My first impression was very postitive. rnMy impression continues to change for the better. Her staff is wonderful and helpful. Her easy way of explaining things, no lecture no attitude just really wanting to see me succeed. I have nothing negative to say at all.rnFuture patients will have that very soothing feeling and lose a lot of fear about the procedure. Great emphasis on after care. Yes she tells you how to do your after care fully. She addressed all risks and if they don't phase you like me, you'll know your ready. I give my surgeon a rating of excellent. rnBoth are great.
I had originally gone to another surgeon in Dr Pucci's group and was not happy at all after our initial consult. I went to Dr Pucci's office with all my consults done and he explained the procedure and all complication at our first consult. I finalized my paperwork for the insurance company and Dr Pucci's office faxed my info to my insurer on a Monday and I was approved on that Tuesday. I had an appointment within a week to schedule my surgery and I was given the date I wanted without a problem. Overall my experience so far with Dr Pucci has been very pleasant.rnrnI am 3 days post op and I am still very pleased with my surgeon. He found out my pain meds were stopped because of a problem with my IV and ordered me some percocet to counter the pain. My surgeon was there to visit me a few times while I was in the hospital. I am due to go in for my post op appointment next Tuesday, I will write more then.
Dr. Stefanie, is wonderful! Besides being an amazing surgeon, she is down to earth, and takes the time to explain everything involved in this procedure. Not your typical surgeon by any means (Thats a good thing)!!rnrnHer office staff are just as wonderful. Christine is great, and really bends over backwards to make this process as easy on the patient as humanly possible.rnrnThe aftercare programs are comprehensive and for life. rnrnOverall up to this point, i would recommend Dr. Vaimakis to anyone seeking bariatric!
very competent. I had great care. Very informed and did not try to sugar coat the risks. My follow-up appointments were all conducted by Dr. Alperovich. Since Dr. Strain has moved I am now a patient of Dr. Alperovich. Both were involved with my surgery. I think Dr.A is fantastic. he is very dedicated to his patients and his work.
He is amazing, brilliant, kind and compassionate. He is truly a genius and an artist. However, the program is a little so so. rnrnrn If you are in the north shore area of Massachusetts, go to North Shore Medical Center and find Dr. Fredrick Buckley. He and his program are both fabulous. That is the program I am in know as a post - op as I moved back to Massachusetts after my surgery.
FYI: Dr. Strain is in practice in Englewood, NJ at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center with Dr. Ibrahim Ibrahim. Bergen Bariatric Center, 350 Engle Street, Englewood, NJ 07631 201-227-5533
I love Dr. Vaimakis. She was so sweet and easy to talk to. She did a great job. I can't thank her enough.
Dr. Ibrahim is a very serious, get down to business kind of surgeon. I then went to his seminar and realized what all the hype was about. This is a surgeon that really cares about his patients. He wants communication now and five years later. His nurse is Lana and she is excellent. No question is stupid. What I liked best about their office (which is probably the most sparse office I have ever seen) is that there was no before and after. Dr. Ibrahim does not want anyone to have this surgery if it is for cosmetic reasons. This is a serious surgery and he treats it as such.
I am two years post op. I had my gastric bypass, gallbladder, and hernia operation through Dr. Vaimakis. She is awesome!!! She is so thorough with her pre op testing and exams that are required for surgery. You can call with any questions you might have or if you have a concern she will put you at ease. She truly cares about her patients. I can not thank her enough for giving me a life free of obesity. -Debra
