My surgery was 11/18/08 and I feel great! The one thing I have to say is that if it wasn't for Dr. Nusbaum and his staff, I wouldn't have had the surgery at all. They are suppportive from the second you walk in the door and the support doesn't stop. He is an amazing, first class, surgeon and the trust I have in him is immense. I had a wonderful experience and truly believe it is because of him. Even when I tried to back out...yes, its true...he calmed me down and I have no regrets. Not only am I happy with him, several of my friends and family members have had surgery with Dr. Nusbaum and are happy with him as well. Many thanks to a wonderful team who supported me and guided me in the right direction from day one. Posted on 11/21/2008 |

I had my 1st. consult with Dr. Nusbaum yesterday (11-17-08) He was awesome! He made me feel SO comfortable. I knew immediately after him coming into the room that he was an excellent choice! He answered ALL my questions, he told me all about himself, how many weight lose surgeries he's performed and exactly what he does. I can honestly say there wasn't anything that I didn't like about him. The girls in the office...just as awesome! I'm looking forward to starting my journey to a "New & Improved Me" with Dr. Nusbaum and his staff =)) Posted on 11/18/2008 |

I had a remarkably smooth gastric banding operation a week ago (10/21/08). I am wonderfully pleased with my experience over the ensuing week. I had NO pain or nausea so far and I have lost 17 pounds in one week.
My experience with Dr Nusbaum has been great. His staff was very helpful in guiding me through the initial , pre-approval stage of getting my insurance company to cover the procedure. The Morristown Hospital staff, and particularly the surgical team, was professional, highly competent and very considerate.
My first post-op office visit was encouraging. Posted on 10/28/2008 |

All I can say is he is terrific! He put me at ease when I was petrified pre-op. Post op he has been wonderful! My recovery was a piece of cake and I owe it all to him! His staff is wonderful as well and are always very helpful when I call with post-op questions. His bedside manner is very caring, he is very conservative about your post op diet. His surgical competence and bedside manner are both as good as it gets! Posted on 06/12/2008 |

He is concerned with the obesity problem in America and is doing something about it. I am grateful to him for helping me with something I was unable to do by myself. He is very careful with his patients and honest about setting realistic goals. His office staff is very kind and very helpful. Future patients should have no hesitation. He is very conservative with post op follow up and post op dieting. There are three stages of post op dieting that advance very slowly over three weeks time until the first post op fill. He is patient, answers all questions, addressed all concerns, and comes highly recommended by me!
I went to him fully aware of what I wanted. I had researched the lap band, I had spoken with many people who had it, I was totally sold on it by the time I went to see him... [Click here for more] for a presurgical consult so my questions were few, my concerns were few and my misgivings were few. i was 100% prepared for the surgery before I even met him. He was referred to me by one his patients. If anyone reads this and chooses Dr. Nusbaum I pray they will have the same experience I had. But, go in prepared. Know what you are heading into before you make your choice.

I can only say great things about Dr. Nusbaum. My initial consultation changed my life. He gave me hope and was so understanding. I thought to my self that he must have given that presentation explaining the procedure to thousands of people but when he was explaining thing to me, he was talking to me. It was not a version he rehearsed before I walked in the office. Trust me when I say this was important because the first surgeon I saw before Dr. Nusbaum I had asked a question while he was doing his speech and he lost his place and had to restart form the previous slide.
During the whole process he was fabulous. He has a way about him that just keeps you calm and you just know you will be fine in his care.
If you live in New Jersey and are thinking about a weight loss... [Click here for more] procedure you owe it to your self to see Dr. Nusbaum.
There is nothing negative at all that I could say about Dr. Nusbaum or his staff. Top knotch care coming out of Livingston NJ!

