I recently had the pleasure of working with Dr. Michael Donaire of Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics, and I can confidently say that it has transformed my life in the best possible way. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was met with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a team of dedicated professionals who genuinely cared about me and my weight loss goals. The <$_3> they offer is remarkable. Each step of the journey is carefully tailored to individual needs, ensuring that everyone receives the support and guidance necessary to succeed. The medical staff is knowledgeable, compassionate, and always available to answer questions or provide encouragement. The educational resources and support groups have been invaluable, fostering a sense of community among clients. I’ve learned so many effective strategies for long-term weight management. The focus on both physical and mental well-being is refreshing and truly sets this company apart. I am thrilled with my progress and the positive changes in my health and confidence. If you’re considering a bariatric weight loss journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Donaire and the entire team at Advance Surgical & Bariatrics of Somerset, New Jersey. Their commitment to helping people achieve their goals is truly inspiring!... (Show more)
Do not go here for any type of hernia/groin surgery or treatment. There are plenty others. Please do not waste your time. I was a patient for 2+ months, which after dealing with both the doctor and insurance, the doctor told me to go to a doctor in Philly. They stated they are the only practice/doctor that <$_1> in the area (untrue). I could say more, but I want to be more professional than they are. Good luck.... (Show more)
Pamela Bryan has been my saving grace.im bipolar and a handful.lol she always responds quickly ,and never annoyed with me. Most ppl are.lol thanks for all u do pam!!!!
I had surgery in September. Since then I have lost 120 pounds in six months. From the initial consultation I have found Dr Sadak and his team to be very helpful throughout this process. I have been seeing Dr bucholtz for follow ups and he is very knowledgeable and takes the time to answer all my questions.
Dr. Grover has truly been a beacon of hope on my weight loss journey. From the moment I stepped into Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics of NJ clinic, I felt supported and understood. Their expertise in bariatric medicine is unparalleled, and their personalized approach to treatment made me feel like more than just another patient. Dr. Grover took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explain my options, and tailor a plan that suited my needs perfectly. Thanks to their guidance and encouragement, I've achieved my results and regained control of my health. I cannot recommend Dr. Grover highly enOugh... (Show more)
They are so professional and really helped me throughout my journey. Dr. Sadek and his team are incredible and I will definitely recommend them to anyone looking to go through bariatric surgery.
I had my procedure in August, 2023. From the time of my initial consult to my surgery, the doctors and staff were very professional and caring. Yes, i have seen a few different doctors since my procedure, but they work as a team. I highly recommend.
My daughter's surgery took place on July 15, 2021, and although we are very pleased with the final results, my experience with the office staff before, during, and after the procedure was not positive. They were unfriendly and unhelpful. Since the end of 2022 until last week, I have been engaged in a dispute with them over a $20,001 bill that they claimed I owed. Despite multiple calls to my insurance providers, they confirmed that they had no record of such a bill. I even had both insurance companies reach out to them directly, but it was futile. The office manager named Lorena has been particularly uncooperative. After weekly calls from me requesting only that they process the bill correctly so that they can be paid for their services, she "blacklisted" me and forbid the staff from speaking to me or my daughter. They disregarded my pleas and eventually sent my case to collections which led me to deal with an unprofessional and aggressive lawyer named Christian McOmber Esq. Once served with legal papers, I immediately contacted them and fought against their claims. Additionally, I had my primary insurance companies send a letter stating that if an invoice existed for this alleged amount owed by me, it should be provided so that payment could be made. To this we received bogus screenshots of invoices being processed that never made it to the insurance companies. It is frustrating how this situation unfolded despite my efforts to resolve it amicably. I was relentless in providing them with information to dispute their claims, I was relentless in clearing my name, I was relentless in my follow through. Only to get an email from Christian McComber esq. that stated that his client would not pursue this invoice any longer. Really? after all you put us through. Needless to say, BE VERY AWARE OF THE DECEIT. PROTECT YOURSELF AND QUESTION EVERYTHING. LORENA, YOU ARE A SORRY EXCUSE FOR AN OFFICE MANAGER, YOU HAVE NO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS AND FOR WHAT I SEE NO RECORD KEEPING SKILLS EITHER.... (Show more)
