Valeriu Andrei Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

My first impression when I met Dr Andrei was that he was mean-but he was testing me to see if I was serious about weight loss. He actually motivated me to lose 30lbs before my surgery. His staff is top notch. They are very thurough and nothing is forgotten. The classes are informative before the surgery. After care is great. I am very happy so far.

I WAS NERVOUS AT FIRST.DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.I GOT TO KNOW THE OFFICE STAFF AND DOCTOR ANDREI HIMSELF.THE NERVOUSNESS WENT AWAY AS I SAW JUST HOW COMPASSIONATE AND CARING THESE PEOPLE TRULY ARE.DOCTOR ANDREI KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING AND I TRUST HIM WITH MY LIFE! THIS PROCCES CONTINUES TO CHANGE MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER AND I RECOMEND PEOPLE NEAR OR FAR TO RESEARCH HIM .CALL HIS OFFICE.MAKE AN APOINTMENT AND THEN SEE FOR YOURSELF WHAT I JUST WROTE.

I can only make very positive statements about Dr Andrei and his entire staff. From my initial visit to the surgery and the follow up care everything have been professional and caring. The staff and Dr. Andrei are well organized and very clear about what I needed to do during all aspects of this process. I especially want to thank the women from the pffice, Sherri, Pam , Shannon and Minnie for all their help and support.

When I had my initial consultation with Dr. Andrei, I knew I was making the right choice. Dr. Andrei was very warm and honest about my situation. The decision to have the Gastric Bypass Surgery is one of the best decisions that I have made in my entire life. rnrnThe support that you receive from Dr. Andrei and his staff is awesome and I cannot say thankyou enough for everything that they have done for me thus far. rnrnMy surgery and recovery went well and I had no complaints. Of course there was some discomfort but I was in good hands throughout my ordeal.rnrnThanks Dr. Andrei and Staff!!!!

Well today is 9 days out and I haven't felt this good since I was in my 20's. I had zero pain after surgery and the care in the hospital was well worth the 2 hr. drive to have it at Saint Barnabus.rnrnDr. Andrei is a warm and caring doctor and the staff is just wonderful and possitive.

He made me feel like i was going to be okay, i was worried about it and ready to back out. he was alwasy avaliable if i had any questions. he made sure i had everything i needed and kept in touch with me threw the whole proccess. he is a wounderful doctor. it was the best choice i mad coming to him. not only is he amazing but the team he works with is so caring. i never once felt like there would be a problem. he is the greatiest.

Had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy after much consideration about which procedure would be best for me. Dr. Andrea and his staff are very caring and considerate for a patient population usually looked down upon by other doctors. Medical clearance was thorough and fast, surgery day came almost without a warning. Surgery went well, with no complications. After a two day hospital stay, I was recovering at home. Pain experienced, although subjective, has been minimal. I work full time to support my elderly parents, and was able to go back to work withing a week and a half's time as a nurse. After years of failure at weight loss, I finally hasve hope that this procedure will bring me success. Thank you Dr. Andrei and his wonderful staff.

I couldn't wait to have my surgery, although it was scary leading up to the surgery itself. Everyone involved with Dr Andrei is so helpful and friendly.....wonderful even!rnDr Andrei, himself, is thorough and fabulous. From my first time meeting him, to the operating room. Dr. Andrei and his staff have called since my surgery and have answered any questions i've had...which were few because of the thorough preparation pre op.rnrnI'd do it all over again with Dr.Andrei...too bad he just does bariatrics!

Original lapband 4+yrs ago...very successful, lost 70+lbs within 6 mos which I kept off without difficulty over past years. Started experiencing terrible indigestion after 4 yrs post op as I had prolapsed. I had to have fluid taken out of my band, and gained approx 12lbs back. After I replaced lapband 6 weeks ago I relost the 12lbs and feel great! I was under impression that this would last for life, and was amazed that after 4 yrs of feeling great, this happened. My goal now is to lose another 30 lbs and keep my band for the rest of my life!

I have alot of mixed feeling at the moment I am one week after surgery and feeling well. I love my surgeon and am very excited to move on with the process. The staff is extremely helpful and caring. I am looking forward to a whole new life ahead filled with hope and a renewed me.
