Englewood Hospital and Medical Center (COE) Hospital
I don't know how to describe the service my daughter have had with this doctor.....she paid for the balloon procedure in CASH and every since the first time it has been a nightmare ,,,Day 1 Procedure day they were not able to put the balloon because she run out of Oxygen and the surgical place were not equip for that kind of emergency also they had no more balloon for the procedure....Day 2 the day after she was schedule again at 7AM but the doctor did not show up until pass 10am .....every since she had the balloon in her stomach it has been a nightmare nauseas vomiting etc.... three weeks after she has been in the hospital 2times and she still yet to see Dr. Stefanie Vaimakis she has call ones....If you are considering this Doctor please think about it three times before I don't want anyone to go thru what my daughter is going thru and lose there money since they don't explain the risk her life has been put on hold over a suppose simple procedure........Very disappointed with the hall process and how it has been handle. it should be a way to put no stars on the reviews......
Well, it's been three and a half years since Dr Ibrahim performed my lapband procedure. Just as he informed me from the get go, the process would be a several year commitment. Like most obesity patients, I wanted the weight to drop yesterday. Rather then having this mentality, I decided on a different approach. I made the decision for the lapband in order for the weight to decrease gradually. To date I've shed 135lbs, and have 20 more to goal. Dr Ibrahim is a top notch surgeon. Choosing him for my procedure was by far the best decision I've ever made. Every single office visit that I have, Dr Ibrahim is ALWAYS consistent. He provides superior service, and is always willing to answer any questions or concerns that arise. Also, Lana the resident RN is always there to assist, with a smile on her face. In addition, the doctors personal skills are wonderful, always putting ones mind at ease. I find it amazing that this guy is savings lives everyday, and never shows any signs of being haughty or pretentious. What you see is what you get..... A GREAT MASTER SURGEON THAT KNOWS AND APPLIES HIS STUFF. You need to look no more for the right bariatric surgeon. If you would like more info feel free to contact me at 848-448-0760....Regards...Frank Costa
First impression was fine. Both doctors Ibrahim and Strain conducted a 1 1/2 Hour seminar about the various bariatric weight loss procedures including all the benefits and associated risks. There was a slide presentation, including a wealth of surgical info. He also passed around the lapband as well, which was pretty interesting. His office staff are very competent. Future patients should know that I traveled 1 1/2 hours to Englewood Hospital to have the procedure done. This facility and the doctors on staff are in my estimation one of the best in the tri-state area. (Just a side point) After researching almost every cardiac thoracic surgeon in the PA, NY, and NJ area I decided to have my triple by-pass surgery there, in 2006. I would rate him very high for surgical competence, and bedside manner. I haven't found any negatives yet. But there's still time!!
Dr,V is half women...Half amazing! She is a seasoned,kind,caring medical professional at the top of her game. She runs a top notch practice which reflect the highest standard and modern tools.
She is pleasant, caring and delightful.
I highly recommend her and fully expect to be her patient as long as she decides to grace us with her craft. I have a profound respect for her as a doctor and as a women.
I am so grateful to God that he brought to Dr V, Dr V and her staff will go far and beyond to get you the proper resources before and after your procedure. I think for me the only bad thing I can say regarding the times that I have gone to any of the offices that they have is that is far from where I live, but knowing the lever of care I am getting is such a low price to pay.
To anyone who is considering surgery with Dr V, I say get to know her ask her questions, as I was told no one my my questions are dumb the only dumb ones were the noes I didn't ask : /
I hope that your experience with Dr V and her staff is as pleasurable as the ones I have had.
Dr. McGinty is an excellent surgeon. He is honest, caring and very professional.
