My surgeon was FANTASTIC! We originally found him when his partner had too long of a waiting list. He was new to the practice of Dr, Nusaum (I guess about 1 yr) so his list was only a few months wait. We figured Dr Nusbaum would never have brought someone on who was sub-standard - so I gave it a shot and had the consult with Dr. Bilof. My first impression of him was kind, gentle and very informed. He has good reviews from everyone I encountered who knew him (nurses at my endoscopy, etc). He answered every question that my husband and I had and we were not rushed at all. The day of surgery he spoke to me before to make sure I was ok and also in the OR to confirm I was comfortable, etc. The procedure (LAP RNY) went off without a hitch. He visited me twice in the hospital and took his time for any questions, concern that I or my husband might have had post-op. HE even went out of his way to let us know of a Pharmacy on our way home that carried the meds he was subscribing - they can be hard to get....WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!
His staff was terrific getting my paperwork, insurance and disability, etc through. I felt like I called 100 times in a few months and they were ALWAYS polite!
The aftercare is very structured and the support team at St Barnabas (livingston, NJ) is AWESOME!.
I would recommend him to EVERYONE!
Immediately upon meetin Dr. Bilof he put me at ease. No question I asked was treated as unimportant. He was willing to answer all of me question and explain each step of the process very well. I now look forward to our next interaction because that initial concern over an uneasy feeling in now gone. At this point in time I have nothing negative to say about Dr. Bilof or his staff. But remember I have only had one formal meeting with Dr. Bilof.
