New York Bariatrics & Laparoscopy P.C. Bariatric Center

Very Nice and very informative...

Same as when first met him, all business...

Peggy, Allison, Danielle, Wonderful, I couldn't have done it without them. PA Amy my savior right now, Amy is great too...Gabe is unbelievable and definately a Life Saver..

Least, jumps to conclusions right off...

He is a great Doctor and is great at what he does... They should know that...

Aftercare is a great big part of this..

Yes he has structured program..

He addresses all the issues...

He is a wonderful surgeon...

He is extremely competent, bedside could be a little better, but don't really care about bedside...His surgery skills are the most important and he IS the Best of the Best...

My first impression of Dr. Vohra was of a quiet, intense doctor. I was definitely correct with that impression. He and his staff were extremely professional and thorough with all of my testing and appointments. The day of my procedure, they made me feel very comfortable, as if my friends were all there helping me out.
His aftercare program is in place and the entire staff is available for questions, concerns, etc. The monthly support meetings are not only supportive, but very informative, with recipes, handouts and guest speakers.
Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Vohra to all who are contemplating this surgery. You will be in very good, capable hands!

My first impression of Dr. Vohra is that he is confident is his abilities. My impression only got better over time. He is also very caring as well. His staff is the best, especially Amy and Allison. At first I thought he was a bit cold but with time I realize that he is a very warm and friendly man. Future patients should know that if they go with Dr. Vohra, they will be in the best hands. After care seems to be the most important thing besides the surgery. He and his staff wants people to attend the meetings and he also wants to make sure that his patients don't cheat after surgery. Things like optifast seems like a nuisance but it's a necessary evil cause it helps the patient get in the mind frame of loosing weight before they go under the knife. The risk of surgery was address to the fullest. I was even given a mini test/questionaire to see what I understood about the decision I made. I would rate Dr. Vohra and his staff a solid 9. His Surgical competence is his most attractive feature.

Dr. Vohra is a very quiet reserved man...but is the best surgeon out there in NY.....I came thru with flying colors and am doing great.......big thanks to Dr. Vohra and his staff for everything they did for me

My first impression of Dr. Vohra was online when I went to check out doctors who specialize in Bariatric surgery. My second was at one his seminars at the hospital that everyone must take before making an appointment. He was quiet and probably not the best speaker however that is not why I am going to him. I would rather have him be silent and competent rather than all talk. My impression since he has become my surgeon of choice is confident. His office staff are wonderful and run the gammet of being soley professional to animated. I like them, some people I've met don't it's all individual. Personally, I clam up when it comes to doctors and I would like it if the doctor would anticipate standard questions a patient would ask and go over those automatically for those of us whose brain goes silent on office visits. The office does have an immediate structured aftercare program. What he might lack vocally his staff more than makes up for it. At this moment, before surgery, I would rate him very well. I'm not sure of his bedside manner yet, but his office manner was nice and supportive.

I found Dr Vohra to be very professional and understanding without passing Judgements. The staff has been very supportive and AMY was at the hospital the day of surgery with my very own "bari-bear" The Dr..well, I can say he is THOUROUGH!!! and THAT is the most important thing. After all we are all higher risk of complications secondary to weight and he makes sure we are at our best poosible pre op state before he will operate. When I went into the OR Dr. Vohra was right there saying hello with a big smile on his face. That definatly helps the state of mind going into surgery. I felt much more relaxed. After my surgery I had some soreness in my calf and Dr. Nishimura sent me for a Doppler to rule out a clot. Neither of us thought I had one but as he says... better safe than sorry. As we thought NO CLOT!!!!

I went to Dr. Vohra's office and was very impressed with his staff. Everyone was interested in me, the staff helped me to understand the surgery and all the tests I had to take. I met Dr. Vohra 2 days later and I couldnt believe how interested he was in how I felt, what precedure I was having, If I understood everything that will be happening. At first I was like I have to take all these tests, but am now so glad to see how professional and concerned about my overall health he is. He is not just like some of the other doctors I have heard about-get them in get them out. From what I understand so far from Dr. Vohra and his staff is we are going to be with each other for a very long time and I for one find comfort in the tought that they are that concerned with me and my future.

My first impression of Dr. Vohra was a good one. He was cool and confident about what he does and that made me feel good from the start.His office staff was incredible. They were nice and helpful throughout the whole process. Amy Noe who is the program director and Dr. Vohra's right hand was also incredible. That woman knows how to get things done. Anybody who goes to Dr. Vohra is in the right hands. He dosen't just operate on anybody, you have to go through extensive testing before you can even get a surgury date. He will not touch you if he feels theres a lot of risk involved. After my surgury I had a lot of problems, I developed a major infection about one month after surgury and Dr. Vohra and his staff were up in my room almost everyday to see how i was doing. His bedside manner was very good, but he told you the truth when you needed to hear it. On a scale of 1-10 he is definitly a 10.

I DID NOT HAVE MY SURGERY YET...GOING THRU THE NECESSARY STEPS...WILL REPORT BACK LATER.

I am 20 years old, and I have to say, this surgery was the best thing for me. Dr. Vohra is not as outgoing as I would like, but his skills are amazing. I would rather him not speak to me at all and do his job well, then to be outgoing and not give it 150%. His office... well what can I say about his office. They are the most unorganized staff of people I have ever met in my life. I have walked into the office and they had no idea why I was there. They lost my chart a few times, and even rescheduled an appointment for me when no one was in the office (that was a fun drive home). But needless to say, the P.A.'s (physician's assistants)and the dieticians were amazing. They were always there to help me with any questions that I had. The office hours were not as open as I would of liked, I needed to take a lot of time off from school and work to make appointments. And when I got to the office, I usually had to wait for an hour or so before I was taken in. After complaining to Dr. Vohra about the activities in the office, I was usually taken in very quickly after that. I would recommend Dr. Vohra without a doubt, my only advice is to be prepared for the office, have patience!
