Dr. Andrei is a good and qualified surgeon.rnHe is very cautious and experienced.rnHis bed side manner after the surgery is a little quick, you have to slow him down and get your questions answered. His office staff is awesome , resourceful and extremely helpful. There is an abundance of information you can receive daily from his office. The surgery was an ordeal which does encompass alot of pain and uncomfortableness. You have to eat and drink so slowly. The process is gruesome but definitely worth it as you see the pounds coming off. I'm only 2 weeks since surgery so I am still rating the other services.
Doctor Andrei was an excellent surgeon. I was referred to him by both of my parents who had the same gastric bypass 6 and 8 years earlier. Him and his entire team were very informative, helpful, and all around a perfect choice if you are thinking about getting this surgery. I am writing this two weeks after the bypass surgery, and I must say, I haven't felt this energetic in a long time. The surgery was done flawlessly, with minimal pain or discomfort. Anyone serious about planning to get this surgery or the lap band should definitely come see Doctor Andrei. I'm sorry, but I really do not have anything negative to say about Doctor Andrei and his staff.rnrnJust one bit of advice: make sure you are positive about this surgery. It is life altering, but not a walk in the park. Even with the short experience I've had with this surgery, if I had to do it all over again, I'd say, \"Yes.\" in a heartbeat.
I have been with Dr. Andrei for the last 5 years. Being a healthcare provider I researched various surgeons before making my choice. I appreciated the throughness and attention to detail displayed by Dr. Andrei. In addition, Dr. Andrei's care and compassion was an added plus. I had originally had the lap band procedure and just recently the gastric bypass. Dr. Andrei has always been attentive, caring and professional throughout my journey. His assistance with getting me approved for both surgeries was exceptional. Besides all that he has done in order to prepare me for the surgery, his follow up post op is the best that I know in my experience. His office staff is an added plus. I have called frequently for assistance and/or questions. THe staff are always quick to assist and frequently call to just check in. I would highly recommend Dr. Andrei for anyone pursuing bariatric surgery.
My first impression of Dr. Andrei was very positive. When I spoke with his staff on the phone they were very professional. They listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. I am a true believer that your first impression means alot. I love Dr. Andrei and his staff. They are so nice and understanding. Throughout my process I was very nervous of not know ing what to expect and what to expect. The days leading up to my surgery I must of called the office a million times with questions. Although I did my research it just made me more confortable talking to Dr. Andrei's staff. On my reborn date, I was extremly nervous. I cried, prayed, prayed and cried. I was more concerned about the staff at the surgery center than myself.I wanted to make sure everyone was well awake and they were. I did have some discomfort after surgery but now it is 3 weeks after my surgery and I feel great. When I walked into this office I was 230pds and 2 weeks after the surgery I was 206pds. I just want to be healthy and Dr. Andrei, Pamela and his staff is making that possible.
