When i first met Dr. Andrei he gave a great first impression, very nice and caring doctor. Nothing has changed over time I still think hes a great doctor who has helped me and is still helping to change my life. His office staff is also very caring and nice. I feel so comfortable everytime I come in the office. Theres nothing I disliked about Doctor Andrei. Future patients should know that he is a caring doctor and will help you achieve your goal with loosing weight and I would recommend Dr. Andrei to anyone who needs a bariatric surgeon. He does have a structured aftercare program, if I need hte nutritionist Pam she is always there when I need her and is a phone call away to help me after the surgery with my diet. I rate dr. Andrei a 10 because I have been to so many doctors and nutrionists but when i stepped into his office is when I lost a large amount of weight I never thought I would lose.
I had the lap band surgery in 2006. I was 268 pounds. The surgery went well even though I was very nervous. Dr. Andrei and his staff were fabulous and made me feel very comfortable. I learned through the years to chew my food completely and to eat more times a day. Lap band is a tool for weight loss which people don't understand. In addition to the surgery, I started to work out (kickbox). The pounds shed off of me. As of today I am 149 pounds and I love it. Now I come once or twice a year to just check on my band and I still have the awesome support I had from 2006. I know if I ever have a question I can call and I will be helped immediately. Pamela was a great resource and great help for me. Andy never gave up on me and will force me to come to the office to get my band checked out. And last but not least, Dr. Andrei is a great doctor and he helped me look and feell great!!!! Kudos Dr. Andrei :)
I learned about Dr. Andrei from my co-worker. She raved about him and his staff. She would constantly get reminders to come into the office for her appointments. Finally, I decided to go. It is the best decision that I made for myself. The visit was very personable. Dr. Andrei is very easy to talk to and he is concern about you. You really get individual service where you actually engages in a conversation about how you are doing and your weight loss plans. I have a great support team, Andy (alwasy calling), Pamela, ny nutritious, shares great tips and of course the staff who knows my name. That is really important to me. I enjoy the pleasant atmosphere and kindess of his staff.
I searched high and low to find a reputable surgeon to perform my revisional procedure. I cannot tell you how happy I feel to have found Dr. Andrai. After going through more than a few challenges 3 years ago when I had my first surgery, I feel confident and assured that I've found the right person. The staff here at Dr. Andrai's office are OUTSTANDING. They are extremely friendly and professional at all times. I'm now in the first steps of what I need to do for my next procedure and feel very confident that I'll be happy with the results.
I had lap band surgery in march and have been getting adjustments since then. Every time i get an adjustment, i am weighed beforehand so that i can keep track of my weight loss. I then meet with both dr. andrei and andy and they adjust my band. They are always very attentive to how i am feeling and they make sure that the band is never too tight. They call later on in the day to check up on how well the food is going down and to make sure that there are no problems. They are always available in case i have a problem and if i do, they make sure to see me right away. I highly recommend dr. andrei because he truly cares about his patients and is committed to helping them become healthy.
Doctor Andrei is an excellent doctor who takes a sincere interest in his patients. He made sure that I was fully prepared for surgery and is always available to answer questions or concerns that I may have. His staff is also extremely knowledgeable and friendly; they provide excellent support as well and are always there to help answer questions, too.
When I knew I had to get rid of the weight I asked my GI doctor about Lap Band surgery and he agreed that it was a wonderful option for me and recommended Dr. V. Andrei and I have been a patient for the last 2 1/2 years. The whole experience has been very satisfactory and I would encourage anyone who has suffered with obesity to consider meeting Dr. Andrei and receiving his expert opinon of your situation and I know he will advise you the best course of treatment.
I had lapband surgery just over a year ago. I have made repeat visits to Dr. Andrei's office almost every month. I can't tell you how nice the office staff is and their caring manner is reflective of their boss, my surgeon, Dr. Andrei. I can call any day and get an answer to my questions, the staff always remember me when I arrive and they celebrate my continued weight loss. Dr. Andrei is always concerned and involved with my after care. I didn't believe this level of after care existed. I have been 100% satisfied with my progress to date. I recommend Dr. Andrei to everyone I know who is looking for a positive weight loss experience.
I was very nervous about having weight loss surgery. I had no one that I was particularly close to that had undergone surgery and I live alone. I had fears that I would encounter difficulties and not be able to get help.
Dr. Andrei and his staff were very professional and caring. They knew my name when I came in, they answered my questions and I was always treated as if I was their only patient. Dr. Andrei is also very warm and inviting. He is a quiet man, who answers all questions in terms that are easily understood by a lay person. He met with me several times before the surgery and was there on the day of the surgery to answer questions and to assure me that all would go well.
The followup to surgery has also been a pleasant experience. I feel a sense of peace and understandig. As always, the staff is very pleasant and the office visits are a pleasure.
When I first met Dr. Valeriu Andrei at an introduction seminar for bariatric surgery, I found that the he was very knowledgeable and cared about his paitients. Over time I have learned that Dr. Andrei and his staff are well organized in all aspects of my medical care. Dr. Andrei is very meticulous and detailed when preparing the patient and treating the patient. His office appointments are always on time, he is available when you wouldn't expect a doctor to be available. I really feel he has developed his own system to provide the most assistance to his patients through his very detailed and specific plans. His after care support groups are very helpful in keeping you health and diets on track. He addressed the risks of surgery in a very matter of fact way and made it very easy for me to make the decision for band surgery. I would rate Dr. Andrei over all without a doubt 5 stars as well as each member of his staff. His surgical competence and besside manner are both professional and beyond reproach. He has definitely changed my life for the better. I really cannot think of anything negative to say about my overall experience with Dr. Andrei. This was a well supported, well documented, life changing decision that I made and I would not recommend any other doctor for this procedure.
