Testimonials

A picture speaks a thousand words: we do expect all our patients to be like this immediately after surgery for gastric band insertion

Gastric banding is a very successful procedure. When performing hundreds of them it is very easy to find hundreds of patients that will say only good things and express their satisfaction with the outcome.

However, not 100% of the patients would lose weight satisfactorily and it would be interesting to see what the patients who did not do so well have to say about your standard of care.

"Dear Dr Oliver Florica,

Hi Dr Florica,

Its just me again - i was looking into the tube/sleeve surgery and i think i might just be the first one for you to perform the surgery after all! It looks like a good option considering how unsuccessful i have been with the band...

I look forward to discussing the procedure and details with you during our appointment next Tuesday.
See you then!
Marlene

P.S. I just wanted to say a little thank you to you for being the friendliest and most fantastic dr, i am yet to meet any one as approachable and as great with thier patients as you. It really is appreciated!!

"Finally I cannot finish this letter without making a special mention of the surgeon Doctor Oliver Florica and his surgical team. This man's level of conduct and professionalism in this day and age is indeed a rare thing. From my first meeting with him on the morning of the surgery to the final visit before my discharge this man was thorough in his attention to detail, professional in his approach and compassionate in his thoughtfulness toward me his patient and shows an impressive dedication to his profession"

"In particular I wish to mention Dr Florica who performed the surgery as he was most informative throughout and operated such that I received only minimal discomfort when the anaesthetic wore off"

"The fall is believed to have been from a height of about three meters. Andrew was rushed to Goulburn Base Hospital where the surgeon on duty Dr Oliver Florica "did a fantastic job," according to Tanya. "We have so much to thank him for."
