Dr. Andrei is my angel. I was struggling with my weight forever until I met Dr. Andrei. I feel the best I ever have in my life. Do not get me wrong it is a struggle everyday but having the support from him and his staff makes it so much easier. I have lost 100 pounds and feel great. I recommend Dr. Andrei to anyone. :) Danielle Reese

I have tried every diet, diet pill you name it. Nothing ever worked and all I was doing was getting bigger and bigger and more depressed it was not good. I finally took the next step and got some information about the lap band surgery. I was very interested and went looking for doctors. Dr. Andrei was the best doctor I saw and interviewed. All the other doctors treated me like I was just another patient better yet an experiement. As soon as I met with Dr. Andrei he made me feel like a person and he took his time with me and explained everything he needed to, to make me understand what I was in for. Dr. Andrei is the best. I would not put my life in anyone elses hands. I would recommend him to anyone that is interested in this surgery. He is not only caring but very maticulate with everything he needs to do which is important to me. He wants things to be perfect and that is the way I want it so I knew that he was the doctor for me.rnrnNot only was Dr. Andrei such a breathe of fresh air but his staff is hands up the best as well. Everyone is so caring and helpful and if there is a problem they are on the phone with you ASAP. They never let you wait days before a response they are on it one, two, three, it feels like a family in his office. When you walk in there they all no you by name. They have so many patients and everytime I walked in they knew who I was with no problem. It is just so welcoming. I could not have found a better doctor and office to treat me. rnrnNovember 7, 2009 will be 1 year since my surgery and I feel GREAT!!!!!! I have lost 100 pounds. I am at my goal and plan to stay at this for the rest of my life. This is the happiest and healthiest I have been my whole life and intend to stay this way. Thanx to Dr. Andrei and his staff. I could not have done this without you.rnrnThank you so much.....:)rnrnDanielle Reese

I would like to say that I am very happy that I had my Lad Band done by doctor Andrei. This doctor has been very understanding and kind. My impression of Dr. Andrei has not change overtime, I still feel that he is the best doctor because he has taking out time to make you feel good. Dr. Andrei make sure to address all the risks of surgery and I rate him the best. And his staff is wonderful and I know that all future patients would be glad that they pick his office to have their Lad Band or Gastric surgery.

Dr. Andrei is my guardian angel when I couldn't function with everyday things like walking, breathing, sleeping. After meeting Dr. Andrei (I must tell all of you reading this he is the most pleasant and soothing, calming doctor in the world) after having my gastric bypass surgery up until now was a blessing in disguise for me. I needed help and he was there and has continued to be there always along with staff. They are wonderful and extremely helpful and caring towards me and my long journey to a healthy happy life. My surgery went extremely well. I did not have any complications and was quickly bounced back after sugery. I feel great. I am still following my new life style. I am happy with the tool given to me to start my weight loss and am still determined to loose at least 40 to 50 more pounds. My surgery was on April 1, 2010 and I feel my weight loss is comfortable at 86 lbs but should be more than that by now. But slower may be better for me. The food plan is a bit challenging for me to put it into a meal plan. I am not getting discouraged about my slow weight loss but at least I am not gaining back any weight and I will get to my weight when I get there. Thank you Dr. Andrei and staff for always being there for me.

Love to all,

Shirley Muller

I have been a patient of Dr. Andrei's for almost 10 years. I lost 100 lbs. after my gastric bypass. After the initial weight loss, I struggled and began gaining again. I gained about 60 lbs when Dr. Andrei decided it was time to do a revision. I lost about 35 lbs after the revision and began struggling again. Last year, Dr. Andrei suggested a second revision, but I wanted to wait. I wanted to prove to myself that I could control my weight before i went for another surgery. Dr. Andrei was extremely supportive of this decision and for the past year I have seen his nutritionist, Pamela, regularly. I have managed to lose weight and am feeling very good about myself.

I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for the surgery and Dr. Andrei's (and his staff's) support. I was stuck in a chair, ashamed to leave the house, and now I have a more active life, I HAVE A LIFE. My husband had the surgery about 8 months ago and it has been so exciting to see him healthier and more active.

In my life I have encountered many physicians for many different things. But when I met
Dr. Valeriu Andrei I felt comfortable from the very beginning. I came to his office for the gastric bypass. He explain the entire procedure and til this day everything he said it woud be, is exactly what he explained.
His bedside manner are so professional and caring. I have never had a surgeon so caring as
Dr. Andrei. His Staff are just as wonderful. Everyone is caring, understanding, and very professional. If anyone out there needs or is planning on having this procedure or a lapband please see Dr. Valeriu Andrei you will have the most caring and understanding physician and staff.

His staff always call me to chack up on me and make sure that I am doing well.

Sincerely,

Genoveva Medina

Dr Andrei and his staff provide excellent information and care, and I felt well informed going into my surgery. The process leading up to surgery was clearly defined, and the staff is always there to answer questions. After my surgery I had to contact the office after hours and Dr Andrei himself called me back.

I would recommend Dr Andrei to anyone seeking bariatric surgery.

Dr. Andrei is an amazing surgeon and a true savior! My name is Jill, and if you click on "Before and After" pics, I am the first one - in the purple LL Bean t-shirt. I am 5" 11" and was 350 lbs in my BEFORE picture and was a size 28/30. I have lost 175 lbs and am a size 10. M y surgery was in June 2003, and I lost the majority of my weight in the first year (135 lbs). I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation in Feb 2005. I maintained that weightloss and then I lost an additional 30 pounds in 2007, for a total of 165 lbs. (And it didn't mess up my tummy tuck!) I had a baby in 2009 ("Charlie" , seen in my AFTER PIC - if you put the mouse on my before pic, the after pic shows up). During my pregnancy I only gained 17 pounds, ate very well and had a healthy, normal pregnancy. The baby is perfect....and again, so was my tummy tuck! Undamaged by pregnancy! Recently, at the end of 2011, I stepped it up a bit, and started increasing my protein and water intake again, and FINALLY lost the rest of my original goal weight-loss, and reached 175 lbs just before Christmas!! I have lost 175 lbs and weigh 175....my ultimate and original goal....afetr 8 1/2 years. Proof that you can continue to lose weight if you continue to use the tool that Dr. Andrei gave you and the knowledge that his team bestowed on you....I did! Good luck to everyone who has headed down this path, or is contemplating it. It is truly and amazing and wonderful journey! Dr. Andrei is the best - my sister, sister-in-law and neighbor have all become patients of his and now my husband is scheduled for his Roun-En-Y in April. We wouldn't consider any other surgeon. He takes the time to listen to your fears and concerns and is able to answer all your questions fully. His medical staff and office team are truly fantastic and professional. They become your friends through your whole process. What a wonderufl experience it has been for all of us, over the past decade. Thank you Dr. Andrei!
