My name is Desiree and I am 32 years old. I was a patient of Doctor Wasser in 2002...I feel as if I am a "success story", as they say. I lost about 160 Lbs and have not gained a single Lb back since. I am so thankful for the opportunity to get my life back and I enjoyed getting to live it with my 3 children!!! The past ten years are owed to the Doctor and staff that got me through.

Dr. Wasser and his staff were very friendly at each visit. they answered all my questions and any doubts that i had. The surgery went well no complications and i am only 2 weeks post -op and feel great. Anyone who wants a very good surgeon should definitely use him he is the best!!!!!!!

Although Dr Wassers office is a hour and a half away from my home i felt it was well worth the effort.Being a Vascular Surgeon was a big plus in my book.,I knew that would mean he was skilled in doing delicate surguries and i would be confident that surrounding organs would not be harmed.Dr Wasser and his team took the time to explain every aspect of the surgery and recovery.Although i had some unforseen complications that couldn't be helped,Dr wasser's cautious practices helped me to heal quickly and feel confident that a little extra time in the hospital was the safest thing for me.I highly recomend Dr wasser as an experianced bariatric surgeon.

I can say that Dr. Acholonu has the most caring and overall best interest for his patients. He can be very serious and have a great bedside manner as well. He listens to his patiens and their needs are always first. I am glad that I have chosen him to do my surgery, and I would recommend him to my family and friends. Thanks for the "loss" and the push I have always needed.

Dr Acholonu is a great Doctor. He doesn't mess around after surgery; he wants you up and walking wether you feel like it or not which is good. He has a great office staff, and wonderful Nurse named Bonnie. He has excellent surgical competence, and wonderful bedside manner.

Awesome surgeon! He did a wonderful job, everyone at his practice has been wonderful.
South Jersey Bariatrics was a great choice and they work wonderfully with your insurance. Support meetings every month.
Dr. Wasser is really nice and very funny, wish he could slow down some when visiting with you, he is so good he seems to be very busy. But other then that he is great!

Dr Wasser is a really nice person. He spends time with you and helps you decide which surgery is best for you. Great bedside manner and extremely competent.

His office staff is 50/50. There a a few super nice ladies but quite a few that smiling once in a while wouldn't hurt them. Could definitely use improvement
