Valeriu E. Andrei MD Bariatric Associates Bariatric Center
1. my impression on my surgeon was that he was very nice.
2. i was very excited about getting my surgery because ive struggles with obesity for a long time and its really does work.
3. ive lost a couple pounds in 3 weeks so i have seen results and im very happy.
4. the staff here in my doctors office are so nice and caring.
Dr. Andrei was/is amazing, his staff is the best. You walk in there and everyone knows you by name. It is like family being there.
It is a little over an hour trip to see him, but it is so worth it. His bedside manner is wayyyyy above and beyond any surgeon ive ever met. No joke, he was on the phone with me every morning in the hospital at 530am. Or was visiting me by 7am. I swear he never sleeps.
I'd recommend him to anyone
I had original lap band surgery august 4, 2008. I did well with weight loss, reversed diabetes , lowered blood pressure , and began a daily reigiment of walking. March 2009 had some problems with lack of weight loss. Diagnosed with prolapsed stomach. Had surgery scheduled for June 4, 2009 lap band revision which turned out to be a repair of a second hernia, clean up of scar tissue and removal of lap band totally. At present I am healing from surgery and not sure of future surgery if any. I have been vry pleased with my surgeon, Dr. Andrei and all of his staff throughout my ordeal.

When I first met Dr. Andrei, he made me feel comfortable immediately. He took his time to ask me questions about myself before explaining everything that I needed to know about the surgery as well as what to expect; both good and bad. He also gave me the opportunity to address any questions and concerns that I had regarding the surgery. I knew right then and there, that I was making a well informed decision when I chose Dr. Andrei and his team to provide the services that I was looking for.
His office staff is always very professional, caring, and helpful; everyone works together as a team to provide quality service to their patients.
They emphasize on the aftercare program because they realize that the aftercare is just as important as the surgery itself. My husband was very impressed by the amount of calls I received from Dr. Andrei and his entire staff about my well being as I was recovering from surgery. Their actions speak volume in my book because it showed me just how much they care about me.
I rate Dr. Andrei and his entire staff a 10 and I would definitely refer him to my family and friends because my experience with them has been great.
my surgery was 5 days ago. i feel great, no complaints so far. dr andrei and staff have been extremely supportive and helpful since the first phone call to the office. my incisions are almost completely healed and my pain has been minimal. the staff has called me each day since surgery to check on me and thats a good feeling. i highly recommend dr andrei, his staff is awesome!!!!
