Best NJ doctors list? And why?



Recommended Posts

where in NJ are you from or are looking in? i went to NJ Bariatric Center which has 3 locations: hoboken, springfield, & somerset. there are 4 surgeons who rotate among the 3 offices. i went to dr. angela jack glassnap and she was AMAZING! i've had such a smooth recovery (9 weeks out today, as a matter of fact!). she is currently on maternity leave until december, but her colleagues are also wonderful. i would highly recommend them, and her specifically if you are just starting the process and aren't looking for a 2014 surgery date. check out their website: http://www.njbariatriccenter.com/

in any case, good luck!

I am in North Jersey. I go to Dr. Gritsus, he has a office in Paramus and Pequannock. He did my lapband in 2010. I had my lapband removed in May 2014. On 9/3/14 I will be having the sleeve done.

Dr Karl Strom and his group. They operate out of Holmdel or Manahawkin! Office staff the best!

Annah,

I'm going to use Garden State Bariatrics (Millburn), Dr Yurcisin. I met with him a year ago, then talked myself out of it (kicking myself) and met with him again just yesterday. I'm going for the sleeve as well. My Primary Doc recommended him & my wife works in one of the hospitals he's affiliated, so she has an inside scoop on who to see and who NOT to see in that hospital. Good luck with who ever you choose.

Yes, Yurcisin is Bilof's partner, I think they are the only two doctors there, they also have an office I think in Bayville by the shore.

I am using NJ Bariatric Center, Dr Goya and Dr Montes. I was recommended there by my PCP. They have been wonderful during the pre-op process. What impresses me most is that they take the time to sit and answer any questions. No rush, no attitude.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
