I am a Christian and I love God! I believe there is a purpose for every life but I was about to doubt mine. Until God directed me to this man. He is not God, but he is definetely a gift from him. Not only did this doctor take pride and love in his work. I never felt so safe and comfortable with any doctor before. I remember seeing him enter the room and saying, are you here to let me know your father is on his way. LOL. Since 2006 I've done well but need a tune up. I will return home.

I did the VSG program for 9 months with a Dr from NJBC and 2 wks before my scheduled surgery my ins denied him and the hospital. Needless to say I was very upset. Apparently things happen for a reason because I found Dr. Nusbaum. I felt more confident with him after the first meeting than I did in 9 months with the other practice. Fast forward, 1 mo out from surgery and I feel great. No complications. I know he took more precautions too try and ensure a positive outcome and I'm grateful.

I had surgery with Dr Nussbaum over 15 years ago. I can say that he is simply the best. He is not all about money. He genuinely cares for hisale patients. His office staff is phenomenal. I have had the chance to work with a number of bariatric surgeons and he is by far the best I have seen.

I can't begin to tell you how lucky I was to find Dr. Nausbaum. I had surgery by another surgeon at St. Barnabas and ended up with a leak two weeks after. I went to Overlook hospital and the surgeons there "Didn't feel comfortable" taking care of me. One of the nurses in the Emergency Room at Overlook came up to me and told me about Dr. Nausbaum. She said that he was the best weight loss surgeon in NJ. She was right. He transferred me to Morristown and SAVED MY LIFE. I tell everyone now!!

AJ, I remember your case well. I am so happy that the nurse at Overlook told you about me, and I am thrilled that I was able to fix you up and get you back on your feet. All the best, Dr. Nusbaum

Had an endoscopy with Dr. Nusbaum. Found out my band is wrapped around my esophagus. Endoscopy went REALLY well. I was in and out really fast and have no memory of procedure! Was very nervous while waiting to have iv put in place. He stayed in OR and chatted while I waited making all my anxiety dissipate! Made me feel completely at ease!! Having surgery with Dr Nussbaum next week to remove the band and not nervous at all!

I had surgery with Dr Nusbaum two years ago. He did a sleeve on me and I went from 265lbs to 135 lbs. I used to be 5'5 but somehow I'm only 5'4 now and I look and feel great thanks to Dr Nusbaum and his amazing staff. He is the most caring and compassionate doctor I have ever met. He spends so much time with me that I feel guilty taking up his valuable time. He is truly the greatest. I recommend him to everyone.

Overall I had a negative experience. He came highly recommended, however he does not get to know his patients. He placed a removable filter in me prior to my procedure stating that it was necessary. The filter a few months later was banned and unable to be removed in surgery. Current medical procedures/protocols were not followed. Dr. Nusbaum has questionable ethics. He is more concerned with money than his patients well being. A long list of unacceptable behavior for a physician.

This review is by a medical malpractice firm searching to get patients to sue filter companies. This is not a real review but rather a reflection on how un-ethical some malpractice lawyers can be. Please ignore this fake review.
