Recommendations: Doctors in North NJ?

[marko 0]

Hello everyone, it's nice to make your acquaintance.

I'm in Little Falls and seriously considering this procedure. Could someone point me to a surgeon in my neck of the woods that they have a good experience with? Lets say within a 15 mile radius around where Route 3 meets 46. I would prefer not to go into the City if it can be helped. Extra points for taking United Health Care.

All advice is gratefully appreciated:smile:!

I used Dr. Nusbaum in Livingston. I have only great things to say about him and his staff - I was banded on Tuesday, 6/24 and I am doing fine. Best of luck with your search! MM

Hi Marko,

Dr. Garth Ballantyne in Hackensack, he's the head of bariatric surgery there, very well known and very nice. Hackensack is a great hospital. His staff is great too.

Good Luck !!!!

I got banded on July 7, and I used Dr. Edward Pucci in Denville. The group is Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeons Of New Jersey. They were excellent and I am pretty sure they have a few locations.

Hi, I'm using Dr. Beth Schrope, she is located in Ridgewood and they take UHC. I am scheduled for 12/23, she was very personable and the staff is great. They are very on top of everything and helpful, with all of my questions and concerns they were always there with an answer.

Belated thanks to all for your responses. I got derailed from this after I first posted, but now I am back on track with Dr. Nusbaum, aiming for an early February date. Again, thanks for all your help!

Not North Jersey but if there is anyone looking for a physician in the Central Jersey (Princeton) area, I used Dr. Chau from NJ Bariatrics Group. He was and is great!
