Dr. Andrei and his staff are AMAZING. They helped me jump through hoops with my pcp & with everything else that needed to get done. I had a friend who had the Lap Band done by him a year ago and my sister had the RNY done with him as well 2 weeks prior. He remembers every patient. I had an issue one week post-op and I think he called me about 6 times in a 20 minute period to make sure I was en-route to the hospital immediately. I recommend him to ANYONE thinking about having the surgery. I drive about 75 mins to go to his office and it is well worth it !!!
I had my LAP RNY with Dr. Andrei 5 years ago (11/13/02). He is a very thorough and fully compassionate Dr. He keeps perfecting this surgery because now my husband is in the process with them for a hopefully Feb/08 surgery. He doesn't cut corners with anything and I was a brittle diabetic that wasn't stapled but hand sewn due to my morbid obesity. He took his time with me and the complications were NONE! Dr. Andrei remembers every patient he touches too! He still remembers many details of my surgery and we had a nice time last week (when my hubby had his consult) just remember how awful my condition was and how slender and muscular I am now with no diabetes, heel spur pains, sleep apnea, elevated liver enzymes, and a host of other disabilities that were a nightmare! My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. rnrnI recommend Dr. Andrei so highly and my husband is next! His new location is a center of excellence! That means they take care of every aspect from pre -op to post-op care (they know how to care for you immediately post op with the staff there) complete with weight management, dietician consult sessions, continued support/seminars FOR LIFE! You are \"family\" with them! They will not leave you. Attend as many support group meetings and seminars they offer. They will always be there for your success.
MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF DR.ANDREI WAS A GOOD ONE.HE IS VERY PERSONABLE AND LISTENS TO HIS PATIENTS.HIS STAFF IS GREAT ALSO ESPECIALLY DONNA.ANYTIME I CALLED SHE WOULD GET BACK RIGHT AWAY AND MORE THEN LIKELY HAVE AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION.THEY HAVE A GOOD AFTER CARE PROGRAM AS FAR AS THE NUTRITION PART.THE NUTRITIONIST PAM CALLED AND WENT OVER THE THINGS I WAS EATING AND THE THINGS THAT I SHOULD AVOID.VERY HELPFUL.I WOULD RECOMMEND DR.ANDREI TO ANYBODY CONSIDERING WLS.
He seemed very busy, but very thoughtful and he seemed to care about me as an individual.
My opinion has not changed.
The office staff are very knowledgeable and quite competent. There are several staff persona who are eager to help.
Dr. A provides a large staff to help with whatever comes up including his associate doctor.
Aftercare is EXTREMEMLY IMPORTANT to this doctor. His office schedules visits all year long at key times in the recovery process.
Yes.
In our initial consultation.
Excellent.
I experienced both. They were both excellent. I had some post-op seisures due to my high blood pressure. Dr. A was there with me holding my hand and directing my medical needs,
My first impression of him was wow. He is very approachable and patient. I went with my mom and he made us both feel very comfortable. He answered all of my questions as well as my mom's. He is so calming and very resourceful. He has an excellent reputation and comes very highly recommended. I feel extremely confident in him!! His office staff is very friendly and helpful. The office is very clean and accommodating.
I had my surgery on 11/24/04 with Dr Andrei at Robert Wood Johnson in New Brunswick. I just wanted to say that he is an excellent surgeon and I couldn't be happier. I am pain and complication free so far. His office staff has helped me for the past year in getting my approval from Cigna and when I did finally get my approval, Dr Andrei made special arrangements to fit in my surgery 1 week after receiving
the approval because of the short time I had left with my insurance company. He was scheduled off for the holidays but did my surgery the day before Thanksgiving and gave me so much to be greatful for
this year and many more to come. I would highly reccommend him, he is the absolute best.
Overall I am 110% satisfied!!
