Anyone : Best surgeon in NJ? I have Dr. Abkin of JFK.

I agree with @@Jersrose43 about Valley. I had Dr. Bagloo, but also have friends who went to other surgeons from Valley and none of us have had any complications. The hospital is amazingly clean, the staff are all cheerful and pleasant, and the surgeons are absolutely amazing.

That being said, a surgeon is a very personal choice. I went to meet a few before I decided on Valley and it was just kind of something I knew in my gut that it was the right fit for me. I feel that, if you are still shopping for a surgeon, maybe you should keep looking until you find one you know is the right choice. Remember, you will be working with these surgeons for LIFE after surgery is over, so it needs to be someone you trust and have a good rapport with.

Good luck!

Hi there, I was sleeved by Dr. Schmidt as well. I called him Dr. Rockstar in the hospital, lol. He's the head of bariatric surgery at Hackensack so I felt comfortable going to him. In addition, when I was asking about complications, his numbers were much lower than average. They use three staples on the staple line instead of two.

I am three days post-op with one of Dr Schmidt's partners, Dr Richard Novack. I've got nothing but great things to say about the doctor and the practice.

No complications so far. I'll keep you informed.
