Valeriu Andrei Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

It was nice to have someone who was concern of my well being. Dr. Andrei is wonderful, great and there aren't enough words to say how I feel. The staff and just as greatas him, very concern and understanding.

Dr. Andrei took the time to explain everything you needed to know before the surgery and alos took the time to explain what would be the best surgery for me.

I would tell all my friends and have them tell there friends and family, if they were someone who would need surgery, he would be the person to make you feel confident and feel safety. I couldn't ask for better.

Thank you for all of your help to get me where I am today

DR ANDERI AND HIS STAFF IS GREAT. EVERYONE IS NICE AND HELPFUL. I FEEL LIKE THEY A RE FAMILY. HE TOLD ME ALL BOUT THE RISK. THEY CALL EVERY DAY AFTER MY SURGERY TO SEE HOW I'M DOING. THE DAY AFTER THE SURGERY I WAS UP AND WALKING, I EVEN WENT TO THE MALL. BUT I JUST HAD TO REMEMBER TO TAKE IT EASY. I FELT GREAT. THEY WANT YOU TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LOSSING THE WEIGHT. I WOULD RATE THEM 10 OUT OF 10. MY MOTHER IS EVEN HAVING THE SURGERY, WITH HIM AS THE SURGEON, THATS HOW WELL I TRUST HIM. I WOULD TELL EVERYONE ABOUT HIM. I LOVED MY WHOLE EXPERIENCE!!!

THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING IS THAT HE WANTED ME TO HAVE THE BYPASS BUT I WAS CONFIDENT IN WHAT I WANTED TO DO BEFORE I EVEN STEP IN HIS OFFICE. SO I HAD THE LAPBAND!!

Truthfully I was already so tired of letting my weight be the defining factor in my personal and professional life that I was ready to just get on with my life and move past it.

When I came to Dr. Andrei's office I met with an obviously competent staff who had a ready smile and answers for any questions I had. Dr. Andrei himself is very personable and explains things such as risks and benefits clearly and with compassion.

Today is my second post-op check up. He came by, grinning widely wanting to see me and some others and was genuinely happy to hear about our progress.

I give Dr. Andrei 5 stars for bedside manner, competence and being brilliant enough to surround himself with a great staff!

I started my journey in February 2010 with Dr. Andrei. I continued to attend nutritional classes until my surgery date of June 21st. The people at the office were the most informative, caring professionals I have ever encountered in a doctors office!! Since my surgery they have called me everyday to check on me. I will see them once a week or more if needed post op. I can call them anytime to ask questions and they do get back to me right away! I am extremely happy with my choice of doctors!!

Prior to meeting Dr. Andrei a family member told me that I would love him. She was correct! My first impression of Dr. Andrei was that he has a wonderful bedside manner. He was attentive and soft spoken with confidence. The office staff is kind and personable, overasll they are very professional and on top of things. Dr. Andrei is great at what he does, so he is in high demand, but I do not look at that as a negative. Aftercare and followup is very important. Patients are encouraged to use websites and forums in addition to support meeting with fellow WLS patients. Overall Dr. Andrei is a 5/5, he is a great surgeon and very personable.

Dr Andrei has been like no surgeon I ever met. During my decision process, I met with Dr Andrei for a consult. The amount of time he spent answering my question, addressing my fears, and informing me of the options/pros/cons was impressive. It is not just a surgery at his practice but an entire program. All of his staff is encouraging and inspiring. After the surgery, my impression has not waivered. He even called me personnally on Father's Day to check how I was doing and answer any of my questions.

It is hard to identify his best quality, as I would say I was impressed with his bed side manner and his surgical competency. He is a very cautious dortor, and requires a significant amount of testing before surgery. At times it felt exessive. But for me, I was happy with his cautious approach as I have a young daughter to think about!

I liked Dr. Andrei from the first time I meet him. He made me feel comfortabe. I felt that if I were to have this surgery, I would want him to be the surgeon. His years of experience and the amount of operations he had did have a great impact on my decision.

I would highly recommend him to anyone considering this surgery.

I espically like the fact that he and office staff are concerned about my well being after surgery. They call twice a day and want an update on how I am doing, and I think that is wonderfull.

I am please with the whole overall attitude of the staff and D. Andrei.

Risks of the durgery was addressed.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give Dr. Andrei a "10".

I had my surgery a week ago and I am feeling stronger and better each day. I know in the near future I will feel GREAT and I have Dr. Andrei to thank for that.

Dr. Andrei is very professional and his staff is terrific! They are in constant contact with you from before the surgery to after, letting you know what is happening all the time.
I had my surgery on June 10, 2010, and the procedure was fine, but I had a nightmare with the anesthesia. The anesthesiologist gave me so many medications, I felt "out of it" all day. I was nauseaus and felt terrible until it wore off.
The next day I felt great, and only had minor abdominal pain from the surgery.
I would rate Dr. Andrei and his staff a "10 out of 10".

Before even having my surgery. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Andrie and his support staff. We had monthly meetings with the nutritionist (Pam), who educated us on our various surgeries, just to make us feel a little less anxious. When I met Dr. Andrei he was very warm and made you feel like you were in good hands. After my surgery Dr. Andrei as well as his staff continued to make me feel very important. They checked on me daily with phone calls and weekly visits for 4 weeks. My experience with them was great. I would recommend him to anyone who is thinking about this type of surgery.

I first started this process of Gastric Bypass in Jan of 2010. I knew right away when I visited the office of Dr. Andrei it would be a great success. The staff is great pre op and post op. Myself and my family were highly impressed of the doctors care and ease of communication. After surgery Dr. Andrei called my house several times to check up on me, it is rare to find a staff that cares about its patients the way this office does. I would recommend this office and doctor to anyone thinking of having bariatric surgery.
