Valeriu E. Andrei MD Bariatric Associates Bariatric Center
I am currently 4 wks into my surgery and can say that it's been the best experience with the doctor and his staff; much more than I expected. During my stay at the hospital, Dr. Andrei took excellent care of me as well as having other doctors check of different medical concerns that were going on. Upon my release, his staff checked on me everyday (2-3 times a day) and if I had any concerns, problems or questions, I could call and receive a return call asap. If I could rate Dr. Andrei and his staff, they would fall well above the excellent status. Thank you for giving me the best experience and care I can receive and look forward to continuing my recovery with their office.
I've had an excellent experience with Dr. Andrei. He fully explained the process of pre and post surgery and took his time making sure this was the decision I wanted. There is nothing better than having a surgeon that fully explains and understands your questions and concerns. His office staff is extremely helpfull and curtious in any questions and concerns I also had. They assist you in understanding not only the process of the surgery but the importance to eating healthy and maintaining your eating habits well into completion of the process. Thank you Dr. Andrei and your staff for an excellent experience and your outstanding bedside manner. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor and office to work with.
Dr. Andrei and his staff are a pleasure to have as a physician. Some of them have had the surgery performed by him and they are a joy to talk with. They help you understand the in and out of the surgery from the patient's perspective. They work with you and help you to prepare and survive for life after sugery. They try to answer all the questions they can for you and are very helpful. i never felt like i was a bother to them. In fact they encouraged me to call them if I had questions or concerns. Dr. Andrei would be a good choice for anyone.
I am 6 months post surgery and 92 pounds lighter than when this journey began and I feel great thanks to Dr Andrei and his team. Usually going to a doctor's office gives me an involuntary negative reaction, but I look forward to my appointments with my nutritionist, Pamela. Pamela has been such a positive force in my life throughout this process. If it wasn't for her encouragement and support I would not have gone through with the surgery because my family was totally against the procedure. Pamela reminded me that this was my life and only I truly knew what was going on with my body. I can't think her enough as I watch the pounds melt away. Dr Andrei and the rest of his team continue to support me in each stage of my development. I highly recommend anyone who knows they need help in dealing with their weight issues to give Dr Andrei and his team a call! You will receive exceptional professional service, support and care from a dedicated team.
Presently, I am rather uncomfortable due to one of the incisions cut through muscle and old scar tissue from a previous pregnancy. Dr Andrei and his staff have been such a positive force now and throughout the preparation time for my procedure. I was given excellent care physically and great emotional support. If an individual believes that bariatric surgery is the route that they would like to go I would recommend Dr. Andrei as the best physician they will find in this industry. I do not regret having committed my life and health into his hands. Let me strongly reiterate that his staff and team of doctors are marvelous!
Best desion i ever made. The staff is great and make it easy for you to get use to this life changing process. Would do it again in second. No regrets.
I am days away from my 2 year point from my surgery and im pretty sure if i never came in here i would be dead. This surgery saved my life and never regreted a second of it. Hands down best service and the people are great!
Best decision I ever made hands down. changed my life. Everyone at the office is really nice and i am happy i did it.
I was initially very skeptical about any weight loss surgery. A close relative had had lapband surgery and raved about her results. With a recent diagnosis of Diabetes and a long-standing history of Hypertension, I knew I needed to lose weight in order to get on track to being healthy again, so she recommended Dr. Andrei and his practice. Meeting with him, was life-changing. After reviewing my health history, he surprisingly recommended Gastric Bypass surgery for me. I was devastated and I cried. He was very patient, caring, and took the time to explain the differences in procedures, the risks, benefits, and eligibility. He allowed me time to process this and to come to a decision on my own. His practice gives you an opportunity to meet and speak with patients who have recently undergone the different types of procedures for weight loss and to hear their experiences at different stages. Once I made my decision, the practice and I became a team. They were all involved every step of the way and afterwards. It has been close to two years since my procedure and I am still coming in for visits, communicating with the staff members and Dr. Andrei, having questions answered and problems solved. This level of aftercare makes the difference between success and complications. This practice is big on aftercare and yes, they offer a structured program. I owe a beautiful surgery, easy recovery, and miraculous restoration of health to this excellent caring and competent staff. I truly believe, that their expertise and patience are the key ingredients to getting anyone through their journey to better health. I highly recommend Dr. Andrei to anyone who asks me why I look so healthy, happy, and just great. I am a witness. God bless Dr. Andrei and his staff.
I am 20 months post op and I feel amazing. I am complimented all the time on my achievements and progess. Im in a bit of a plateau but hope to break out soon, making wiser eating choices. the nutrition staff at Dr. Andrei's office is great, they take the time to work with you one on one and answer all of your question. I highly recomment Dr. Andrei.
I've always been afraid of doctors, I thought of it like a mechanic, they fix one thing while damaging another just to keep you coming back, but this was an incredible journey. Dr. Andrei is skilled and caring. To him, You're not just a number, you're an actual person. He explained all the risks and benefits of the procedures and all the options available. My overall experience Pre - During and Post Op has been amazing. the Staff if knowledgeable and friendly, they took their time and answered all of my concerns. Anytime I call, I get a timely educated response. The aftercare is thorough and detailed. They call several times to be sure you are well and follow up just like they say they would. They've called me just to remind me to take my vitamins. I am currently 14 months post op and have lost 135 lbs, I've gained confidence and I got my life back. Thank you Dr. Andrei and your entire staff. You are truly the best.
I love all employees, they are so kind, friendly and take care patients needs.
Always they have a good word to increase your spirit and health.
