I went to Ireland for two weeeks in September. Dr Andrei remebered I was going and called me to come in to the office. He wanted to make sure my band was OK before I went off to Europe. Yes, he remebered I was leaving the country and needed to check things before I left. With the wonder Irish diet of beer and potatoes,I did wind up gaining a couple of pounds, but I saw Dr Andrei again when I returned and he hepled me get right back on track. I lost that weight and a couple more pounds on top of that. Dr Andrei and his staff are great. I just sent him another patient and I am sure with the help and support of Dr. Adnrei and his staff he will do great.
This past Saturday was National Doctors Day. I just want to put out a big thank you to Dr. Andrei for being the best!
Since the summer I have had 2 surgeries to remove excess skin from my weight loss. I was not able to be as active as I usually was. This lead to me gaining a few pounds. After loosing 150 lbs gaining 6 or 7 pounds is not horrible, no one noticed except for me and the scale, but as always Dr. Andrei and his staff are there helping me get back to where I was. They are all great and very supportive.
I just had the last of my excess skin removal surgery. My experience from my first visit to the office up until the present is always positive. The only negative thing I can say ia sometimes you have have ti wait awhile at your appointment, but the end results are worth the wait. After this last surgery, Andy from the office called and asked if everything was OK and made sure I had a follow up appointment with Dr. Andei. Even after you meeet your goals you are not forgotten.
P.S. Dr A, second surgery looks just as good as the first!
Alot of people ask me if barriatric surgery was painful and if it changed the way I eat. I have a lap band and had no pain. Of couurse it changes the way you eat, but if you are ready to make a committment to change your life it is not hard. Dr. Andrei and his entire staff are there before and after surgery. If you find yourself having a hard time all you have to do is call. Dr. Andrie, Andy, Pam and the rest of the staff are always theri to help. Having surgery was the best decision nI ever made. Peeople also ask me if I would take my band out. The answer to that is easy. No! Why would I take something out that is so helpful and most of the time I don't even know it is there.
I also comment on how helpful Dr. Andrei and his entire staff is while you are going through the wight loose process. It doesn't stop there. Before surfey I weighed I weighed over 300lbs. I am currently 158. He still has me come in to check my band, and has supported me through skin removal surgery. The support will always be there
I still continue to see Dr. Andrei on a regular basis. Every time I see him it is always a positive experience. He is always very positive and keeps you motivated to loose weight. I continue to recommed him and his practice to anyone looking for a weight loss solution.
I have been seeing Dr. Andrei for over 5 years now. I have also had the opportunity to work in his office. Weather I am in the office as a patient or helping other patients the experiece is always a postive one. I never had one regret chosing him as my surgeon. I have refered other patients to him and will continue to do so.
I thunk Dr. Adrei is woderful. He works very closely with all his patients. He wants you to succeed and reach alll of your goals. I highly recommend him to anyone who is considering weight loss surgery.
I am 10 months post-op and I am down 101 pounds!! I am about 30 pounds aways from my goal. I never thought that I would ever be even clost to my goal weight. Thank you so much to the staff for all of their love and support. One of the staff members even called me tiny today. I feel great on the inside and outside and would recommend that if you are even thinking about getting the gastric sleeve to go for it. You will have the support you need to be as successful as anyone who has had the surgery and you will be able to start living your life once again. JUST DO IT!!!
Today I am about 3 months post op and I am down 55 pounds!! I haven't felt this great physically and mentally since high school. I am grateful to have the continual support of Dr. Andrei's staff. Pamela is absolutely wonderful and very knowledgable. I am able to call the office at any time with questions that I may have and someone always returns my call that day. I think the one thing that has contributed to my success after my gastric sleeve surgery is the weekly and then monthly checkups. It is important that you make every single appointment, always go for your blood work, and connect with the staff when you feel you are having issues or have questions. Best. Decision. Ever!
From the day of my first appointment, I felt comfortable with Dr. Andrei and his staff. I worked very closesly with the registered dietician, Pamela, whom is absolutely amazing. She is always willing to answer all of my questions without making me filly silly or rushed. Dr. Andrei isalso available to answer my questions and made me feel confident prior to my surgery that I was in good hands.
