Question:
Is anyone familiar with The Obesity Clinic of Moorestown New Jersey

or Dr. Alexander Abkin? My sister is interested in contacting them but we are unable to find their phone number or address. Thanks    — Jeanne R. (posted on February 10, 2002)

Hi, I love Dr. Abkin!!! He is a great surgeon. I am an RN and have worked with many Dr's in my time. He is one of the best I know. I had a my first surgery Lap RYN by him and because a complication not related to his surgical skills I required an emergency revision. He was there with me the entire time. I originally chose the hospital and then decided on Dr. Abkin. I am very happy with my choice. If you want to read my profile it goes into much more depth about what happened. Even through all my trials and tribulations I would have this surgery again. I just had my 3 month post op check and I'm down 60#. Actually the reason you may be having problems finding him is because It is actually The Obesity Center of Morristown Memorial Hospital, not Moorestown. They are on opposite sides of the state. The # for the Center is (973)971-6606. My hospital stay was good and the nurses and aides were helpful for the most part. It was much better than I expected with the current nursing shortage. If your sister has any questions, she can email me at [email protected] I wish her alot of luck!!

You may be thinking of Morristown, NJ, not Moorestown...they are in separate parts of the state. I live right near Moorestown, in Burlington County and I've never heard of an Obesity Clinic. Maybe its in Morristown? Good luck to your sister.
