've chosen the surgical route to rapid weight loss... I think it's a very bad idea. read more

I think Dr Tersigni is a very good surgeon. I have had a stomach sleeve done , I lost almost 100 pounds .I paid for the surgery myself ,it was one of the best uses of money I have spent in my life . It is hard to learn to love yourself , some people have to work at it at different levels . They offer wonderful support groups for weight loss , diets , exercise etc. It is the second Tuesday of each month at NBM .The group is free to anyone interested for many different reasons . I have had to have some other surgeries for medical reasons . I was most thankful to have him as the surgeon . I admire him because he is straight forward and very professional .He will work hard for you but expects you to work hard for yourself . His office staff is helpful ,understanding and always willing to offer advise. I would not hesitate to call Dr Tersigni office for anything if they can not help you they will direct you to who can . Thanks Dr T read more
