I was very impressed with Dr. Vohra. I attended an "educational" conducted by a nurse from his staff. She was very well informed and explained the entire procedure and aftercare. I also attended a support group. I was surprised to see the ENTIRE staff at the group meeting: dietician, physician's assistant, Dr. Vohra himself, his nurse and his office assistant. I then had the consultation visit with Dr. Vohra at his office. Again, it was mandatory that I meet with ALL of his staff one by one during this appointment. I am presently in the process of having the numerous tests required by Dr. Vohra. The scheduling of the appointments is a bit tedious, especially if you work. It is difficult to get appointments early in the morning or late in the evening. But most of the doctors recommended by Dr. Vohra to perform the tests, were "courteous" to Dr. Vohra's patients and scheduled the appointments in a timely manner. I think it would be so much more helpful if they could just check you into a hospital and perform ALL the necessary tests at one time. Or, since hospital room cost is a factor, have a section of these doctors all at one site. Dr. Vohra has a structured aftercare program. As I am still pre-op, I am not too familiar with the program. I do know that you MUST meet with the dietician and you MUST have an exercise plan. |

Dr Vohra is a wonderful man. More than that, the staff put me completely at ease. I can't say enough about them. Aftercare and more important: BEFORE CARE is in place & running smoothly thanks to the efforts of a great back up staff. Even Dr Vohra himself stressed the importance of the staff. Thank you, Steve!!!! And any pre ops from NY, please email me to find out more about this most excellent Dr and staff **********************DR Vohra is the head of lap surgery at South Nassau Hospitol. This obesity surgery is a new project there and Dr Vohra and his staff seem up for the challenge! I found out about Dr Vohra through a friend and I am well into the process that we all must go through to change our lives. South Nassau Hospitol is committed to this project. There is a part of the hospital dedicated to the surgery. Big gowns, chairs without sides in every office they have sent me to. Big wheelchairs and everything! Special kudos to Mary Kramer, R.N. for her fabulous support and her "can do" attitude! Now Dr Vohra has done about 15 surgeries and was recently trained by Dr Wittgrove, the surgeon who did Carnie's operation. He is extremely thorough and caring. Aftercare is in place and running already. Some surgeons in the area have done way more surgeries and have no support in place. Dr Vohra respects my time by being punctual for my appointments and having a staff that is available for me by simply picking up the phone. |
