This is the WORST experience I have EVER had with a doctor and his incompetent office staff. We booked an appointment 8 days ago, and got a zocdoc reminder, but when we got to the office they had no record of us!! Plus, they told us that the doctor did not accept our insurance at this office; if we wanted to go 30 miles away they would!! I am thoroughly disgusted by this behavior. STAY AWAY!!

The staff at New York Bariatric Group was very helpful and friendly. My doctor Chiao was very informative and took his time to explain and listen to my feelings and fears. I felt I made the correct choice and felt prepared for the challenge and adventure ahead of me. I have people to help me along my journey to a healthier new me, when that day comes!

Highly recommend Dr Chiao and his staff at NYBG. I had an issue with one of my incisions a weak after surgery and samar! RN and Jackie, PA got me right in to take a look at it. Samari did everything she could over the phone and via email to help me and then recommended I come in to see a PA. Jackie was fabulous and made me feel very comfortable. If youre considering bariatric surgery Dr. Chaio is the best! I know several people who have been under his care and love him too. 5 stars.
