"I can't say enough about Dr. Ameri. I am 46 and was borderline excess weight for surgery. I have thyroid disease and a family full of diabetics. After years of struggling with weight and realizing I could do this now when I'm healthy or in a few years when I'm heavier and not so healthy I started looking into surgeons. A friend recommended I see Dr. Ameri and so highly recommended him that I called him. After meeting with him there was no turning back. That decision will never be one I regret making. He is a fantastic person and surgeon. He is very honest and tells you right up front what's what. You can count on what he says and believe every word. His demeanor and straight forward discussions gives you such a sense of trust. I had a retroperitoneal resection surgery back in 2007. This is a major open surgery that creates a lot of internal scar tissue. I brought my surgical reports to Dr. Ameri and he discussed them with me. He agreed that the sleeve was an option but due to the scar tissue the bipass was not. We decided to go forward. Not only did he do the sleeve but he took time to go above and beyond and remove a lot of excess scar tissue that was bunched up inside me. The previous surgeon closed with glue and steri strips which loosened causing a huge scar down my center. Dr. Ameri also fixed the scar so it was a small line instead of a huge ragged gash down my middle. He is amazing. I was so happy to see how my stomach looked coming out! He told my mother I was too young to have a stomach like that and now I'll have a nice flat stomach soon with minimal scarring. He's so right! Not many would take the time to do all that. After surgery I was brought to the bariatric wing (at Wincester Hospital). He had his own nurse there along with the other nurses. I can't even say enough about these ladies. They were caring, supportive and catered to your every need. They talked to you about everything you will be feeling and doing after you get out and went above and beyond caring for me. I felt safe and secure with them and knew they would help me if I was feeling too much pain. They have called to follow up and are all so nice to talk to. Dr. Ameri does not just cut and run either. He himself does a support group once a month along with his nurse, nutritionist and a therapist. It's a place to go and talk to others who have had the surgery or others considering surgery. You can talk about your successes and struggles and it's a great way to touch base with Dr. Ameri. He REALLY CARES about his patients. You are not just a number or a paycheck. His ongoing care shows you every day how much he cares and how much he wants you to SUCCEED. If you are thinking about any type of weight loss surgery I urge you to contact him and meet with him and his staff. You will not be disappointed!!!!"
