Question:
Can someone recommend a great doctor in the Central/Northern NJ area??????

I am considering surgery and I am quite unsure as to what doctor is best in his field. All comments appreciated, good or bad. If there is a doctor I should stay away from, please tell me. Thanks alot!!!    — Nicole M. (posted on August 29, 2000)

Hi, I am having surgery with Dr. Goodman on September 8, 2000. Check hime out. I think he is really dedicated. He is not in the Oxford plan but he does work with you on the front. Good luck & let us know who you go with.

I also used Dr. Goodman for my wls. I too have Oxford. He was a man of his word and accepted Oxford as his payment. I did however pay him $200 because I felt it was a steal, considering all the money I had spent over the years to lose weight. I can understand your wanting to check out other doctors, closer to home, but one thing I know, everyone seems to love their own doctor. I can say this to you, before I deceided to use Dr. Goodman, I called everyone of his former patients, and was very surprised to see people coming from NJ, Conn, Pennsylvania, and even farther. My advice to you look for the best mechanic you can find. No matter how far. My vote is for Dr. Goodman. Good Luck to you. and email me anytime if you have any other questions, or to just gab.

If you would like it done lap, Dr. Gagner in Manhatten does both the RNY and BPD/DS. Excellent surgeon. I'm from Southern NJ and he was well worth the trip!

I had my surgery done on 03/06/00 by Dr Raphael Capella whi is in Ramsey, NJ. I chose him because of his experience not only as a medical doctor but as an obesity specialist as well. I would highly recommend him. He's honest, trustworthy, and compassionate. He truly cares about his patients, not his bottom line. If you would would like to know more about him, he has his own website which is: Http://www.CapellaSurgery.com If you like to correspond with me directly, you can reach me at [email protected] Paula :)
