Valeriu E. Andrei MD Bariatric Associates Bariatric Center

How I met Dr Andrei,rnrnA friend/co-worker of mine made a decision one day with his wife that they needed to make a change in their life. They did some research on the topic of surgery for obesity. They found Dr Andrei. After a few weeks of consultations and meetings they new this was the right decision for them and then spoke to me about their choice. I was having the same inner battles as they were with a weight problems. I made the step at that point, as they did, to do something about it. I called Dr Andrei's office. I was greeted by the most wonderful caring staff that seemed to really care about the struggles I was going through with my weight issues. Then Dr Andrei got on the phone, after a 10 minute talk I made the decision to come in and talk further. That talk changed my life.rnrnA lifes journey,rnrnI had many ups and downs in my life which brought on stress and found it very difficult to not only lose weight but when I did to keep it off. I was tired of being a yo-yo. Dr Andrei told me he could help. Its wasnt just about having a quick fix surgery. It was more than that. It was about changing my life. If was about making better decisions and they were willing to help me along the way. I am just under 4 months out of surgery and I started this journey at a high of 301 lbs and I sit her today typing on my computer and I am 220 lbs. I still have a little way to go but I know I will get there. rnrnThis man, this wonderful man and his staff changed my life. I changed my life and I am a better, healthier person for it.rnrnThank you for everything you done! I could not have done it without you.

I LOVE DR. ANDREI! MY SURGERY WAS VERYrnEASY. I HAD NO PROBLEMS AND TODAY WAS MY FIRST FILLFOR MY LAPBAND.

DR. Andrei was great from the beginning. i was very nervous about the surgery. it took me to over a year to get up the nerve to do it. he was very patient with me always assuring me he and the staff were there for me. when I finally had the surgery done I was very happy. I had a little problem with anxiety and he cancelled his office hours to come make sure I was ok, Not many drs. would have done that. im very happy I choose him and i am looking foward to working with him and his staff to reach my goal and have a healthier life. DR. Andrei is a very competent surgeon as well as o overall nice person.

My first impression of Dr. Andrei is that he is a very caring and nice person, since the first date that I went to his seminar. My impression has not change since I met Dr. Andrei. Dr. Andrei staff is very professional. Future patients should trust him. I know Dr. Andrei for more than 4 yearsand he is the same person. Dr. Andrei aftercare was the greatest. Dr. Andrei was very infomative addressing the risks of surgery. Rating from 1 to 10, I give Dr. Andrei a 10. I had my surgery on 9/15/08, I weighted 240 lbs., today 6/9/09, I weight 138 lbs. Dr. Andrei is one of the best doctor I have ever met.

i had a band revision and it went great! dr andrei was soooo caring and really made me feel at ease. the facility that i had the surgery in was great. everything just seem to fit like a glove. i would refer everyone that was seeking weight lost surgery help to dr andrei's office! his office staff is well informed professional but yet the bedside manner was caring. the total experience was great!

My first impression of Dr. Andrei was very positive. The impression never changed. Both him and his staff have always been very supportive and helpful. I would and have been very happy to recommend him, to friends, family and co-workers. It has been two years since my surgery and I still visit him regulargy for aftercare. He has support panels and regular meetings. I would rate both bedside manners and surgical competence as High..

My first impression of Dr. Andrei was awesome,very informative,educational on the procedures of the surgery.My impression of Dr. Andrei hasn't changed it's still awesome.The staff was very welcoming,intentive,all-round a plessure to treasure.There was nothing, not to like about him.Dr. Andrei is very compassionate towards people with that have weight issues, and wants them to succeed in life after surgery. He has a kind and caring heart.To see you succeed with weight loss afterwards, and get back to your new life.Extremly well, and on top of things. To see if you have any problems or concerns with the weight loss surgery. Dr. Andrei has a great structured aftercare program. That I attend every 3-4 months coming from out of state.I travel three to four hours away to get here, and it's worth the trip. He addressed the risk of surgey very well.Very informative, percise, very knowledgable,and to the point.How would I rate him over all with a scale between 1-100, 150-200 and than some.Both are AWESOME.

When I first met Dr. Andrei I knew right away that he was going to change my life. He was straight forward and knew exactly what I needed. Dr. Andrei has a wonderful bedside manner.
