Doctors in Northern NJ



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm considering lap band surgery and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with doctors in Bergen County. I've heard of a few, but don't know anything about them. Thanks!

hi, i'm not sure if my doctor is in bergen co. but its in northern nj. my doctor is Dr. Andrei. His office is in livingston. Don't have my surgery until may29th but i just heard wonderful things about him. He is really nice and he takes his time to explain things. he normally holds several seminars during the month. if i was you i would go to one to find out more. a matter of fact many doctors in nj hold seminars so you can go to them and meet them. but to be honest i love my doctor.

You might want to look up ADVANCED LAPOROSCOPIC ASSOCIATES, Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Treveti...they are in Hackensack, NJ and work out of the Hackensack hospital.....I think that is Bergen County

I was banded by Dr Bertha of Advance Laproscopic Surgeons in Florham Park. He works with Dr Abkin and they do surgeries out of St Clares Hospital in Dover, Morristown Memorial and St Peters in New Brunswick. I also attended seminars for Dr Ballantyne and Dr Capella out of Hackensack and I am sure they are great doctors I just didnt get that comfort feeling I did when I attended the seminar help by Dr Bertha's office.

Livingston is actually in Essex county. Isn't Dr. Andrei a colleague of dr. nussbaum? Dr. Nussbaum has done two of my friend's bypasses. He will be doing my band

Do not use Advanced Laproscopic Associated in Hackensack Medical Center, the staff is incompetent. Most people struggle with their insurance companies. Their patients struggle with the office.

I had my band done by Dr Bertha from Advanced Laproscopic Sugens in Florham Park I am very happy with Dr Bertha and the fantastic staff at A L S. It made everything so easy and comfortable. I had it done at St. Clare's in Dover NJ. The hospital staff was (is) great. I wish I had done this years ago.
