"He was a very helpful guy and not judgemental in any way, which is something I experienced with one surgeon I considered. I've seen him in passing and met with him at appointments and his demeanor has never changed toward me. He never acts too busy to say hi or in a rush. He always makes time to say hi and ask how I'm doing. His office staff is kind and helpful. I can truthfully say that I don't dislike any situation I have had with him. Future patients should know that he is a great surgeon to use and that it is worth flying to NJ to have the surgery with him. He personally did not emphasize aftercare, but through all the methods made available to me through his practice, I understand the importance and have adhered to it. He does have a structured aftercare program. His practice suggests a 6-8 month frequency for return visits. They also organize a support group which I have neglected completely through my own lack of time. He explained to me all the risks involved with this surgery and was actually able to show me how the band would work inside my body. This is also explained in the seminar they require new patients to attend. He is in my opinion the best bariatric surgeon in NJ. I can't speak for the United States, but I would recommed him over all others. He is surgically competent and provides great beside care after surgery. He is truly a great surgeon and I couldn't have been made to feel more comfortable with him before surgery."
