CentraState Medical Center Hospital

Excellent staff, very clean, nice sized rooms, good experience.

Aug. 31, 2005, I had my surgery with Dr. Noyan at Centrestate Hospital in Freehold, NJ. Dr. Noyan is a caring, dedicated physician. My experience with Dr. Noyan was wonderful and rewarding. Nothing negative can be said regarding my surgery, pre and post op care, office staff, competence. Wonderful person and physician.

I loved him from day one.As soon as I talk to him the first time I knew he would be my surgeon.rn I have only had 3 visits to his ofice.I will compleate my statement later on on my road.

I really liked my surgeon when I met him for the first time. He let me ask questions and never hesitated on answering any of them. His office staff is also amazing and they are down to earth. They were laughing along with me. I know a patient of his already and when she recommended Dr. Noyan to me she was very pleased with him also and she has had her surgery done almost a year now and gone back for fills over that time. He has a great support group and also believes in helping his patients if he sees them start to slip up in their progress.

11/17/08: I first met with Dr. Noyan in October, 2008, when I went in to discuss both the Lap Band and the RNY procedures. He was very nice and talked to me about the pros and cons of each procedure. From what he said, it sounded like I would lose more weight more quickly with the RNY, and have less of an opportunity to \"cheat\" aftetrwards. He stressed the need to follow the same diet and exercise program no matter which procedure I chose. He gave me some material, including the upcoming dates for his support group which meets once a month.rnrnI met with the psych and NUT and had some tests done by the pulmo and cardio docs and I have been cleared for surgery. The date is Dec. 12th, but Dr. Noyan's office now has to send everything to my insurance for an official OK. His wife, Avril, who provides in-office counseling and is at the support group meetings, doesn't seem to think this will be a problem (I have Oxford and my BMI is 43), but I'm hoping to have all the paperwork together for submission by the end of the week. rnrnAt the first support group meeting, I would say that 99% of the people there had had RNY and everyone seemed pretty happy. There was a lot to take in that night for a first-timer, so I'm looking forward to the meeting this week to get some questions answered. rnrnI will update this after the surgery to address the rest of the points. I do wish there was something more in the way of meetings or info sessions prior to the surgery--right now I just feel like I'm marking time all by myself. rnrn12/15/08: Had my surgery last Friday. No problems, no complications ,and I am home now. Just a bit achy and sore, and I have a headache. I have an appt. to see Dr. Noyan this Thursday. My biggest question for him is why am I feeling hungry? And how do I know if I am feeling full? I get a pain in my chest, so I'm assuming that's the full feeling. But I pretty much always feel \"mouth hungry\" and spend a lot of time thinking about food.

My first impression of Dr. Noyan was that he was very friendly. His bed side manner was very professional and he made me feel at ease. He is very knowledgeable and i love his wife avril. I would recommend anyone to him.

Honestly I felt safe in his hands and he always seemed ready for anything. He has a good sense of humor and is very knowledgeable.

Though I had a VERY rough time with my RNY surgery, without it I would probably have not made it much longer at 450 lbs and growing. First off, Dr. Noyan is a very nice guy and does have a great bedside manner. After only 9 mos I'm already at my goal weight, off all medications and hopefully will be around for many years to enjoy life with my family and friends. I was approved quickly by insurance and the pre-surgery information was great, I felt completely confident with Dr. Noyan and accepted the risks of the surgery, of course thinking that I would come through everything OK. Unfortunately I'm one of the lucky ones that did have severe complications and nearly died as a result of my RNY surgery due to a leak and the ensuing madness. This is not the place to go into details but you can read all about it in my profile if you wish.

Dr. Noyan is a very kind man. When I went for my first consult, I had lots of questions. He took his time and answered all my questions in detail. Avril and Sheri are also very kind. Sheri always knows the right things to say to calm my nerves.

Dr. Noyan made me feel very comfortable and at easy. His office staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Noyan strongly stess after care and the importance of it during your journey. He throughly explained the risks associated with both lap band and bypass allowing me to make a decision on my own. I would rate him as excellent and would recommend him to everyone. He has both surgical compentence and experience and his bedside manner is great. He holds monthly support group meetings that are extremely helpful. I am glad I made the choice I did in my physcian and look forward to the day of surgery.
