"My first impression about Dr. Long was that she was very knowledgeable and experienced. Over time, in each meeting with Dr. Long that initial impression was confirmed. The office staff at Sinai Hospital’s Bariatric Clinic is professional, patient, and welcoming. I cannot think of one thing that I do not like about Dr. Long. When I initially went in I thought I would automatically get approved for the surgery just based off of my weight. Although I was qualified, Dr. Long did not operate on me until she was positive that I fully understood that weight loss surgery is not a temporary fix, but a lifestyle change. She immediately addressed all risks, questions, and concerns I had regarding the procedure. Once she felt comfortable that we were on the same page, we were able to schedule a date. She did not treat me like just another random surgery, I was treated as an individual and she was concerned about my health. During my stay at Sinai, Dr. Long made certain to check on me to ensure I was okay and being properly cared for. Since having the procedure there have been times that I felt like I was falling off track; Dr. Long and her staff have been very supportive in helping me pull myself back together. She has a great aftercare program that if followed will lead to great life lasting results. If there is anyone reading this who is considering having weight loss surgery, Dr. Long is an amazing surgeon. I would rate Dr. Long a 10 on everything and if given a chance to change my decision on having the surgery, I wouldn’t. Thank you Dr. Long for everything, it is because of you that I have my life back."
