Michael Jay Nusbaum

"This is long overdue, but the fact of the matter is I've been trying for months to find the words to adequately describe the overwhelmingly positive experience of my journey that was made possible by Dr. Nusbaum. I don't even know where to begin, and as a former English teacher, my being at a loss for words is quite a feat for someone to accomplish! Here we go... rnrnI first met Dr. Nusbaum in November 2007 at an informational seminar about the various weight loss surgeries he performs. His knowledge and great skill were apparent immediately, but what impressed me the most was his kind personality and compassion for people struggling with severe obesity. I knew I had found my surgeon. rnrnI made an appointment in January 2008, for Martin Luther King Day, to be exact and we decided that the Lap Band would be the most appropriate procedure for me. I started working with his insurance coordinator Wanda, who is also fantastic in her own right. The efficiency with which he manages his office is also excellent. By the end of February, I had a date scheduled for March 18. I was amazed at how quickly the process progressed! Dr. Nusbaum is a rare combination of great surgeon, compassionate person and smart businessman.rnrnAfter the surgery, he gave me his cell phone number to call with any questions or issues. I called a couple of times and he returned my calls the same day. rnrnScheduling fills and the occasional emergency unfill is also very easy. I had a couple occasions where I had to have some fluid removed from my band and I was able to squeeze in the same day I called. That's great service! rnrnI usually pride myself on being able to succinctly \"tell it like it is,\" but it's tough to do that when there are so many important points to address. All I can say is I am thrilled with my decision to take control of my life back and I have Dr. Nusbaum to thank for getting the ball rolling for me. Two thumbs way up!!!"
