Fully informed before and after surgery by a caring involved Dr Zeni and his excellent staff. Questions were always promptly answered if I called and he took time to fully engage with me on follow up visits. Zero, I repeat Zero, complications as opposed to other acquaintances who had surgery else where. My recovery time was ahead of schedule and shorter than the same friends and family. It will be eight years in a few weeks and by remaining compliant with my instructions I am still within 10 pounds of my lowest weight post surgery. From 365 lbs down to a steady 179 to 185 lbs. I called recently at 4:45 pm with a couple questions and had a call back by 9:15 the following morning, Wow. My only regret is my insurance discontinued the follow up plastic surgery for excess tissue removal. I had plenty of assistance from Dr. Zeni's staff trying to correct this even though it really was not their issue. Clearly they valued my success physically, mentally and emotionally.

The staff and process is very professional. I was very impressed with how smoothly everything went. Also, I had to reschedule my surgery due to an illness and they were flexible and found a date that worked with my timeframe. I would recommend this surgeon to anyone.

I would highly recommend Dr. Zeni to anyone needing WLS. I had a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy in 2010. I don't regret a thing. He and his staff are awesome.

I absolutely love this office and the doctors. I am glad I drove over an hour to see Dr. Zeni, he has been great. You feel like a patient and not a dollar sign when you see him. So many other weight loss doctors made me feel like I was nothing more than money and this office and the experience with them was so different. I would recommend this office to anyone!
