Dr. Wasser is a life saver. At 42 years old I decided to change my life. I am 6'5 and weighed 437lbs. I meet with Dr. Wasser in Feb 2019. He had me push myself in ways I hadn't been pushed in years. I have followed every step of the process and I have never felt better. I am just over a year post op and I am down to 227lbs. I run and work out all the time and have found that I can love me as much as I love my family. He was truly a life saver. His guidance and approach to this works. You have to find it in you to give your faith in this process to Dr. Wasser and his team, they will lead you and teach you the way to a healthy life.

Theres not enough stars to rate this excellent surgeon. I am a little over a month post opt RNY. Dr. Sharma was my surgeon from Virtua Bariatrics and I am beyond the roof proud of his outstanding work on me. He goes in complete detail with everything you need to know, leaving you feel trustworthy about him. My incision site is healing excellent and so neatly appeared ???? hes truly a GEM in my eyes. I recommend Dr. Sharma for any of your Bariatric desires. You wont question yourself, once you’ve taken the time to have a consult with him personally ???? (I give him 10 diamonds!!) sincerely a NEW WOMEN FULL OF LIFE, thks to Dr. Sharma VIRTUA BARIATRICS in Moorestown ????

Dr. Sharma is the most congenial, compassionate and truly caring doctor I have encountered. His surgical expertise is beyond parallel and his bedside manner is just A-One! Surgery, in and of itself, is very daunting and scary...Dr, Sharma eased my fears and my vertical sleeve gastrectomy went fabulously well. He is genuinely concerned about his patients and their long-term well-being. Thank you, Dr. Sharma, for everything! You've changed my life for the better!

Making the decision to have bariatric is a scary one and the patient needs to be 100% confident in the surgeon they choose - this is something I found in Dr. Sharma and so much more. He has been extremely professional and compassionate since I first saw him in Sept. 2018. He performed the gastric sleeve on March 26th and I am currently down 80 pounds and still going strong. He spent as much time with my family after the procedure and explained what was done and what to expect - answering any and all of their questions.

I am blessed to have Dr. Sharma as a member of my support group during this journey. Seeing the smile on his face when he walks in the room, I know "Yes, I've got this." I am 110% confident with his expertise and would recommend him to anyone who asks.

For anyone even thinking about WLS, please make an appt. With Dr.Sharma! He is professional, caring, and enthusiastic about this approach. All questions will be answered and a clear plan of action will be prepared for you. The staff at his office truly cares about your success. Do not wait until your BMI is at a critical level, I was right at 40 with high blood pressure and having the VGS was one of the best decisions I have ever made!!

If anyone is unsure who to get for Bariatric surgery. I suggest Virtua Surgical. All Doctors are stellar in the organization but the one Doc that stands out is Dr. Gaurav Sharma. Dr. Sharma is passionate about his career. He is attentive and listens to his patients. His warm smile makes you feel comfortable. I look forward to my visits with him. A great asset to the Virtua Staff! Love you Dr. Sharma!

Dr Sharma performed an emergency appendectomy for me a week ago. He was very professional, knowledgeable and kind during our interactions and his treatment of my condition. The surgery went excellently, without complications or delay. Dr Sharma even noted a couple of unrelated conditions he saw while performing the appendectomy, and ordered a test performed the next morning to followup on one of them. We agreed that my post-op condition would not allow me to tolerate testing for the other condition, so he provided the laparoscopic photo he took for that one and he recommended follow-up with an appropriate physician. He very accurately anticipated and explained my post-operative condition and recovery process and timing. I would recommend him to anyone. Very sweet and competent - a rare combination in a surgeon!

Dr.Wasser is simply the best. I'm almost 6 weeks post -op and feeling pretty good. I have a problem with one of the office staff. I think it's just a personality clash. Other than that all the staff is very helpful. So it's a rock and roll kinda holiday for me. Do as I'm told and the show will go on, and the show is the new me. XO XO to all of V.S.S.

My surgeon Dr. Wasser, very gentle and a warm heart (cold hands)inside thing between me and my Doctor. Dr. Wasser kept me informed of everything he was going to do, how i should be feeling, as well as not feeling. My overall review of Dr. Wasser and the beautiful staff is they make me feel welcome. always cheerful.

Hi, I a patient of Dr. Wasser I love him and his staff they are wonderful. From my first visit I felt so comfortable with them. Doctor Wasser will make you feel like whatever decision you make he'll make sure that his staff will accommodate you in anyway they can. They will guide you every step of the way, I can call them and ask advise over the phone, never did they say I'll get back to you, they got me immediate help. Tina oh boy! yah she's so informative I really admire her. I'm so glad that I choose Virtua Surgical group, Mount Holly N.J.
