Dr Acholonu is a great Doctor. He doesn't mess around after surgery; he wants you up and walking wether you feel like it or not which is good. He has a great office staff, and wonderful Nurse named Bonnie. He has excellent surgical competence, and wonderful bedside manner.

Awesome surgeon! He did a wonderful job, everyone at his practice has been wonderful.
South Jersey Bariatrics was a great choice and they work wonderfully with your insurance. Support meetings every month.
Dr. Wasser is really nice and very funny, wish he could slow down some when visiting with you, he is so good he seems to be very busy. But other then that he is great!

Dr Wasser is a really nice person. He spends time with you and helps you decide which surgery is best for you. Great bedside manner and extremely competent.

His office staff is 50/50. There a a few super nice ladies but quite a few that smiling once in a while wouldn't hurt them. Could definitely use improvement

I am very happy that I have chosen South Jersey Bariatric Surgeons. They have a superb reputation and a great support group which at least two of the surgeons attend each month. I have only spoke to Dr. Wasser at my office visit but look forward to knowing him better.

My first impression of Dr. Wasser was that he was very attractive and well dressed. Dr. Wasser is a classy, reserved individual who, after my consultation, made me believe in his ability and how well his group will be able to assist me through my journey. rnrnWhen you go to Dr. Wasser, I would not expect an over exhuberant, touchy, feely individual. However, I found his quiet, reserve approach just what I needed.rnrnAftercare is really emphasized. Obviously with the band there are fills but you are required to join and attend Dr. Wasser's support group meetings. Cost is nominal $250.00 at this point.rnrnThe risks of surgery were fully outlined at my consult and then delved into even more at the support group meeting.rnrn

Very informative, brief and to the point. Has made himself and staff very available for questions. Highly recommend him and the other Dr's in his group.

I was very pleased with my surgeon. His office staff, specifically Tina, was fabulous. Meeting her put me completly at ease about the entire surgery preparation, paperwork, etc. She has always been very helpful before and after the surgery.rnrnDr. Wasser seems to be a perfectionist...a quality I relate to and respect. Other people may be turned off by his perfectionism. He has, and continues to have, high expectations for his patients. His style can be seen as very businesslike.....but when I was most scared, uncertain, and a bit frightened (i.e. leaving the hospital)...he showed his caring demeanor as well. While others may find him too distant , I looked to him as efficient, demanding (in a good way), and professional.rnrnWhen you choose a surgeon, you want someone who refuses to do less than his best, and Dr. Wasser's surgical competence is just that, the best.

My first impression was that he was serious and quite alert. I was scheduled with another doc but researched the 3 in this pratice and choose the one with the most laproscopic history. My first meeting with him was not very personable and he seemed uninterested in me. We will see how it goes.

I think he is great. Gets to the point and tells you what will be happening. Talks to you, not at you. I would recommend him to others.
