I had the gastric bypass surgery a year and a half ago. I have lost 90 pounds and couldn't be happier!! My total experience with Dr. Spivak and his staff has been such a pleasant one from start to now. Everyone is so nice and so helpful. I always recommend Dr. Spivak to all those who ask me about what I did and how I did it to lose all the weight. I have no regrets and would do it all again in a heartbeat! I so appreciate all Dr. Spivak has done for me--he has changed my life!rn
The decision to have the surgery was a well-thought out decision as chosing the surgeon. I made the correct choice: Spivak. I have referred 4 other patients to Spivak who did have the surgery and are extremely satisfied with Spivak. The staff is helpful andw walks one through the entire process.
Dr. Spivak is a great,He cares for his patiens, he is honest and he is the one Dr. you can trust... His staff is wonderful, Rachel is very nice and kind, Jessica does good xrays,Brenda is like a mom just ready to help at all times.Bea is a nice person wants everyone to be succesful with there suregery and am going to miss her.
First impression was he is not here to sell me on a surgery he is here to help me decide what is right for me.rnMy impression just improved every time I have gotten to talk with him or listened to what he had to say or read one of his papers.rnHis office staff is amazing and all of them are willing to go out on a limb for you. rnThere was nothing that I disliked about him or his staff.rnHe is off the chart and an amazing man and truly cares about his patients.rnHe stresses over and over that this is not a quick fix it is a life change and a tool to help you, but you have to be willing to do the work.rnYes they have a structured aftercare program.rnHe tells you the inns and outs of this surgery.rnHe is off the charts in rating.rnBoth are off the charts.rn
I had attended numerous information sessions before attending Dr. Spivak's session on bariatric surgery. I was impressed with his honesty and forthrightness regarding weight loss surgery. When I attended other information sessions, I felt like someone was trying to \"sell me\" something. Dr. Spivak took the time to help me decide what procedure was best for my personal situation. He regarded me as an individual with individual needs and situations. I knew more about what to expect of myself after visiting with him for 15 minutes than I did from all the other visits combined. It has been 18 months since having Lapband surgery, and I have lost 120 pounds. I am more confident in the partnership that I have with Dr. Spivak and his staff than ever before. The entire staff is professional, personable and dedicated to helping each person attain their dreams. I always feel welcome when I go back no matter how long I've been away.
It all started out as a very good experience. I went to a seminar that was VERY INFORMATIVE, more then any other seminar I had attended. Dr. Spivak was very helpful to answer every question/concern that I had before, during, and after my surgery. Although I was a bit afraid everyone at Dr. Spivak's office was very supportive. Dr. Spivak is not just a surgeon but a very good man. His staff is a bunch of very good down to earth people that have always made me feel comfortable to come in for my fills. I have other friends and family that are patients of Dr. Spivak and they too have a good experience through their process. It has been one year since my surgery and I'm so happy. Thanks to lapband and a GREAT Dr. I am the size I was 5 years ago :o)
After researching many weight loss options and doctors I felt extrememly comfortable choising Dr. Spivak and the band. Upin first meeting Dr. Spivak I was impressed by his countanence and compassion. He is such a sweet doctor who cares deeply about his patients and wants to see them succeed and live healthy, happy, lives! Since my surgery in 2003, I have done just that! The aftercare program has helped me maintain a healthy weight and encouraged me to continue my new lifestyle. Dr. Spivak gets top rating from me! A true 10! His surgical competence and bedside manner are equally great and overall he is a wonderful man and an amazing doctor!
Dr. Spivak made a great first impression on me. Over time it became evident that my first impression was correct. He's open and direct and very easy to talk to. The staff has been consistently responsive to my needs. Anyone looking for a surgeon should kno10 w that they can totally trust Dr. Spivak. I was given lots of material about aftercare as well as all aspects of the surgical process. I would rate Dr. Spivak a 10 out of 10. He is competent surgically and has a great bedside manner. I am confident in recommending him.
