Michael Jay Nusbaum

"Hi, My story with obesity is probably the same as yours so I will not dwell on it. I read the testimonials about Dr. Nusbaum prior to surgery to find out whether or not he was a good surgeon, and if his patients were satified with the outcome of their surgeries. Also I was curious as to whether or not they survived the procedure without complications. So here's the skinny on my experience with the good doctor, and his office staff. My first consultation was on December 29, 2004, and I was approved for surgery by my insurance company with the first letter on January 26, 2005. My surgery was two weeks later on February 10th. I was impressed that Dr. Nusbaum was young enough to master the cutting edge technology that is required for Laparascopic WLS. Unlike his older counterparts, he did not have to unlearn bad habits. He is of the generation that is raised on computer technology and it's benefits for medical treatment. He has great concern for the comfort and safety of his patients. He and his office staff work well together and are very thorough. They make sure they left no stone unturned. Dr. Nusbaum, extended the same concern to my family and loved ones. He went out of his way during surgery to inform my family of my condition and he came out to speak to them personally afterwards. He even showed my family pictures of my stomach before and after surgery. He made sure that they had proof that there were no dangerous leaks, that could lead to a serious infection. Post Op, Dr. Nusbaum came to see me every day and made sure that any degree of pain or discomfort was immediately handled by the St. Barnabas staff. The hospital staff was very responsive to me, not only because they were dedicated healthcare professionals, but because of the great degree of respect they have for the quality of Dr. Nusbaum's work. All of the healthcare professionals that I encountered were very complimentary of Dr. Nusbaum. One week after surgery, during my first Post Op visit, I received the same attention that I received prior to and during surgery. Throughout the process, I did not feel that I was just a number. Incidentally, I have nothing negative to say, because it's the truth. Apparently, the moderators of this website feel that "Completely 100 % positive previews are generally less informative and even suspect." They've never met Dr. Nusbaum."
