"Dr. Gadaleta was referred to me by a good friend of mine. When I went for my consultation in February, 2008, I first met with Yvonne, one of the office's bariatric coordinator. She was great. We went over the whole procedure, what's expected before and what's expected after the surgery. She gave me \"the list\" of all of my required pre-op exams and referrals to the most wonderful people. I then met with Dr. Gadaleta. He is very pleasant and professional. He tells you like it is and doesn't sugar coat anything. He discussed the importance of follow-up with him. He also said I would be a good candidate for gastric banding. I didn't meet him again until a couple of weeks before surgery. He was a little warmer but again very professional. While I was waiting on the operating table, he came in and said hi. He told me what was going to happen and the next thing I knew I was finished. His follow-up with me was excellent. His associates continually came in to check up on me. My family said he was very nice to them when he told them i was fine. He saw me the morning I left and was much warmer. One of his nurse practitioners met with me to go over all of my discharge instructions. I even got a phone call the day after I was released from the hospital checking up on me. Overall, I am so glad I chose Dr. Gadaleta. His surgical skills were great. He and his staff made a very scary and difficult journey so much easier. Yvonne is #1. We kept in touch through the 8 months of preparation. She was always there for me and never sounded annoyed at my constant questions and concerns. Everyone in the office is so nice and helpful too. I highly recommend Dr. Gadaleta to anyone considering surgery. "
