dr garber came highly recommended , staff was very supportive..minor details in reference to great outcome, best decision in his life..

I had surgery in 2009, i had gastric bypass..I would definately recommend the surgery, i felt like this is my last resort but doctor Garber and his staff made me feel completely at ease, I now realize that this was the best thing that I could do for myself.If you have battled weight loss issues like me, there is nothing better that you can do for yourself that Bariatric surgery.Thanks to Dr Garber and his caring staff it has changed my life....I would definately recommend this to anyone.

Pt previously had a failed lapband, with a previous surgeon, and felt let down, found our website, and surgeons...made a consultation, blessed to have found her way here to our office nybg group. Patient feels like she got her life back, he offered me solutions and expert advice that other surgeons have not offered, he has been there with me 100%..his staff as well. Nancy feels very at ease with out staff as well, feels a great support team here in our office.

I am interested in finding out more about lapband and gastric bypass surgery, I have found the NYBG group through friends, and cant wait to start my journey.I have received great feedback from their group.

My first impression of Dr. Garber, is that he was very attentive and informative. He spent time to answer all my questions. His knowledge of all types of surgical procedures put my mind at ease and I knew that I finally found the brilliant doctor that I would use of my gastric bypasss on March 2005. I lost weight but never reached my goal, when I went back to Dr. Garber in 2010 he suggested a lap band procedure. I am almost 1 month post op and could not be happier with our combined decision. The office staff is overwhelming with warmth, courtsey and always willing to help with any situation or concerns that you may have. Although you may have to wait in his waiting room for your appointment cleary, this is an asset,speaking with other patients who are going thru what you have or your informing new patients of your experience.

Just want to update everyone and let them know I am still doing great thanks to Dr. Garber and his staff. I love Donna in the office. She spends lots of time with me. Dr. Garber was amazing. He was very thorough and spent a long time explaining all of the details about the surgery. He had seen two other surgeons in the area and he was the only one that performed the surgery laparoscopically. I had the gastric bypass laparoscopically with 5 tiny incisions and went home in fromthe hospital in 2 days and back to work in one week. I already lost 145 lbs in the first 9 months after surgery. His office staff was very king and courteous. He has a structured aftercare with nutritionist and support group. He has an excellent bedside manner and is always reachable. He is definitely the best bariatric surgeon on Long Island, I researched it thoroughly prior to my surgery and made a great decision. I have been reading that he has done lots of the endoscopic revision procedures like stomaphyx and ROSE and is on the forefronts of this new technology. This is my personal impression of Dr.Garber.

Dr. Garber's office gave me excellent service! The staff was helpful and they were very professional. I had the SILS band procedure (single incision laparoscopic surgery.) I absolutely LOVE my single incision!There is NO SCAR!!!!

I had surgery in 2002 with Dr. Garber. My impression of Dr Garber was great! His staff was professional and very helpful. They were always very nice on the phone as well! I am very excited about having my revision procedure with Dr. Garber.

The seminar was very informative. All my questions were answered. Nothing but positive things to say about the seminar. Consultation with Dr. Garber was informative and he answered all my questions.

Endoscopy in the office went very well! No pain and very easy! Love all the staff!

Dr. Garber is a doll. He really knows his stuff and is completely dedicated to his work and his patients. He has performed surgery on me three times. My lapband 9/10/07 then in May 08 he had to do a port replacement because I lost so much weight to a lower profile port and then in 2009 I developed gallbladder disease and since he is also a general surgeon he was able to perform the surgery. He took care of me immediately like I was one of his family. I know others who have pursued bariatric surgery elsewhere and were nnot nearly as happy as I was with their surgeon and post op care. I am so glad I chose Dr. Garber!
