When I was considering VSG surgery I investigated many doctors especially ones that would be on my insurance. All my research and I kept coming back to one doctor. I was talking to my mother who had bariatric surgery 13 years ago and told her I just wished I new someone who used Dr. Schmidt. When I told her the name of the Dr. she laughed. He was her Dr. That immediately made me start the process and meet him for my initial appointment. The moment I met him I knew he would do my surgery. He was informative and made you feel very comfortable. His staff is wonderful. They took care of the insurance and helped me through the process. I also love having access to the nutritionist and RN's. The support after the surgery is awesome. I would strongly recommend Dr. Schmidt. I'm only 3.5 weeks out but I feel so much better. He's changed my life or the better!
Dr. Schmidt has shown to be a wonderful surgeon throughout this process! Although I am only a few weeks out of my surgery, I know I made the right decision with select Dr. Schmidt to perform my surgery. He was very informative in my consolation and made sure all my questions were answered on the day of my surgery. He also kept my family very will informed on the day of the surgery and was excellent in the hospital before I was discharged. Dr. Schmidt's staff were also excellent throughout the entire process before receiving the surgery. They answered all my questions and helped the approval process go as smooth as possible. They were very understanding and could relate how difficult this process was to receive the required approval. I would recommend Dr. Schmidt to anyone that is considering this procedure!
I cannot say enough how pleased I was with Dr. Schmidt. He is patient and has an excellent bedside manner. He let me ask him a million questions and didn't blink an eye during our initial interview. I researched this surgery for over a year before having it and went to 6 different surgeons offices before deciding. Once I met Dr. Schmidt, I knew he was my guy. Advanced Laparoscopic Associates is the complete package - support groups, dietitians, amazing surgeons and multiple locations. I really liked that I could go to an office in Jersey City and not have to drive to Paramus all the time!
Trust me - I did the research all across Hudson / Bergen county for a whole year so don't waste your time, just go with Dr. Schmidt and you will be in good hands!
