I had a gallbladder removal surgery with dr. ferzli a little over 2 years ago. I am still suffering in pain on my right side.I went to Robert wood Johnson hospital to see a gastro specialist and found out that after he read my cat scans before that surgery that my gallbladder wasn't the problem. He said the polyps were so small they should have left it alone and did further testing. It turns out I have IBS.So because it was left untreated for the last 2 years it has gotten worse. I would like to thank dr. ferzli for rushing to conclusions and making my health something worse than what it was. I will never recommend anybody to you.

I can't say enough about Dr. Ferzli and his staff. He was referred by Dr Aboujaoude (another excellent dr.) for my gallbladder. The consult was great from his office staff, nurse and Dr. Ferzli himself. A week prior to my scheduled surgery I was admitted to the hospital for 3 days for a gallbladder attack. Dr. Ferzli was in constant contact with me. He visited me in the hospital and answered whenever I called him. It's been a week since my surgery and I couldn't feel better. TY Dr. Ferzli

This guy is the best out there for laparoscopic. Research him. He's one of the first to introduce the method into surgery. Your very first visit he gives you his phone number, and insists you call him for ANYTHING. His team is great from the nurses to the nutritionists. Every doctor I speak to knows about him and his legacy. Dude is a surgical legend.
