Amit Trivedi Bariatric Surgeon MD

my first impression was that he was very nice
The office staff was nice but i had to keep calling to find out my approval status. They were suppose to fax over my info to bc/bs and forgot so when i called a few days later, they realized they never faxed it. After surgery i didn't see Dr. Trivedi at all. I met w/Dr. Trivedi 4 days later and actually didn't even talk to him. I dealt w/his nurse who was very nice. She went over the aftercare w/me. The nurse did advise how important it is to stick to a diet after surgery cause the band isn't tightened yet and u could gain weight. Dr.Trivedi did advise me of the risks but didn't seem to make it as if the risks were that bad. i would rate him a very good doctor, i had no problems w/surgery at all. The healing went great. His bedside manner and surgical competence is great.

GREAT PHYSICIAN

GREAT DEAL

YES - BUT INDERSTANDS YOUR PREFERENCE

VERY THOROUGFULLY

GREAT PHYSICIAN

BOTH GREAT

I attended a seminar first and before Dr. Trivedi spoke, I knew if I had the surgery I would want him as my surgeon and that has not changed.
The office staff was very helpful and professional; however, I did sense a bit of coolness.

Presently, I am unable to answer these 2 question.


Dr. Trivedi put alot of emphasis on aftercare.
Yes

I feel very openly and honestly.

I think I hold on this answer until after the surgery.

Surgical competence is utmost to me but to have them both would be great.

Dr Amit Trivedi is a competent, warm, gentle surgeon. I was extremely happy with the gastric bypass procedure.

Office staff was busy but helpful.

There is a good post-op program ... with Kathy the Bariatric nurse and the Nutritionist.

He explained the risks at the seminar.

I would rate him A++++++++++++.

Both, medical competence AND bedside manner are important.

Quiet but to the point.
After first meeting with him saw that he was very sincere in his work and about my future.
Helpful but need to return phone calls

I was not very impressed with his bedside manner or his office staff. I was however very impressed with his skill as a surgeon. He is very unimpressionable. His office staff could be more supportive to their patients. My aftercare was not the best because his nutritionist was on vacation for the entire month i was post op. I was coming on to this site to get some information about the do's and don'ts about lap band surgery. I will say that the seminar they held was very informative and help me make my decision to have the lap band as opposed to the gastric bypass. I never saw the doctor during my hospital stay. I was seen by his assistant who was quite nice. I stayed overnight and was discharged by the same assistant. I would rate him as an excellent surgeon with a bedside manner that would need some tweeking.

Soft spoken and a warm bedside manner thats rare in Dr's today.


My impression changed after I met with him to disscus

He is now at Hackensack University Medical Center, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601

Dr. Trivedi is very professional and personable. I felt at ease and know that I have made the right choice.








Office staff, especially Autum are very nice.







Awesome.



He did emphasize the importance of after care and shared resources available to me at the hospital.

I liked Dr trivedi from the onset. I was orginally going to see his assosciate Schmidt but he had a longer wait and there was something about trivedi i liked. He is no longer in Florida he is now practicing in Hackensack, NJ. He was very thourough as far as the surgery My only complaint is that he does not have a complete program with aftercare as far as diet. I researched this mostly on the web. I really liked him he was very personable and if i had to do it again I would still go with him. He does stress the importance of support groups.
