Atlanticare Medical Center (COE)

"My night nurse Beth was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The day nurse on my surgery date, Gerry, probably shouldn't be handling bariatric patients...she seemed a little "out of it". My day nurse the 2nd day, Sherry, was better, although when I asked the tech for pain meds, Sherry gave meds to the girl in the next room. By the time I got them (8 call lights and an hour later), I was literally in tears from the pain."

Zero Carb Premixed/Prebottled

"The icy orange is phenomenal. It tastes like a Stewarts orange cream soda without the carbonation. My nutritionist was thrilled with the nutritional value and said it can be used during the clear liquid part of the diet. 160 calories, 0 carbs, 40gm protein, made with Splenda, aspartame free!!!"

Alexander Onopchenko

"My first impression of Dr Onopochenko was not on a personal level. I work on the Med/Surg floor of an area hospital and Dr Onopochenkp usually has patients on my floor. On a quiet weekend shift, I overheard him and some internists I respect talking about the surgery and how much success his patients had. The internists regularly follow some of Dr O's patients and they were happily comparing stories of very successful patients (no names were mentioned-very important with the new HIPPA regs). When I went to Dr O's seminar, his demeanor was not that of a salesman trying to sell his "product", but of a father describing a successful endeavor of his child. When I met him at the consult, I was impressed with his sincerity and willingness to answer any questions I had (some were extensive since I work on a surgical and know too well of the risks of any surgery). I was surprised when he said that I may be able to be done in 1-2 months vs the normal 3-4 months (I anticipated some of the requirements and had been working on them). There wasn't anything I didn'tlike about him. His bedside and clinical skills are 2nd to none-he was the first surgeon to perform laporscopic surgeries at our area hospital. He emphasizes that this is a LIFETIME commitment and is only a tool, not a cure. He has a very structured aftercare program which is thorough without being smothering. I would give him my highest rating."