Dr. Nusbaum is an excellent surgeon. I was very nervous and I had to wait a few minutes because my blood pressure went up a little. He came in and smile and held my hand and said you're going to do great dont worry.
He instructed me after what to do and not to do so I would have success. He is wonderful. Posted on 03/05/2008 |

When I first met Dr. Nusbaum, I was impressed by how warm and personable he was. He's a surgeon, after all. When he examined me and could tell that I was feeling self conscious about my fat back, he said "we're going to make it (the fat) all go away". I believed him. And he was right. From the beginning, his office staff was efficient and helpful. They helped me navigate managed care's hurtles and you know there were many. There was a strong emphasis on aftercare, vitamins, protein, the need to see a nutritionist or metabolic specialist and healthy eating. He addressed the risks but didn't scare me. I knew what I wanted and who I wanted to perform my RNY...finding Dr. Nusbaum was the best stroke of luck I've had short of meeting my husband. He was very professional, very careful... [Click here for more] and equally caring. I can't say enough about him and would highly recommend anyone considering RNY or Lap Band surgery see him. I've had NO complications whatsoever. I am 10 months out and have lost 120+ pounds. I will be forever grateful to him for his careful and caring work on my behalf. Unlike friends who have been treated at Morristown and other NJ hospitals and have had complications, Dr. Nusbaum's patients have nothing but raves for his surgical ability. Best of luck to you!

I found Dr. Nusbaum to be the BEST surgeon in the entire tri-sate area. He's extremely knowledgeable, meticulous, and cares about his patients. His staff is outstanding and is on top of everything. They return my calls quickly and are always happy to help. Dr. Nusbaum explained everything thuroughly before the surgery. When I was in the pre-surgery area at St Barnabas all the nurses I met told me, not only that I had the best surgeon but that they all loved him and they would go to him over all other surgeons! He did an outstanding job with my surgery. And has been there for me whenever I need him after my surgery. He takes a hands on approach to each of his patients and stays on top of us after the surgery. His program is comprehensive with a team of Dietitians, Metabolic... [Click here for more] Doctors, Nurse Bariatric Co-ordinators, Physical therapists and psychologsits. I've been attending his Obesity and Weight Management Center at the ACC since I decided to go ahead with the surgery. I highly recommend that you utilize all the resources that this practice offers. My surgery went so smoothly that it was more painful to go out and by my last car than it was to have my banding done. He's the man!

OK, I'm very skeptical about a lot of things and I approached Bariatric surgery the same way. I went to a seminar in Morristown, then one in Hackensack and yet another in New Brunswick. None of the surgeons impressed me. I'm a charge nurse in a busy ER and I can size up a doc quickly. Each one of them seemed like they were either hocking snake oil or were more interested in the money than anything else. Then we had a patient come into our ER with a blocked LapBand. She ate some food that she new that she shouldn't and it got stuck. She told me that her doc was Dr. Nusbaum. I said I've heard of him but I haven't gone to see him yet. She couldn't stop raving about him. So, I called his office to find he was on vacation at a conference in NYC. I told the service the problem... [Click here for more] and they put me right through to him. He was very nice and supportive. I put the patient on the phone with him. Afterward, she told me that she was leaving and that Dr. Nusbaum was going to meet her in his office even though he was on vacation. I couldn't believe it. The next day, the patient called me to tell me that everything was great. He took the fluid out, had her drink and flush out the food and then put the fluid back in and never even charged her. Well, I had to check this guy out. Every nurse I spoke with knew of him and had a similar story or had nothing but great things to say about him.
Long story short. All the stories were true. He did my lap band, I went down 86 lbs in about a year. Then, to my surprise I got pregnant. The reason I was surprised was that the infertility docs who had given me after 6 cycles of IVF that I would NEVER get pregnant. Wrong! I must say that Dr. Nusbaum is the most caring, intelligent, understanding and supportive surgeon that I have ever known. He will always go that extra mile for his patients and he cares very deeply about all of them. This seems very personal to him and he deeply wishes the best for all his patients. I can tell. There's no need to rate this doc. He's the best in my book and I've seen many.
