I first heard about Dr. Andrei from a member of my church who highly recommended his services. From the first email I sent to his office, I knew that I had made the correct choice. When I scheduled my appointment and came into the office, all uncertainties and questions were eased by the professionalism from his entire staff. Upon meeting Dr. Andrei and speaking with him one on one, I was indeed pleased with the understanding of the procedure and expectation. The thorough followup in all areas of importance were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend this office and this Doctor to those in need of a life adjustment.
Dr. Andrei and his team are the BEST! I am not just saying this because it sounds good to say, but they truly are a great team of people.rnrnDr. Andrei himself has such a calm and approachable demeanor, which made it so easy for me to ask him any question that I had regarding the surgical procedure, recovery time, what to expect, and etc.rnrnI remember when I finally made my decision to go through with everything, I was given a checklist of different doctors to see and blood work to complete. The list seemed a little intimidating, but Dr. Andrei already had the doctors selected that he wanted me to go see. This made life so much easier, especially because all of these doctors weren't far from his office.rnrnThe nutritionist, Pam, is also someone that I just truly loved from the beginning. Her cheerful and motivational attitude really helped me to look at food in a different way.rnrnOverall, Dr. Andrei and his team, truly was a great choice that I am so happy I made, and I would refer anyone to him in a heartbeat!rnrn~Shelsie D.rnElizabeth, NJrn
Once the decision was made to go ahead with my surgery finding the Dr. that was right for me was next. After hours of research and reading reviews of dozens of doctors I decided to go to Dr. Andrei's office first.rnThat was all it took.rnrnFrom the very beginning the staff was great. From my first visit everyone was friendly, helpful and they are great at getting back to you. Everyone there seems to love what they do and helping their paitents suceede. I have never felt more comfortable in a doctors office before.rnrnDr. Andrei is great. Very streight forward and direct. He goes over everytihing with you, pros/cons, what you can expect, after care, etc...you will get all you questions answered. You can truly tell he cares.rnrnThroughout the process of getting insurance approval assistance and arranging a pre-operation plan for testing and preparing for surgery everyone was extreemly helpful. You always reach a live person and always get quick callbacks. They cover all the bases here!rnrnMy surger was fantastic. Everything went exactly as explained to me. I began my post surgery check-up's and the exceptional level of care and support is still there. rnrnIt is now up to me. I can not begin to truly express how great Dr. Andrei and his staff are.
ON the day of my surgery, I was very nervous cause you never know what could happened. But after it was done everything was fine. Dr Andrei is a very good surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. Who is considering doing the Gastric band. The staff are very nice and they will help you to accomplish your goal. But you also have to do your part, because it is not a easy job.
i had a great experience at the surgery center. i was a little nervous at first, but it was nice and clean and the staff there was wonderful. dr. andrei was waiting for me and made me feel great before the surgery. i experienced no pain. i am very happy with everything. pamela and the staff at the office are great.
If you a thinking of getting WLS Dr. Andrei is the only one I would go to. The caring from him and his staff can not be outdone. I first had the lapband in back in 8/2007. I lost over 100lbs. After such a great lost I thought I din't have to follow up. I began to gain wieght and after 6 months went back to Dr. Andrei. He did not make me feel bad and told me he would help me with what ever I decided to do. I had the Band removed and bypass on 8/14/2009. I am still learning about the bypass but his staff is following me closely (thanks Pam). I would not go to another surgeon if I was paid.
