Virtua Surgical Group Bariatric Center

Dr. Wasser and his office staff, especially Tina , were Great!! They answered all of my questions and concerns as they arose. I have not had my surgery yet but its coming and will up date my post afterwards.

I am very happy that I have chosen South Jersey Bariatric Surgeons. They have a superb reputation and a great support group which at least two of the surgeons attend each month. I have only spoke to Dr. Wasser at my office visit but look forward to knowing him better.

My first impression of Dr. Wasser was that he was very attractive and well dressed. Dr. Wasser is a classy, reserved individual who, after my consultation, made me believe in his ability and how well his group will be able to assist me through my journey. rnrnWhen you go to Dr. Wasser, I would not expect an over exhuberant, touchy, feely individual. However, I found his quiet, reserve approach just what I needed.rnrnAftercare is really emphasized. Obviously with the band there are fills but you are required to join and attend Dr. Wasser's support group meetings. Cost is nominal $250.00 at this point.rnrnThe risks of surgery were fully outlined at my consult and then delved into even more at the support group meeting.rnrn

Very informative, brief and to the point. Has made himself and staff very available for questions. Highly recommend him and the other Dr's in his group.

I was very pleased with my surgeon. His office staff, specifically Tina, was fabulous. Meeting her put me completly at ease about the entire surgery preparation, paperwork, etc. She has always been very helpful before and after the surgery.rnrnDr. Wasser seems to be a perfectionist...a quality I relate to and respect. Other people may be turned off by his perfectionism. He has, and continues to have, high expectations for his patients. His style can be seen as very businesslike.....but when I was most scared, uncertain, and a bit frightened (i.e. leaving the hospital)...he showed his caring demeanor as well. While others may find him too distant , I looked to him as efficient, demanding (in a good way), and professional.rnrnWhen you choose a surgeon, you want someone who refuses to do less than his best, and Dr. Wasser's surgical competence is just that, the best.

My first impression was that he was serious and quite alert. I was scheduled with another doc but researched the 3 in this pratice and choose the one with the most laproscopic history. My first meeting with him was not very personable and he seemed uninterested in me. We will see how it goes.

I think he is great. Gets to the point and tells you what will be happening. Talks to you, not at you. I would recommend him to others.

My first meeting with Dr. Wasser was quite by accident (Dr. Ing was held up in surgery and had to miss my appointment). I was told I could reschedule or hang around a few minutes and Dr. Wasser would see me so I wouldn't have to come back. It was fate - I felt comfortable with him immediately. He was direct, explained everything thoroughly and made me feel at ease. I had my lapband surgery on Oct. 3, 2006 and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had. The whole surgical team, office staff, and hospital staff were just absolutely terrific. Dr. Wasser visited me twice in the hospital and I was only there one night! Aftercare is extremely important to Dr. Wasser. I've been to several support group meetings since the surgery and he's been to every one. When he says he's available to you 24/7 he means it. My overall rating for Dr. Wasser would be outstanding.

I go for my surgery on November 28th. My surgeon is Dr. Samuel Wasser. When I first met Dr. Wasser, he made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He was very informative and he told me right away how the surgery worked and things that could possibly go wrong during or after the surgery. I then knew that I was going to stick with Dr. Wasser. His assistant, Tina, is also very wonderful. She has been very kind and generous so far. I must of called her a dozen times with different questions and concerns, and never once did she seem like I was getting on her nerves which I probably was. I will keep everybody posted on my post-op, but there is no doubt in my mind that I would recommend Dr. Wasser to anyone looking to have the laproscopic gastric bypass.

I was originally Dr. Greenbaum's patient but he is on a sabbatical so I was transferred to Dr. Wasser. I thought he was cool and competent but not very friendly when I first met him. He seemed to warm up after the first visit tho. Dr. Wasser is primarily a vascular surgeon and you know how they work in very small areas.....so I have a very nice pencil thin scar. The nurses at the hospitial spoke very highlly of Dr. Wasser. They said he spends more time than most other doctors in seeing that his patients are take care of and are well. He was at a subsequent aftercare meeting and seemed very interested in seeing that all went well at the meeting. I would rate him an A and recommend him to others.
