"Always ask for a really experienced person when getting an IV in or a blood draw. I had a few doctors-in-training practice on me and I was ready to punch them. I am a "hard stick" and some of them didn't get the blood after sticking me several times!!!"

"12-18-03 I just met with Dr. DeMaria and he is the sweetest man!!! I felt so comfortable with him. He didn't make me feel like a loser like some other doctors do. I honestly can't think of anything I didn't like about him. His office staff is the best. They are caring and sensitive. One reason I picked Dr. DeMaria is because he truly stresses aftercare and that shows me that he really cares about his patients. He went over all the risks of surgery and made sure I understood them. Dr. DeMaria seems to have both surgical competence and a great bedside manner, which is hard to find when dealing with obese patients! 8-30-04 Dr. DeMaria is the coolest surgeon! I am so glad I picked him. He was really dedicated to finishing the surgery lap so I would have a quicker recovery. He told me in the recovery room that it was a challenge, but he did it. I am thrilled with him and his fellows (understudies). Such awesome people! On a scale of 1-10 I give him a 12!!!"
