Valeriu Andrei Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr. Andrei is a wonderful caring doctor. My experience has been a good one with the lapband. I have gotten great result and recommend him to everyone I meet who have weight problems. I was considering having a tummy tuck done in Florida. Dr. Andrei as a concerned doctor for my health made it his business to speak to the doctor I was considering to make sure that doctor knew how to perform the surgery on a patient like me with a lapband. He then called me to tell me that he felt that the doctor in Florida was very competent to perform my surgery. Dr. Andrei made sure that I would be safe in this other doctors hands. Going that extra mile meant a lot to me and told me a lot about him. I love Dr. Andrei and I couldn't have made a better decision than having chosen him. By the way, he also has and excellent staff that are very polite and caring. I recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Andrei is amazing and along with his staff!! I had my bypass surgery in 2007 and kept the weight off, just pout on couple pounds but Pamela is there to help and steer you from all the "old habits!" If you're looking for surgery, go with Dr. Andrei, he is not just a surgeon he is a person who does care and listens to YOU! what YOU want.
Thank You!

He is very Inteligen. His office staff is nice & very Professional. He explain about surgery well enough that i understand. I rate him overall 10 (excellent) both great.

I have know dr. andrei for five years now and i find him very helpfully in getting me thru the surgery , and i also find his staff to be some of the nicest people to also help thru everything.

I first met Dr. Andrei when he was revising a previous bariatric surgery on my mother. She had such a great experience that I decided the gastric sleeve was right for me. The office staff is always friendly and courteous, and aftercare was much more than I expected. The office contacts you at least twice a day after surgery to assure you are not having any problems. I would definitely recommend Dr. Andrei to others considering weight-loss surgery.

I have been a patient of Dr. Andrei for 3 years now. When I had my first appointment with him he took his time was so informative and friendly. He explained everything that I needed to know. Dr. Andrei knows his patient's by name which is most important. All of his staff members are fantastic and very welcoming. I am glad that I chose Dr. Andrei as my surgeon!!

Dr. Andrei is a warm and careing doctor. I found him to have a great beside manner before during and after surgery. His office personnel are all very specialized is what their duties are. On my initial call to the office his personnel took all the worry out of dealing with my insurance company. They went after the insurance company until they got their ressponse and kept me informed every day. Pam, Dr. Andrei's nutritionist, is joy to work with. She is well informed of the correct diet and you never feel like you are on your own. Andy, well what can I say, he is dedicated to all the doctors patients. He has been calling me twice a day to make sure I am not running into any problems. This office has a structured environment. I definitely give Dr. Andrei and his staff an A++.

I have known Dr. Andrei now for three years. I was very angry about having a lap band. I was rude and obnoxious to him even when he called me personally to introduce himself. I even went to the extreme of trying to convince the psychologist that I was too crazy for this procedure. I was completely blown away when he was also in the OR when I had an endoscopy, because he wanted to see the test results himself. I came to the realization that Dr. Andrei is a very responsible person and surgeon. I can ask him questions without feeling foolish. I have graduated to looking forward to my visits. I have had no medical complications from the procedure. I went from five insulin shots daily to one shot of Victoza and Glucophage. His staff is extraordinary, not only do they know you by name, but they walk you through all the pre-op tests. they are all very supportive. You do not have to search for doctors! My surgery was easier than having a baby!!! Ten days after surgery, I began my first day of school with no problems and 30 pounds lighter!

When i first met Dr. Andrei he gave a great first impression, very nice and caring doctor. Nothing has changed over time I still think hes a great doctor who has helped me and is still helping to change my life. His office staff is also very caring and nice. I feel so comfortable everytime I come in the office. Theres nothing I disliked about Doctor Andrei. Future patients should know that he is a caring doctor and will help you achieve your goal with loosing weight and I would recommend Dr. Andrei to anyone who needs a bariatric surgeon. He does have a structured aftercare program, if I need hte nutritionist Pam she is always there when I need her and is a phone call away to help me after the surgery with my diet. I rate dr. Andrei a 10 because I have been to so many doctors and nutrionists but when i stepped into his office is when I lost a large amount of weight I never thought I would lose.

I had the lap band surgery in 2006. I was 268 pounds. The surgery went well even though I was very nervous. Dr. Andrei and his staff were fabulous and made me feel very comfortable. I learned through the years to chew my food completely and to eat more times a day. Lap band is a tool for weight loss which people don't understand. In addition to the surgery, I started to work out (kickbox). The pounds shed off of me. As of today I am 149 pounds and I love it. Now I come once or twice a year to just check on my band and I still have the awesome support I had from 2006. I know if I ever have a question I can call and I will be helped immediately. Pamela was a great resource and great help for me. Andy never gave up on me and will force me to come to the office to get my band checked out. And last but not least, Dr. Andrei is a great doctor and he helped me look and feell great!!!! Kudos Dr. Andrei :)
