Valeriu E. Andrei MD Bariatric Associates Bariatric Center
I had my surgery on 12/13/10 with Dr. Andrei at Morristown Memorial Hospital. Dr. Andrei and his staff are absolutely outstanding. I am feeling great and looking forward to my adjustments. His staff are friendly and understanding I am so happy I decided to take control of my life with the help of Dr. Andrei and his staff.
Dr. Andrei performed my initial surgery in 2007, at that time I thought he was a great doctor. He performed a revision in 2010, and I think he is a wonderful, caring and insightful physician. He truly cares about his patients, follow-ups and he and his staff are available all the time. Would not recommend any other physician but Dr. Andrei to perform this surgery.
My experience was wonderful,everyone connected with me during this time was outstanding.My doctor Dr.Andrei made me feel comfortable right from the start.
His office staff was very friendly and made me feel that they cared about me.
The team i had was the best ,after my surgery again yhat same caring ,calls at home everyday to make sure i was okay and if i had any problems who could ask for more.
They made me feel relaxed about everything.
One thing i must say i was never afraid not once ,even when i went into surgery i was never afraid and thats a tribute to the Doctor and his staff, which is a big family.
Thank-you Dr.Andrei for helping me to a new life,and thank-you Pamela for your ability to make me smile and feel good even when i felt i was'nt and to Andy my punk-rocker and most of all thank-you Shannon for always being there and for your kindness,and to the rest of the staff THANK-YOU
Love you all and guess what no pain after surgery.i recommend this to anyone who needs help i've had the best.
DR ANDREI AND HIS STAFF ARE OUTSTANDING..KIND, PATIENT, UNDERSTANDING AND COMPASSIONATE. DR ANDREI WALKED ME THROUGH EVERY STEP OF THE PROCEDURE AND KEPT HIS SENSE OF HUMOR TO HELP ME RELAX....PAMELA THE DIETICIAN IS WONDERFUL - PATIENT TO ANSWER ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS NO MATTER HOW SILLY....SHERRY, SHANNON AND ANDY ARE ALL PATIENT AND SO VERY HELPFUL THROUGH EVERY STEP OF THE WAY....
IF ANYONE IS CONSIDERING THE GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY - DR ANDREI IS THE BEST THERE IS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE - - I WOULDN'T HAVE CHOSEN ANY OTHER DOCTOR!!!!!
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS!
Dr. Andrei is a great surgeon. Very understanding and he listens to what you have to say and your questions. I would definitely recommend Dr. Andrei to anyone interested in WLS. The office staff is also very helpful and makes everything so easy for there patients. It is actually one doctors office that I enjoy coming too. Everyone here makes me leave with a positive outlook on life and I am looking forward to the future because of them.
Dr.Andrei and his staff have been nothing but professional in all the years I have dealt with them.They are friendly and ready to answer any questions I have.The best part is that Dr.Andrie will call you and check up on you when you list expect it and reassures you---this makes a big difference.I couldn,t ask for a more capable surgeon and great staff that work with him.
I would rate him EXCELLENT with both bedside manners and surgical competence and I would recommend him to any one who needs a good bariatric surgeon based on my experience
I was really impressed by the staff and the number of positiv reviews I'd ea prior to visiting Dr. Andrei's office.
Dr. Anrei and his staff continued to impress and hold up to the reviews even after months of visiting hi office.
With the numerous patients that come through that office, I was even more impressed that they staff was able to remember everyone's name. This gave me a warm and cozy feeling.
Although Dr. Andrei's staff is extremely knowledgeable, Dr. Andrei should spend more time visiting with his patients. In the 7 months I've visited the office, I only saw Dr. Andrei three times (not including the day of surgery).
Aftercare was mentioned at every monthly meeting and the month of follow-up vsiting after surgery. The aftercare program is structured to allow the body to help and adjust to the foods, activities and beverages as they are introduced.
The pros and cons of surgery were discussed in great detail at every meeting. Having staff that had surgery and that were willing to share their experiences was helpful as well; it really eased my mind.
Overall, I would say that Dr. Andrei and his staff are A++. I've never met a better team of healthcare professionals.
My surgeon for a lap band was Dr. Andrei. I had a very good first impression of him as he explained everything clearly and he is easy to understood. I had also heard good things about him as he had done surgery on a friend with great results. He originally did not want to do a lap band as I had a hernia but since I would not have the bypass he did more tests and was finally able to give me a band. I really appreciate his effort to help me get what I wanted. I have nothing negative to say about Dr Andrei or his staff. Everyone is extremely accommodating,before, during and after surgery. I would rate the whole experince 10 out of 10. I felt very confident with Dr. Andrei doing the surgery and I travelled far to his office but felt he was worth the trip. The office staff called me twice a day for the first week after the surgery. There is a very good aftercare program which I am now taking part in. Pam the dietician is also wonderful and you can call her anytime and ask her any questions during the weekly followups after surgery. I would strongly recommend Dr Andrei to anyone who is thinking of weight loss surgery.
