The only surgeon that I have any knowledge of from that group is Fiaris Hamdi--AKA Fiaris Bridges, sorry.

If you have done your research --as in past complaints, any malpractice suits, past experience (don't be his first patient--MY personal opinion), fatality percentage, even community involvement, AND your gut feeling is comfortable with his competency then you have done all that you can do.

Your journey is cleared for take off!

I've heard good things about him and the coordinator of bariatric surgery when I went to a bariatric support group at St. Catherine's of Siena (Smithtown, I believe, in NY). Going to a support group was one of the pre-pre-op hoops I had to jump through.
