"UPDATE: I had my surgery with Dr. O on May 19 and I am still very happy I chose him! His office has been great throughout the whole process, and the hospital staff took great care of me as well. Its been 3 weeks since my surgery and I'm feeling very good. Including my pre-op diet I have now lost almost 40 pounds. :-) I would definitely do it again. Thanks Dr. O!
I was very happy with my consultation with Dr. Onopchenko. He was very kind and I felt comfortable speaking with him. I did not feel any judgement as I usually do from providers when discussing weight related topics. He was very knowledgeable and answered my questions thoroughly. He provided his expert advice and recommendations while acknowledging my thoughts and preferences. I feel very confident that he will be performing my surgery. He has done many many surgeries and his safety statistics and weight loss results are very good. I am now in the process of completing all of my evaluations, clearances and dietitian visits. The whole staff of the practice have all been wonderful. I can have my questions answered quickly and easily and all appointments have been scheduled conveniently. I have never waited more than 5 minutes at an appointment with them. The office works together to ensure all required aspects for insurance coverage are followed correctly which takes the worry off of me. They gave me a packet of paperwork to keep track of all I need to do, with phone numbers and addresses of multiple providers in the area. This was very helpful. Based on my experience so far, I highly recommend Dr. Onopchenko and Atlanticare Bariatrics."
