Einstein Healthcare Network Bariatric Center

I only had my first appointment with Dr Tholey. I'm looking to have wls in about 6 months due to the mandatory diet for my insurance. So far Dr Tholey has impressed me with how comfortable she made me feel. I even willingly pulled up my shirt exposing my giant white belly. (Look, I don't even like being in the same room when I'm naked lol) anyway she talked me through everything explaining in great detail even drawing her own diagrams to be sure I knew what she meant. Meeting her had made me more sure and confident in this choice. She has a great sense of humor this is very important because this is my go to defence mechanism. Dr Tholey if you ever read this..... Thank you! I'll be back to give my more advanced revue in 6 months.

I highly recommend DR Dallal. He is an ace.

I am on my third week of sleeve surgery and all I can say about Dr. Trang is he is one of the BEST Doctor's ever!! I love love love him! he made me feel comfortable from the first time I met him and through the whole surgery process.I will continue treating myself with him and recommend him to anyone who is interested in having sleeve! Thank you Dr. Trang!

Awesome surgeon , he helped me regain my life by losing 103lbs :-) he is very knowledgeable and skilled. I felt little pain after the vertical sleeve surgery and the scars are hardly noticeable(cat scratches at most) . I'm very happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone considering surgery A+..

I didn't know what to expect going to the seminar butDr Trang was so thorough and informative that I could barely come up with questions to ask. He doesn't sugar coat things! I am one year out now and I love him even more. I have had some bumps in the road and he was always willing to pick up the phone and calm me down. Helped me understand everything and always made sure I was not just losing weight but staying HEALTHY!! It isn't about making money to him- he loves helping people and cares about the patient. He is also a perfectionist which makes me very comfortable. His personality and his skills as a surgeon/doctor make him priceless in my book. It isn't easy to find a doctor you are extremely comfortable with but he has never disappointed me.

The pre and post program are extremely thorough. They are difficult but it is major surgery. Everything about their program is structured. Einstein Bariatrics seems to have an amazing program. It has certainly been successful for me.

I went from a size 26/28 to a size 8 in one year. I am down 145 pounds :)

Met Dr Trang at the information session that the hospital holds. He always tells it like it is and is like that to me to this day. Personally I like that he is blunt and to the point but I guess that could be the only fault that one could come up with. Dr Trang explains everything to the T. I never came out of a meeting not knowing what i was getting into. He explains everything beautifully. The office staff there could not be any nicer. Never had a problem and even help me fight with the insurance company. I would and will recommend Dr Trang to anyone who would like to get a RNY done.

Dr. Dallal saved my life on 12/6/2010. I did not have my original surgery with him in 2004. I won't say who that surgeon was but I've had complications since then.

First I should tell you how I became a patient of his. March 2009, I went to another hospital in a lot of pain. I thought I had ovarian cysts turns out that I had a twisted bowel. Dr. Dallal's partner Dr. Trang did emergency on me and saved my life that time. So I became a patient .

On 12/6/2010 when I was having a lot of pain I knew I had to go to Einstien for help. Dr. Dallal was on call that night and saved my life. I had another twisted bowel and a blocked bowel. He operated for 4 hrs in the middle of the night to save me. I spent 9 days in the hospital. 5 days in CCU. I had a feeding tube for about a month. I have an open wound (because it got infected) that is healing very nicely.

Dr. Dallal was so worried about me after the surgery that I would have complications. Him and his staff have been so wonderful. The hospital staff were incredible too. Dr. Dallal has his own floor in the hospital for his patients to recovery. That means all staff on the floor understand what you are going through.

I would not be alive today if it was not for him, his partner, Dr. Trang and his staff. Thank you for saving my life.

PS - His after care since I have been home has been great too. He listens to me when I come in for an appointment. My original surgeon did not.

I am very pleased with my surgeon...He was attentive to my needs, and he made me feel very comfortable, and safe. He took the time to see personally how i felt after the surgery took place. Always very professional. Appointments were with in a timely manner..no long waits..I loved him. Would recommend him to anyone. I know that my comments may sound like he's perfect..but, to me he was..I had no major problems after my surgery experience and i was home in a day or so...

Love, love, love him!

My surgeon was wonderful and his office staff is the best. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There are staff members that have had the surgery themselves and have openly discussed their experience with WLS without any hesitation.

Dr. Dallal is very open, honest and straight forward about WLS. He stresses the importance of following your diet plan, excercising, eating healthy and getting your proper amount of protein. He stresses all the possible risk and complications of your surgery so that you can make a very educated decision.

He and his staff also made sure I was aware of the group meetings held at the end of each month and they encouraged me to attend.

Dr. dallals surgical competence is excellent as have had no complications since surgery and his bedside manner is excellent as well. I saw him immediately after surgery and I also saw both of his assistants while in the hospital.

I called Dr.Dallals service at 3am one morning because I was concerned about one of my incisions, i expected to get a call in the morning. Well he called me back within 5 minutes and he explained to me what was going on with my incision, he was so plesant you would have thought it was 3 pm in the afternoon. I stopped by the office the following Monday, unfortunately my doc was not in and I didn't have an appointment, because I tend to be a worrier. I was worried for nothing Dr. Dallal was absolutely correct with the info given to me during our 3am phone conversation. His physician assistants Betty and Amanda did not hesitate to examine me and have Dr. Trang, his partner examine me as well. When I left the office Ifelt assured that everything was alright and I'm glad I made the decision to have my surgery at Einstein Bariatrics performed by Dr. Dallal.
I really don't have anything unpleasant to say about my experience thus far on my journey to the new me. I guess I'm one of the few people that is happy with their care.
I hope this helps
