DR. M. MAHER SUEDE earned his medical degree from Damascus University School of Medicine in Syria. He interned at Monmouth Medical Center and did his residency in general surgery at New York Methodist Hospital. He completed a fellowship in surgical critical care at Hartford Hospital. Surgery appeals to him because it offers “instant gratification” in acute situations. “You intervene very quickly. Patients get better, even in a few hours. You help patients and see the results immediately.” He adds, “Surgery is a privilege. It’s the only profession where you get permission from patients to do what you need to do without them watching. They put their trust in you completely. They put their life in your hands. It’s a big responsibility.”
Dr. Suede is highly skilled in performing intricate thyroid and parathyroid surgery, minimally invasive gallbladder surgery and minimally invasive hernia surgery, including procedures to correct complicated abdominal wall hernias and acid reflux. He also uses state-of-the-art office-based treatment for varicose veins.
Dr. Suede has earned an excellent reputation for compassionate, expedited care for patients, especially women referred to him with breast tumors or masses. He tries to see them within 24 to 48 hours, especially if they are very anxious and concerned about their condition. At the time of the consultation he performs an ultrasound-guided biopsy using a fine needle and local anesthetic in a painless, well-tolerated manner. He gets biopsy results within 24 hours so patients have less time to worry, and can get treatment as soon as possible. He performs breast- conserving surgery and utilizes partial breast radiation for the treatment of breast cancer.
He is the chairman of the Department of Surgery at Eastern Connecticut Health Network and a member of the Breast Care Collaborative program there.

I'm glad to see no. 7 is Dr Cohen. In my opinion he's no 1 but I have no way of judging the top 6. He operated on me in 2001 because I was high risk of getting colon cancer it was felt. I'm still here 11 years later doc! I'm fine w/respect to the surgery but do have an issue with a lumbar bone out of place and am dealing w/that now. Things are much better since I had the two Epidural shots. I get the third tommorow. You go Dr. Cohen!

Dr. Gary Price has gone above and beyond his call of duty . I have had several procedures done by him and wouldn't think of going to anyone else. He has done a complete face lift on me. Several laser treatments and a couple of touch up mini lifts. I'm considering having liposuction by him. If anyone out there is considering cosmetic work done you should definitely have a consultation with Gary Price.
A grateful and satisfied patient

Dr Gerstenhaber is the BEST Pulmonary
Doctor in the New Haven area. He is extremely smart and knows more than his specialty.
He is kind and compassionate and has a wonderful way of appropriately infusing humor into what can be
a tense situation...
I commend him for his tremendous work ethic and feel so grateful that he cared for each of my parents and now myself.
I can only say thank you for always being so available to us.

Dr. Neil Floch and the staff of Fairfield County Bariatrics have afforded me a second chance for a more active and healthier life. In June of 2011 at 68 yrs old Dr. Neil performed RNY Gastric Bypass at Norwalk Hospital and as of 10 mos post op I have lost 102 lbs and gain a second chance to enjoy life more fully. I left the hospital completely offm of the three type 2 diabetes meds I had been on for 12+ years. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Floch and Fairfield County Bariatrics and fully endorse the excellent level of care that I experienced both pre and post op and would urge anyone considering wls to them.
