To Dr.Vaimakis and everyone in the office,
Hi ,This is Andrew Roberts and I had my Lap-Band surgery two weeks ago and I am feeling amazing.To anyone looking to chose a Dr.and an office to do the surgery if you dont choose Dr.Vaimakis your making a mistake.I saw many doctors but I knew from the first time I saw and met Dr.Vaimakis that she was my choice.I have never been associated with a Doctor who is as sweet and caring about her patients as she is.When I had the surgery she was there to visit me in the hospital both days,any questions that needed answering were given an immediate response.When my mom had a question she left a message and a call was returned within ten minutes.Like I said you will never find a doctor who cares as much as Dr.Vaimakis does.Now that was the surgery part,leading up to the surgery there is alot work to do and Sandra made it very easy and handled all the situations with the insurance company,and made sure everything was covered..Sandra,was always there for any question.From experience no other office does this,they make you do your own calls.I am not an easy person to deal with and Stella in one word was simply amazing,she set everything up for all my tests,and explained everything to me.I spoke to her five times a day and with any question I had she was always there for me.I couldnt ask for a better Doctor or a nicer office to work with.I look foward to my first adjustment.Thanks to everyone in the office who I didnt mention,and thank you again for making this experience so smooth.

I have been seeing Dr. Vaimakis since I had my surgery for a Lap Band about four years ago. I thought I was doing rather well kept off my weight loss through the years (something I was never able to do before). Dr. Vaimakis picked up immediately on some problems that I was having sent me for testing to see if the band had slipped. When Dr Vaimakis found the band did slip she was so supportive first to explain the issues and the alternatives I had; I chose to replace the band with a new more up dated one. I went into the hospital on Friday Dr. Vaimakis visited me over the weekend each day and spend all the time I needed to answer any of my questions I had the band replaced on Mon Dr. Vaimakes visited me everyday in the hospital; she called myu family right after the operation to let them know all went well (including removing a hernia which I had) I left the hopsital on Friday with no pain from the band replacement. Dr Vaimakis has been caring and has given me a lot of support always on call for me she and her whole staff is caring and interested in everyone they see. They are wonderful -\" Thank You Dr. Vaimakis for being there for me 1000% of the way.rnSincerelyrnLaura SteinrnCliffside Park, N.Jrn201-947-1533

I had bariatric surgery on January 27 2009rnrnDr Vamakis made the experience less stressful with her easy going way. Her office staff is very easy to work with. Dr. V was very up front with me explaining the risks and explaining what exactly to expect before and after surgery.rnrnShe visited everyday and although the days immediately after surgery and weeks to follow are challenging, she tells you like it is...This is what is going to be...and it is what she said it is. Stick to the stages...rnrnI feel much better knowing I have Dr. Vamakis there. rnrn

Dr. McGinty, is one of the best WLS surgeon in New York....He has given new meaning to the word...Let me make you over. Beside doing the surgery, he continues to work with you until you reach the goals, that you have set out to accomplish, with the WLS.......

Dr. Vaimakis is an excellent surgeon. She not only cares about the weight loss before and after surgery but she wants to make sure you are feeling your best and the ways she has helped me are innumerable. She is great to speak to and made sure i was completely aware of everything that was going on at all times.

When I first met Dr. Vaimakis I was very nervous. I wasn't sure of what type of questions she was going to ask me, especially regarding my weight history. I had done so much damage to myself from taking diet pills, doing liquid diets and failing at all these quick diet fads. Dr. Vaimakis made me feel so comfortable, I felt like I was just talking to one of my closest friends about my weight struggle. In my mind I felt that once the surgery was over I would be stress free and it would be an easy road, but of course the Dr. Vaimakis warned me of all the things that could happen with the band. She explained to me that this is just a tool to aide in weight loss and I have to be totally committed to the process. Her office staff are very pleasant and easy going. My approval came so fast that I couldn't believe it. I think if they didn't work so hard to get me approved I might have changed my mind about the surgery. On the day of my surgery Dr, Vaimakis was right there making sure everything was going smoothly before I went into the operating room. She always greets her patients with a smile and that just makes you feel like she is genuinely concerned about your well being. I have already recommended people to use her as a surgeon because there is nobody else I would trust.

I had my lap band surgery in October and already have shed 30 pounds. Dr. Vaimakis is an excellent surgeon with the patients best interest at heart. The staff is wonderful too! I've been struggling with my weight my entire life and I think I finally have a handle on things thanks to her.
