Frank Borao Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S., FASMBS

Dr. Borao ROCKS! When I first met him, he was friendly, confident, listened to all my concerns, and was reassuring. I knew then and there that he was the surgeon for me!<p>rnrnHis office staff is quite friendly, and Laura works her tush off to get all the paperwork through...she's amazing!<p>rnrnAftercare is essential, and there is a structured program both pre-and post- operatively. No silly hoops to go through - don't get me wrong, there was alot to do, but it was all necessary, and made me feel completely sure that wls was the way for me to go.<p>rnrnDr. Borao ran into ALOT of trouble when he got inside my torso, but he was a trooper, stuck it out, and cleared up some previous pre-existing issues that we didn't know were there (lots of scar tissue). Probably saved my life. I was surprised that he didn't just take a look inside, say, \"well, this is a little more than we bargained for\", and close me up. Nope. He did it all. I can't tell you (or him) how grateful I am. I can't recommend him enough!

I had gastric bypass surgery March 27,2007 and is currently 54lbs lighter!! My first impression with Dr. Borao was a pleasent one. He was very professional, and explained everything that was intailed with the surgery. I have only grown to like him even more with every office visit. The office staff is amazing!!! Laura is a doll.. I have nothing at all negative to say about him or the office. Anyone who is concidering using Dr. Borao should know he is the sweetest Dr. with exceptional bed side manners, also he is very careing and compassionate, something you don't find very often in a Dr. Dr. Borao makes it very clear you must take your vitimins and make sure you get your protien. He also recommends you attend the support group meetings. He went over what risks are involved with gastric bypass surgery. Overall I was very satisfied with him and the office staff and I would recommend him to anyone who is concidering the surgery.

So far so good, Dr Borao and staff seem very nice and helpful.

Great 1st impression..he came highly reccomened..office staff is great always willing to anwser a million ?s I would tell anyone to go see him who is thinking of getting WLS.

'I felt very comfortable with Dr. Borao from the very beginning. His staff was helpful and he explained everything in depth.They have a very structured program including Nutritionist

What do say to someone who has saved your life? Who has given you the tool to stop the yoyo dieting as well as feeling in control of your food portions? Dr Borao is truly my guardian angel and hero. I was suppose to have my gastric bypass @ another hospital. But the doctors there split up the practice and I was left with finding another doctor.
Dr Borao and his staff @ Monmouth Medical Center were very compasionate, informative and most of all caring. I could never thank them for all they have done to help me get reapproved with a new surgery date. and without being stressed out about this.
As far as the after care goes, I feel the program @ Monmouth is much more rounded because they have the psychologist there @ every meeting. I feel this is very important because he there to answer any questions to any one @ any stage of the program before, during and of course after.

My first impression of Dr. Borao was that no Dr. has ever taken the time to listen to my concerns like Dr. Borao has. He did not talk down to me. As time passesI am only more impressed and grateful he is my surgeon. His staff is the best! Caring, kind, knowledgeble What i like best about Dr. Borao is his ability to put a nervous patients fears at ease. Future patients should know they will not regret going to see Dr. Borao There is a structured after care program and a wonderful monthly support group where a patient can form bonds with others who share your same concerns The risks of surgery were addressed first and foremost. On a scale of 1-10 Dr. Borao is a 12. Surgical competence and bedside manner are equal to me.

<b>My first impression of Dr. Borao was he has wonderful bedside manner and truely cares about his patients. His staff is and was always helpful, competent and generally really nice. My opinion of him has not changed and I am happy to be a patient of his.</b>

Dr. Borao is a wonderful and competent surgeon. At the time of my surgery, 11/03, his office staff left much to be desired. If I wasn't in the medical field I would have been lost in the shuffle. However, since then he has added new staff and now has a more efficient bariatric program associated with Monmouth Medical Center. I have faith that Dr. Borao's practice will continue to provide quality health care to bariatric patients.

Dr Boroa is very professional and explained everthing to me. I am very happy I decided to wait the year for his expetise and knowledge. my advice to all on here is make sure who the docs are and make sure you check their track record.

His staff has been wonderful even called to move my srgery up a week if i had wanted but due to wrk it was not possible! they have been very helpful. Phyliss rocks.
at this point no dislike with either doctor or staff.
future patinets should know that Dr Borao is a very compident and skilled surgeon. his track record speaks for itself. he is worth the wait of the year it took.

the staff ofers support meeting, ditician and drs services if needed also emphizises how important exercise and following your diet is for optimal results.

Dr Boroa dicussed all the risk possible and what could happen such as blood clots, how serious this surgery is and how very important it is to follow his instructions.

I would rate him a top notch surgeon in the fiels he is highly skilledand his patients are very loyal to him and yes I would rercomed him but you will have about a year wait but it truly goes by very fast!

As far as his bedside iwill soon find out. as a medical professional I know his skill are top notch and he has a stellar reputation in NJ.
