Andrew Averbach

"Dr. Averbach is straightforward, warm and highly intelligent. He wanted to know, that as a patient, you had educated yourself about the surgery, and was comfortable with the information you had received about the surgery. He was very thorough. rnrnDr. Averbach illustrated the next steps that would have to be taken and I moved forward. He was there by my side through the entire process. I've lost 125 pounds and will be forever grateful to Dr. Averbach.rnrnHe gave me HOPE.rnrnI would definitely recommend him to anyone."

Sinai Hospital Baltimore

"The overall experience was just okay. The night nurses where not very responsive. On several occasions I waited at least 1/2 hour for a nurse after using the call button and reporting that I needed assistance getting to the bathroom. I eventually removed the sleeves with velcro from my legs using my toes, manuevering my bed to sit up, gathering the IV equipment which I had to unplug and then making my way to the bathroom. Once I didn't quite make it. I complained to the Patient Advocate before I left. One nurse came in after smoking and I could smell it on her hands. YUCK!! There was one nurse that was OUTSTANDING and one that was okay. "
