Testimonials

Dr. Russo and staff are amazing! I was referred by my primary Dr. and its been a life changing experience its been 14 months (had the gastric sleeve) I lost 173 lbs! From 325 lbs im currently at 152 lbs!
I researched my surgeon and Dr. Russo topped the list. He is blessed with good hands. I am six months out, have lost 52 pounds* and life is wonderful.
I would recommend Dr. Russo to anyone who would like to get their procedure done. He is willing to spend as much time as you need to cover any questions you may have or even to give you the answers to questions you didn’t think to ask.
Dr. Mir Ali and Dr. Diane Lemont changed my life. I am forever grateful. God bless each of you. I am alive again smile :)
I started out at 355lbs* I lost the 75% that I want to maybe a little more I’ve never regretted oneday having a surgery. I feel it was the best thing I ever did. Now I can play with mygrandbabies instead of just sitting back and watching!
He is a brilliant physician. His bedside manner was always comforting. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer my family and friends as I know they would be as pleased as I was. I’d also like to thank his PA, Ashley, for holding my hand as I went into surgery :) Thanks for a new beginning!
The Group is ‘Top Notch’ and highly professional, no complaints, 100% happy! If you’re really interested in the Gastric Bypass procedure I will be than happy to fill you in on what I went through Pre and Post surgery and how it is now living with it.
Dr. Ali and his PAs where in communication with each other every day the saw me at the hospital answered all my questions and concerned and send me home when I felt comfortable to leave. I even saw a nutritionist to see if I had any questions. If you are planning on having surgery I recommended Dr Ali.
