Valeriu E. Andrei MD Bariatric Associates Bariatric Center
The staff at Dr Andrei's are very professional but friendly. I don't know how they do it but they know every patient by name when they walk through the door.
The are very concerned with your overall health
My experience with Dr Andrei has been very positive.
Dr Andrei and his staff are awesome. When you walk in the office they know your name. You do not feel like just another patient. Dr Andrei is very concerned with your overall health.
I had my surgery about two weeks ago. I'm feeling great and am on my way to being a much healthier individual.
Dr. Andrei is a wonderful caring doctor. My experience has been a good one with the lapband. I have gotten great result and recommend him to everyone I meet who have weight problems. I was considering having a tummy tuck done in Florida. Dr. Andrei as a concerned doctor for my health made it his business to speak to the doctor I was considering to make sure that doctor knew how to perform the surgery on a patient like me with a lapband. He then called me to tell me that he felt that the doctor in Florida was very competent to perform my surgery. Dr. Andrei made sure that I would be safe in this other doctors hands. Going that extra mile meant a lot to me and told me a lot about him. I love Dr. Andrei and I couldn't have made a better decision than having chosen him. By the way, he also has and excellent staff that are very polite and caring. I recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Andrei is amazing and along with his staff!! I had my bypass surgery in 2007 and kept the weight off, just pout on couple pounds but Pamela is there to help and steer you from all the "old habits!" If you're looking for surgery, go with Dr. Andrei, he is not just a surgeon he is a person who does care and listens to YOU! what YOU want.
Thank You!
I first met Dr. Andrei when he was revising a previous bariatric surgery on my mother. She had such a great experience that I decided the gastric sleeve was right for me. The office staff is always friendly and courteous, and aftercare was much more than I expected. The office contacts you at least twice a day after surgery to assure you are not having any problems. I would definitely recommend Dr. Andrei to others considering weight-loss surgery.
I have been a patient of Dr. Andrei for 3 years now. When I had my first appointment with him he took his time was so informative and friendly. He explained everything that I needed to know. Dr. Andrei knows his patient's by name which is most important. All of his staff members are fantastic and very welcoming. I am glad that I chose Dr. Andrei as my surgeon!!
I came across Dr. Andrei's name and mumber while reading the Star Ledger. When I first called the office for an appointment the receptionist was very friendly and very patient with me while I was trying to make an appointment that fit into my work schedule.
When I first met Dr. Andrei he was very informative, friendly, and explained everything I needed to know about the surgery I was planning to have. Dr. Andrei took his time while explaining the procedure. After my first appointment with him I knew I could trust Dr. Andrei.
Every staff member in his office is very friendly and knows who I am when walking into the office. You do not get this from everyone and it is very special and welcoming when you walk through the door for an appointment and they greet you by first name.
I am truely glad that I chose Dr. Andrei as my surgeon!
Dr. Andrei is a warm and careing doctor. I found him to have a great beside manner before during and after surgery. His office personnel are all very specialized is what their duties are. On my initial call to the office his personnel took all the worry out of dealing with my insurance company. They went after the insurance company until they got their ressponse and kept me informed every day. Pam, Dr. Andrei's nutritionist, is joy to work with. She is well informed of the correct diet and you never feel like you are on your own. Andy, well what can I say, he is dedicated to all the doctors patients. He has been calling me twice a day to make sure I am not running into any problems. This office has a structured environment. I definitely give Dr. Andrei and his staff an A++.

I have known Dr. Andrei now for three years. I was very angry about having a lap band. I was rude and obnoxious to him even when he called me personally to introduce himself. I even went to the extreme of trying to convince the psychologist that I was too crazy for this procedure. I was completely blown away when he was also in the OR when I had an endoscopy, because he wanted to see the test results himself. I came to the realization that Dr. Andrei is a very responsible person and surgeon. I can ask him questions without feeling foolish. I have graduated to looking forward to my visits. I have had no medical complications from the procedure. I went from five insulin shots daily to one shot of Victoza and Glucophage. His staff is extraordinary, not only do they know you by name, but they walk you through all the pre-op tests. they are all very supportive. You do not have to search for doctors! My surgery was easier than having a baby!!! Ten days after surgery, I began my first day of school with no problems and 30 pounds lighter!
My first impression of Dr. Andrei was colored by the fact that I was angry and felt that by reaching out for help I was a failure. I didn't want to believe what he was telling me about lap band surgery. I was generally obnoxious. My impression changed gradually. He called me personally to introduce himself. I was dumfounded. My impression really changed when I went for the endoscopy. I was scared out of my mind and Dr. Andrei was in the OR with Dr. Mogan. Dr. Andrei held my hand until I fell asleep. I slowly began to realize that I needed help and I could get it with a group of professionals who really cared about the individual. The staff and the aftercare have been wonderful. (We also fought \"the good fight\" with BCBS and won.) It's good to know that I can call with any question and someone will get back to me. Dr. Andrei was very forward about the risks of surgery (I was being really obnoxious). I would have never agreed to this surgery except that all my physicians spoke very highly of Dr. Andrei and respect him greatly. I am greatful for his help and knowledge.
