Dr. Adam Naaman, M.D. F.A.C.S. Bariatric Center

I saw Dr. Naaman and his staff on 07/20/2000 on the advice of a friend. While the initial welcome to the office was "normal specialist" office, I was greeted warmly by his nurse - I was even told that I was the "smallest" patient that they had had during that day - I'm guessing that's a good thing! After the examination, I felt very informed of the procedure and possible risks and was given the opportunity to ask as many questions as I might have. He stated that he prefers to the Lap RNY, but will do it open if he finds it won't work out - whichever is the best for the patient.

He did state that he wants his patients on a full liquid diet for 6 weeks, then soft foods for 6 weeks, then as tolerated thereafter. Dr. Naaman encourages all of his patients to get back into their routine as soon as possible and to start an exercise program. He gave the impression that if you're not in this for the long haul, then you don't deserve this life-saving procedure!

The office had not contacted me in a couple of weeks, so I called on 08/03/2000. They stated that I had been approved by my insurance company with no problem!

He comes highly recommended. I've only met with him once, but my impression was that he was very professional & I have high hopes for the surgery.

His office staff has been very helpful with being a liason between my insurance and myself.

I wish that he would have told me a little more about the different kinds of WLS, since I've learned a lot since going to see him. He told me that he'd do a Laproscopic (if at all possible) Gastric Bypass, and assured me that one of the problems that I wouldn't have to worry about is the staples busting out. I didn't know that there were several kinds of Gastric Bypass...but I'll ask him about them when I go back in.

Since I'm at the beginning phase of things, I'd have to say that I like him a lot, I'll update as I know other information.
