Rajeev Vohra Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

Excellent skillful surgeon. Weight loss center staff is also excellent and friendly. No complaints. If you are considering lapband surgery he is the one, very little scarring.

Hands of gold... he saved my life

When I met Dr. Vohra I was not sure what was the right operation for me. I wanted him to tell me. Well he didn't. He did tell me I needed to make that decision. He gave me information to review told me to come to seminars and let them know. I was not sure if I liked him. BUT he was honest with me so I did as he said. I think the guy is great! Only once did tell Dr Vohra that he had to smile more often and say hello- I truly believe he was so busy he forgot to do that. He has worked with me and I can see why he does things the way he does it. The office staff and hospital staff are the best- you can't ask for. They sit with you and help and talk. They have been wonderful to me and my family. I would recommed Dr. Vohra and his staff to anyone, I would recommend going to his seminars and going to the office to talk with his staff. I had some problems with my by-pass after the operation, but you have to follow the rules and ask questions. There are scheduled times to come back and follow up test to be done- DO THEM! This allows the Doctor and his staff to do preventive care. I was given lots of information maybe more of it should be on paper- you should take notes! I would say that Dr, Vohra is the best- I give him a 100!!

I am post-op 1 week. Dr. Vohra & staff @ New York Bariatrics & Laparoscopy, PC are a wonderful bunch of people. They kept me well informed of every step that I was going to take and the surgery went wonderful. I would & will recommend Dr. Vohra to anyone who asks. They were a friendly and warm group of people. My experience with this office & Surgeon were TOP NOTCH!!!!!! kudos kudos kudos. I did not experience any bad impressions they are willing to answer questions the support group helps the newbies & I would give Dr. Vohra a 10+ in book. He has single handedly changed my life.

Dr. Vohra

I just visited Dr. Vohra's office and was so impressed with the entire Bariatric Team. Dr. Vohra was extremely thorough in explaining all the various options to help me make a decision between the lapband and the sleeve. He really cared and too the time to answer all the questions I had. He has a full comprehensive pre and post program to keep me on track after the surgery. I had two friends who he did surgery on and they are both extremely happy with the results.

My first impression of Dr. Vohra was good. He was warm, friendly, patient, and concerned. His staff, Gail and Jill are great. They were thorough and positively upbeat. Future patients should have no concerns. Dr. Vohra is very competent in his area of speciality regarding laproscopic surgery. He did hesitate to explain to me his decision of why he entered this particular area of medicine. He was skilled in laproscopic procedures of the stomach, gall bladder, liver, etc well before bariatric surgery was the norm. For the lay person who isn't familiar, surgeons who practice laproscopic surgeries as practicing ADVANCED methods of surgery. This is a bonus for the patient. Less scarring, less infection, faster recovery, better results. He emphasizes aftercare a great deal. Signing up with Dr. Vohra I realize I will have a long relationship with him well after the surgery and that is important, aftercare. He thoroughly answered all of the \"tough\" and \"difficult\" questions regarding risk. I was at ease. I would rate him at a 8 or 9, not a 10 yet because I have not had my surgery!! Overall in my opinion surgical competence is vary better than beside manner. You want a doctor (surgeon) who knows what their doing. Visit Dr. Vohra's website or google him. You won't be disappointed. Glad I waited and made an educated and firm decision regarding MY health.

Dr Vohra answered all of my questions and conserns in a professional manner. He is not the kind of surgeon who will hold your hand but that is not what I was looking for. He is a skilled and extremely capable surgeon, that is what mattered to me. Dr Vohra's staff adds the warmer side people may be looking for.

My first impression was that he was all business, not very friendly. He has a wimpy handshake, but I don't go to him to make friends. He has a good reputation. His office has been awarded as a center of excellence. All of his staff is very friendly. He has a good after care program with support groups for lap-band and bypass. He must be a good surgeon, my operation went fine and his reputation speaks foir him.rnSurgical competence and bedside manner are both great, however surgical competence is more important.

my surgeon happens to be top at his game , and although I was undertaking a very serious surgery I was confident in his abilities to see me throuh with an wonderful outcome, He is the best and I knew I was in wonderful hands.
