Eric J. DeMaria
"11/27/01 - I should have added this sooner, but I want to give credit where credit is due. My surgeon worked with a wonderful doctor who was doing his fellowship (under my surgeon) by the name of Dr. Shanu Kothari. Dr. Kothari has since moved to LaCrosse, Wisconsin and is now performing bariatric surgery there. He is incredibly friendly, and ladies, he's a DREAM to look at. After speaking with him about my surgery and reading what I could find about him on the internet, I wouldn't hesitate referring ANYONE to him. Like Dr. Demaria, I can't say enough about Dr. Kothari. 8/1 - I've forgotten to update this part, but really, nothing has changed. I'm still convinced that Dr. DeMaria walks on water and that anyone in Virginia, or anywhere CLOSE to Virginia for that matter, should consider him. He's a gifted surgeon and a wonderful man. 3/6/00 - Met my surgeon, Dr. Eric DeMaria of MCV in Richmond,VA for the first time. It took almost 2 months since I called for the consultation appointment to actually see him, but like they say, good things come to those who wait! Dr. DeMaria is very compassionate and has a long list of wonderful credentials, to boot. He specializes in laparoscopic surgery, so I'll be having a Lap RNY. He was very reassuring with my situation as far as my insurance coverage is concerned, stating that they generally get approval within 2 weeks and that they tend to look at the long term benefits of WLS. (I have Trigon BC/BS-KeyCare). Dr. DeMaria has an extremely busy office, but his staff was VERY nice, despite the rush. The program at MCV stresses aftercare and has a support group which meets once a month. I'll update once I get an "official" date, but as of right now I'm thrilled to have Dr. DeMaria as a surgeon. "
