Valeriu E. Andrei MD Bariatric Associates Bariatric Center

My first impression of Dr Andrei was very positive. He put me at ease from the very beginning and assured me that everything would be OK. And so far it is all OK (very good). I found Dr Andrei and his staff to be very through in explaining to me all that would take place before the surgery, during the surgery and after the surgery.

Putting Dr Andrei aside for the moment, I would like to express that he has a fantastic team. His staff is the best I have ever come across. They are all the best of the crop. I wish I knew where he found such a great team because I would love to work every day with a group of people like this.

I say Thank You to Dr. Andrei for giving me hope and Thank You to the staff.

I had a lap band surgery on September 26th and i lost 13 lbs. so far. I think the world of Dr. Andrei he is very professional in every since of the word. He is caring attentive and i can not say enough about his staff they are very professional and very friendly and the follow up is incredible and their support. I have been telling all my family and friends to come to this office if they need this type weight loss surgery.

My experience coming thru the process and finding a doctor was an informative one in the beginning. I attended a group meeting at another medical institution and then attended my first one on one session in Dr. Andrei's office. I have to said that since the first day I was impressed with the staff and service. My experience has been a wonderful one in all the senses: education, care, support, follow ups and everything else you will think about. The professionalism is one of my top reasons to choose this practice and recommend them to everyone. I am happy, blesses and pleased of having Dr. Andrei as my surgeon.

Thank you all!

surgery went well felt great afterwards but had some complications in hospital which had nothing to do with Dr. Andrei. My weight is coming off nicely with no sideaffects like vomiting.

The staff is really great and very helpful i couldn't have asked for abetter team then this . Diane

From the first appointment with Dr. Andrei I was made to feel at ease. From his great staff to him as well. I was given all the information needed to make my decision to get the Realize band and never felt pressured in any way. He was always professional and made me feel comfortable. Even after sugery, he and the staff continue to be amazing. It was the best decison I have made to get this surgery and I know I have picked the best surgeon for the job. I even recommended him to a friend who will be getting hers in a few months.

I am a Medical Education professional for many years so when it came to making the decision of weight loss surgery I spent many months researching the various Bariatric Surgeons in my immediate area. I visited each of their offices and attended their individual seminars. From the first telephone call to Dr. Andrei's office I was met with enthusiasm, kindness and most importantly knowledge. Then I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Andrei. He is a careing, professional with a sense of understanding that I have found rare in Surgeons. His Medical background is stellar. His support staff is above expertise. If one person cant answer your query there is another one right there to set you straight. The team cares for you, your family and most importantly your Insurance company.

The process is massive with this knowledgeable and dedicated team are always keeping you in the forefront. You tell me what Drs. office calls you everyday for at least a week after you have returned home from surgery - I am not sure there are too many. His office systems are well thought out with constant updating to keep his office one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of working with. If you are still unsure - just visit another Bariatric Surgery office - you will see for yourself and feel rest assured that Dr.Andrei and Staff are the best out there.

Dr.Andrei and his staff provides world class service. From the first time I called for my initial appointment to my post surgery, they have done everything to educate, accomodate, and give me the assurance that I am in great care. They helped me set up all my doctor appointments and consistantly followed up to ensure I was progressing during the weeks leading up to surgery. They have handled all my insurance paperwork without asking any assistance from me. I met Dr. Anrei on my first vist which truly suprised me. He is extemely informitive and a great listener. He and I spoke on numerous occasions on what surgery would better suit me for what I needed. In the end, I had lap band surgery. I attended pre surgery classes on a monthly basis conducted by Dr. Anrei's staff.
I saved the best for last. Dr. Andrei has the best Nutritionist/Dietition I ever encountered on his staff . She plays a large role in this great experience. The aftercare that she and the rest of the staff is giving me has truly made this journey well worth it. I would recommend anyone thinking of weight loss surgery to go through their journey with Dr. Andrei and his staff.

Dr. Andrei performed my revision surgery in April 2011. Once again, I am proud to say how pleased I am with his patient care both prior to and post surgery. Dr. Andrei and all of his staff are friendly, knowledgable and very accomodating. They completely help each patient through the red tape of insurance coverage and what is needed. Dr. Andrei and his staff know their patients and follow-up regularly. I actually drive approximately 2 hours from my home to see Dr. Andrei and his staff because he is so good. Well worth the drive to have the trust in a great surgeon who cares about his patients. I could not selected a better surgeon for this life changing experience.

My experience with Dr. Valeriu Andrei has been an excellant experience. Dr. Andrei performed a Lap Band Surgery on me on 4/15/11 and he took exceptional care of me pre and post operative. I had special health risks and Dr. Andrei and his staff Andy and Pam could not have be more articulate and caring in their jobs and performance. The rest of the staff Carrie , Shannon, and Sherry , who all helped in making the Surgery a success are wonderful at the jobs also. I would recommend this Dr. Valeriu Andrei and his Team to anyone looking to do Bariatric Surgery they are real Professionals in the field of Medicine.