The support staff at Dr. Andrei's office is also very pleasant and genuinely kind. I've always hid the fact that I was embarassed about my weight but I felt comfortable discussing these lifelong fears. The staff handled all of the paperwork with the insurance company and I receive two calls a day from the office to make sure I am recovering well. I've recommended all of my family and friends to this office because I am absolutely satisfied with this location. Thank you for giving me a second chance at life Dr. Andrei!
I never thought that i would see the old me again, weight kept climbing up and up until i seen Dr Andrei, he was highly recommended through all of my co workers who had the same problems, ive lost over 65 pounds and i never want to see that fat guy again starring back at me in the morning getting ready for work, people that havent seen me in months, cannot believe the difference, from a 40 waist to a 34.
Dr. Andrei is a wonderful doctor whose main priority is his patients. I have been under his care for the past five years and have no regrets in choosing him to perform my lap band surgery. Till this day I have had no complications but it is a wonderful feeling knowing that Dr. Andrei and his staff are just a phone call away.
I have been a patient of Dr. Andrei's for the past 4 years. I have no regrets with my decision to have weight loss surgery. I definitely do not regret picking Dr. Andrei as my surgeon. I was comfortable from the minute I stepped into the office. My questions and concerns were addressed which made my decision to have surgery easier.
Four years ago I made a decision that would change my life forever. After several visits with Dr. Andrei, I decided to have lap band surgery. I put my life in the hands and till this day have no regrets. Dr. Andrei is a wonderful surgeon and I recommend him to anyone who asks me about weight loss surgery. Along with such a great doctor comes a wonderful staff!
I always look forward to my visits at Dr. Andrei's office. The staff is wonderful and always pleasant. I have been coming to see Dr. Andrei for the past four years and till this day have nothing negative to say. He is a wonderful doctor who gives his undivided attention to each patient. He and the members of his office always make themselves available when you need them the most. I will continue to recommend Dr. Andrei to anyone seeking weight loss surgery.
I have no regrets stepping foot in to Dr. Andrei's office nearly four years ago. My first impression of Dr. Andrei was, "Wow, this doctor really seems to care about me." He gave me his full attention and addressed my concerns in a professional matter. He discussed the lap band procedure in detail and addressed the risks associated with the surgery. He is a wonderful doctor with a great staff! Everyone in the office is so warm and friendly. I actually look forward to my aapointments. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Andrei to anyone seeking bariatric surgery!
Through the time and preperation for my surgery it was pretty much nothing but questions and concerns, but with the all the help from Dr. Andrei and his staff they've all been wonderful with keeping me at ease and answering all my questions. I'm happy that I've gone through with the surgery and I could never ask for a better Doctor and Support Team.
Dr. Andrei and his team are amazing. I'm newly post-op but have been jumping through insurance hoops for over a year to get here. His team has helped me in every way possible. Everyone from Pamela, Shannon, Robin, Andy,and the rest of the crew, I can NEVER thank them enough for all their help and guidance. Dr. Andrei is my angel and I'm on the road to a better and healthier life now. THANK YOU!
If you want the best...Here's the best!
My experience with Dr. Andrei's office has been nothing but the best. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to them. They are really there for the patients at any hour of the day with any questions. thank you... thank you.. thank you!!!
What can I say! I had the opportunity to have the best service and care from the most amazing medical staff in medical history. I have been attending Dr. Andrei's office for weight loss class for the past 8months.
My surgery date was August 20th. I was 286lb, this is day 7 post surgery and i am now 269lb. I have to say, i feel amazing, vibriant, great, fantastic, and overall satisfied. I would like to thank Dr. Andrei, and all of his staff for the best service of all.
Thank you all,
Claudine
at first i was very afraid to have the surgery. i came to dr. andrei's office and felt like i didnt leave home. everyone was so pleasant and made me feel so comfortable. dr.andrei told me what he thought would be good for me and let me make a decesion on my treatment. i had my surgery a month ago and still enjoy coming to the office for my appointments. this was the best doctor at the best office and i recommend dr.andrei for anyone thinking about bariatric surgery. just try the consultation,it is worth it.
