Dr. Mandelbaum was great to work with, he was very careful to make sure I did not have any questions at any point along the way that went unanswered. He and his associates were always quick to respond when I had anything concerning me while I was in the hospital. His office staff is wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking into bariatric surgery.
I changed surgeons from the St. Vincent Bariatric Center to this one due to the office staff. I still feel that Dr. Evanson is probably every bit as qualified as first stated but the office is very disorganized.
I am now seeing Dr. Mandelbaum and am very zealous about him. He is very qualified in lap surgeries with over 14 years of personal experience. He is very conservative in approach and reassures his patients that he will not attemt any procedure that he is not comfortable with.
I left my consultation feeling very confident that this change is for the better.
The office offers a full variety of services from an inhouse dietician to social workers that follow you closely throughout your journey and in-house support groups. They return calls quickly and never make you feel that they are to busy to talk to you.
My first impressions were very good. My impression of Dr. Jon didn't change at all. I was very impressed with EVERYTHING. I have absolutely no complaints about him at all. He was everything I expected and then some. He was very informative with myself and my husband--he explained everything.
My first impression of him was that he was an attractive, confident doctor. I was told, at the WLC that he was great to work with.
I've never had contact with his other office staff, but the gals at St Francis Medical & Surgical Weight Loss Center are fabulous!
The only disappointment in Dr. Jon was that he thought he'd do the open surgery on me.
He since certified with the Bariatric Board to do the laparoscopic surgery (which he's done for years as a regular surgeon)and was able to do it on me. So he IS sensative to your desires and would have done open, if it would have been the only safe way, but is also flexible.
The WLC has a terrific comprehensive program of proper medical preparation for surgery and aftercare.
Dr. Jon covered everything, and answered all questions asked during his initial presentation. He was very thorough.
Overall, I would rate him as excellent. He IS great to work with. His brother (Dr. David Mandelbaum) visited me Sat. and released me Sun., and he is every bit as competent and personable as Dr. Jon.
Dr. Mandelbaum and his staff are attentive to details. They are pleasant and answer questions appropriately. They return phone calls without delay.
