I had been having trouble with GERD for several years. I felt like I wasn’t being heard so I started searching for a new doctor. I was looking for a doctor who was familiar with the sleeve surgery and GERD. I found several doctors that were qualified but I was very impressed with Dr. Darido. His credentials spoke for themselves but what really sold me were the reviews from actual patients.
His office was so easy to work with. They did all the work with insurance. Dr. Darido was very straightforward and explained everything so I could understand. We had lots of questions and he was very patient to answer all of them.
After the surgery he gave me his number in case I had any questions. I was pleasantly surprised when he returned my text and then actually called me himself.
In this day and age it is very hard to actually get to speak with the doctor. Dr. Darido went above and beyond.
Dr. Darido is very skilled and I highly recommend him.
I am so thankful for Dr. Darido and his staff.

Dr Darido and his staff were very attentive understanding and helpful throughout the whole process of my sleeve surgery from the initial consultation through the short hospital stay. I could see dr Darido was very confident and happy with his work and proved it with my surgery. I have nothing but good things to say about the whole process and his staff, as well as the hospital staff which were really friendly, down to earth, and attentive during my stay.

I recommend Dr. Darido for the weight loss surgery and if you need hernia repair surgery. I had both procedures and I was very comfortable going into surgery and I haven’t had one complication. 😊❤️👍🏾

I had the gastric sleeve with Dr. Darido and I definitely recommend him if you are thinking about getting VSG. Dr. Darido and his team have been really nice and helpful throughout the process! I had the surgery 2 weeks ago and am already down 22 pounds and I haven’t had any complications or heart burn, which was a major concern for me. The nutritionist has been amazing as well and even gave me recipes for post-op dishes that I can make/eat during the holiday season. I am happy I made the choice to go with Dr. Darido and his team.

Dr Darido performed gastric sleeve and hiatal hernia surgery for me. Can not say enough how impressed I was at how it all went. Guy is a true professional. I have experienced 0 heartburn, losing weight, and already coming off my blood pressure medicine since the procedure. From the first visit till the end, him and his entire staff have been super nice and easy to work with. 100% would recommend if you are considering any of these procedures.

I first went to see Dr Darido about chronic heartburn and acid reflux. After some consultation and an endoscopy, it was revealed I had a hiatal hernia and it was exaggerated by being over weight. Dr. Darido helped me get on to an affordable program to repair the hernia and a gastric sleeve. 4 months later, I am now down 40 pounds! I have always struggled with loosing weight and suffered through diets. Now I feel like I am just eating naturally and loosing weight. I have not experienced any post-op issues and I am feeling 10 years younger.

I love Dr. Darido and his staff. I had my hiatal hernia repaired and had gastric sleeve on 12/26. Dr. Darido's staff made the whole process easy and they worked hard to squeeze me in before end of the year. Dr. Darido is personable and knowledgeable. I always felt comfortable under his care. I highly recommend!

I have the greatest amount of respect for Dr. Darido and I am so grateful that he took me on as a patient.
I live approximately 540 miles away from his office and the drive is well worth every mile to me.
He has great bed-side manners, funny and very, very caring. All of my questions and concerns are important to him. Nothing goes unanswered. His door is always open if I should need him.

I had previously had a Nissen Fundoplication surgery years ago for severe GERD, but I kept having bloating, belching and sadly, lots of weight gain; therefore I decided to have the sleeve surgery, I was so miserable and unhappy.
I recently had my surgery and Dr. Darido came across a large hiatal hernia. I think he got more with me than he expected. Dr. Darido has given me a second chance of becoming a healthier person.

I want to give a kind word about his office staff..........they are fabulous !! The scheduling coordinator is awesome. She takes care of everything. She dots your I's and crosses your T's, she doesn't miss a thing !
I'm not worried about anything when it comes to his office.

Also, the First Street Hospital staff was very caring, helpful and pleasant.

Overall, I just can't speak highly enough about Dr. Darido.

For the past few years I have experienced severe acid reflux and heartburn. Several doctors later, after removal of my gall bladder and other unnecessary procedures, I was referred to Dr. Elias Darido. Within just a few minutes of sitting with me and reviewing my medical history, he scheduled an endoscopy to confirm his diagnosis. Needless to say, a month later, I am EXTREMELY pleased with the results of my hernia removal/repair surgery. Dr. Darido is extremely personable, professional and listens to you, as a patient. His staff is friendly, handles all the insurance paperwork and is timely on returning calls and email communication. You always know exactly where you stand. Thank you Dr. Darido for returning me to my healthy life! I truly appreciate it!!!

This was truly a life changing Surgery. Dr. Darido is definitely an artist. The staff was very helpful and informative my experience was 5 stars all the way!!
I have already recommended him to two of my friends., if you want to be healthy kick diabetes in the butt and live longer a gastric sleeve is the way to go!!!

With Sincerest Regards

I had the best experience with Dr. Darido and his staff! They all made everything so simple for me. The nurse, the scheduler and all the staff at the hospital were excellent! Dr. Darido really cares about his patients and he showed it. He explained everything very thoroughly to my wife and I. I couldn't have asked for a better Doctor!

I had an awesome experience with Dr. Darido and his staff. I had gastric sleeve surgery 4 months ago and I love it! I have already lost 37 lbs. What I like best about his practice is that I was always able to see him when I had an appointment. Unlike other practices, you don't have to see weight loss counselors, you actually see the physician. Dr. Darido is very patient and gives you as much time as you need during your appointment. The hospital where I had my procedure was fantastic as well. Definitely recommend Dr. Darido!
