I want to jump in and offer a thumbs up for Advanced Laproscopic in Paramus and Dr. Schmidt who was my surgeon. I agree with previous posters that it is a personal decision. I would equate it to picking a college. Where are you comfortable and have that "gut feeling". I have had previous surgery at Hackensack Hospital so specifically looked for a doctor there. When you go to the initial meeting, all 4 doctors speak and then you can decide who you want to see for your initial appointment. I picked Dr. Schmidt because he seemed the most down to earth which I liked. The staff is wonderful. You can email the NUT anytime with questions or go in to see her personally. After I had my initial consultation, I still felt unsure if I wanted to go through with it so went back for a follow up appt with the Dr. This time I had a new list of questions and he went over each one with me. They also offer free monthly group meetings. The hospital had its own bariatric wing for recovery and the nurses were wonderful. Just a very positive experience.