Horrible. I had bariatric sleeve surgery with this office. Honestly I had little to no assistance before or after the surgery. The meetings they are supposed to have never worked from a technology standpoint (I complained even before the surgery, but it was never resolved). I was barely losing weight after surgery and I kept being told it’s just a stall. I only lost like 30 lbs after getting the sleeve during the first few months and in about 1 year I gained it all back. I’m right back at square 1. I’m so jealous of ppl who I’ve seen who have lost 100+ lbs with this surgery. At first I thought this group was a great idea and the start to a new life, but I feel like they took the $$ and ran. Now I’m looking into Monjauro or other more effective treatments as I started at 242 and only got down to 211 (I was told the surgery would get me to about 170, but I never got close) for a very short period of time. Once the surgery happens and even before you are left alone with no guidance. I wish my experience had been different. I had high hopes.I’m embarrassed to even tell ppl I had the surgery and even more embarrassed when the ppl who know I had it see that it failed. Just another failed weight loss attempt yet super expensive (emotionally and financially) .... (Show more)
I had my gastric bypass surgery done last March 31st by Dr. Buchholz from Advanced Surgical and Bariatrics at RWJ Barnabas of New Brunswick. The whole experience from the first appointment to the post-ops were amazing. They made me feel heard and guided me throughout the entire process. The team at RWJ Barnabas was also great. I ended up staying two nights at the hospital and everyone of their team took really good care of me. I feel great and my life has changed completely. The new me is healthier and happier. Thank you Advanced Surgical and Bariatrics for the amazing job you do.... (Show more)
Advanced surgical & bariatrics, is such an amazing group. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff are amazing, if I could rate it beyond 5 stars I will in a heart beat. All the Dr's in office are amazing and thoroughly explain everything in deep detail. Dr. Donaire is amazing and is currently the surgeon taking care of my case. Overall I recommend this office to everyone. Staff is impeccable from the moment you walk in the door, and you can call that office 10x a day and the patience and calmness of the staff is amazing. Love them!... (Show more)
Dr. Donaire and the staff at this office is amazing! I just had surgery on June 2nd and with listening to all instructions I am already down 10lbs. Dr. Donaire answers all questions and concerns with no hesitation. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to see my journey! Kiarrie G.
Slaughterhouse with poor follow-up. Bad attitudes and arrogant. Front desk women horrible attitudes and basically presents how the doctors act and how they treat you. Wouldn't recommend it if you need a doctor that cares. Also they're very expensive. That's simply the bottom line.
Dr. Ragui Sadek And his staff are excellent and very knowledgeable. Special thank you for Pam who really worker had to get me covered for this surgery … Definitely Recommend 5⭐️
Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics are just an incredible group of Dr's. I had my gastric sleeve done about 4yrs ago and then 4yrs later (this past Friday) I had to get my gallbladder removed. Everyone from their office to the Robert Woods Johnson medical staff were just amazing. They made me feel extremely comfortable and gave me the best possible care I could ever ask for. Truly incredible team. But more importantly I would like to take a moment to talk about Dr Michael Donaire. Dr Donaire is by far the most professional Dr/Surgeon I know. He's very attentive and takes a much time as you need to have any questions or concerns answered. He's an absolute fantastic person. There's no one else that I would go to. He preformed my sleeve and gallbladder surgeries. So thankful for him. I highly recommend Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics to anyone who is looking for these services... (Show more)
Horrible customer service RJB was given the money pre surgury Advanced knew it and RJB saying I never paid. Staff is terrible, manager is horrible. I have confirmation email from one in their office people confirming I paid and it is a mistake and they will work it out and they did nothing. I have emailed the office 10x regarding this. I believe they are trying to get more money out of me... (Show more)
I have been thinking of having the sleeve surgery for months. Met Dr Saked for the first time and I felt very comfortable, he answered all my questions and gave me great insight ,I know I'm making the right decision. Dr Sadek and staff are amazing. I’d strongly recommend Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics.
I am extremely happy with the service I am receiving from this group. They are curteous, responsive and professional. Someone is always an email or a phone call away, and they address my concerns on a very timely way. Highly recommended.
Dr.Mailman and the team did an awesome job. The only pain I had when I woke up was lower back pain which was NOT related to my Sleeve. It has not been an easy road but I am so happy that I am on my way to a healthy lifestyle with lower blood pressure. Highly recommend this group. Excellent beside manor and futureritic operation room at hospital. Just an awesome experience. Thank you all. 😘😘... (Show more)
If you need a hernia repair and happen to be overweight, forget about getting the hernia repaired. However, weight loss surgery they can do immediately! They were kind enough to go ahead and tell me I had insurance for this as they had already checked! They also told me no other doctor would repair the hernia, including the one across the street from them. The doctor did tell me that if I experienced severe cramping and vomiting, from the hernia, that I needed to go to an ER for an emergency surgery. This is what I was trying to avoid having waited over two weeks for this appointment. So if prepping your insurance for a big bill is how you seek out medical care, this is the place for you....
