my whole experience was terrible. on the day of my appt he had me and another patient sitting in this waiting room for over a half hour while he held a non business conversation with another staff member and only because i made a fuss did their conversation end. when i finally met with him he was the same as at the seminar. he talked alot about himself and then gave me 5 mins. when my insurance turned me down he had an option to call and discuss my situation and did not call and make an effort to overturn the insurances decision. i had a woman call from the office and did not know anything about me or my BMI. i had to correct her on everything. she verified he did not call and could not give me a reason why. he does not care about his patients obviously and just want the easy money

I recently had Dr. Rovito for my Gastric Sleeve Surgery. He came highly recommended to me. Having Dr. Rovito perform my surgery was the best thing I ever did. I had searched different programs and different surgeons for a couple of years and did not feel comfortable with any of them. When I met Dr. Rovito for the first time I was immediately comfortable with him and his reputation so I decided to go ahead with my surgery. I would definitely recommend him to everyone I know. I think he is absolutely the best surgeon and I'm glad I searched around until I found him. I couldn't have made a better choice.

I love Pete. He will do you good at bariatric surgery. Just don't rely on him to stand up to other physicians if you have cancer. Sorry. This is the truth of my experience.

Dr. Rovito saved my life. If it wasn't for him in time of an emergency I would not be here today.
