Excellent surgeon. My surgery went great. My BC/BS covered his fees minus my deductible. I’m losing weight and getting healthy. The staff was a pleasure to deal with and fought hard with my insurance company to get things paid. The insurance companies love to take our money but they hate paying for things.
I recommend Dr Nusbaum and his amazing staff to everyone.

The office staff made sure i did abcd so they would get paid through my insurance but they couldn't care less about what surgery would cost me out of pocket. I could not come to an agreement with the billing manager. My insurance said i owe them $25 and the office is billing me over $900 and that's after paying $$ to the hospital and anesthesia Something that was supposed to be covered cost me thousands.........

Very disappointing experience! I was told Dr. Nussbaum takes Medicare and was given an appointment. When I showed up they refused to even let me consult with the doctor because of my Medicare coverage. They talked in circles and basically threw me out. I came back right away to ask for a recommendation for another surgeon and was denied again. She said, "He's seeing patients right now."

I initially went to the NY Bariatric group because of all their advertising, but I found them to be cold, impersonal and all about the money. Then I asked a few people and they all said Dr Nusbaum. They were absolutely correct. He's the best hands down!

I've been a nurse for over 10 years, so I know who to ask when looking for a surgeon. I called up some OR nurses at both St. Barnabas and at Morristown and asked who they'd recommend for bariatric surgery. To my surprise, I received the same response from everyone I spoke with: Dr. Michael Nusbaum. So, it was an easy choice after that! I must say that they were all correct. I was very impressed with Dr. Nusbaum's attention to detail, bedside manner and calm approach. He is clearly the best

I had gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Nusbaum A year ago. I am now down almost 200 pounds and reached my goal. I can't say enough about how professional and caring he is. He has an amazing staff and they are all there for you every step of the way. I highly recommend him

Dr. Nusbaum and his team are the BEST! I was thinking about getting a band for a very long time. Once I had made up my mind to move forward, I began researching Bariatric surgeons in the NJ area. Everyone was recommending I visit Dr. Nusbaum (including my primary!) because he was " the best". I'm glad I listened! Procedure= flawless, Staff=caring and attentive, Dr. Nusbaum= meticulous, highly skilled, easy to reach, and genuinely cares about his patients! Losing weight and feeling GREAT! Thx :)

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!!

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.
