Alexander Abkin MD, FACS, FASMBS, President, Advanced Laparoscop

Dr. Abkin's extensive experience, expertise, and support will help you get results. Choosing weight loss surgery is a big commitment and Dr. Abkin and the ALSOM staff will always be there to support and guide you, as they have been for me for the past ten years.

Dr Abkin is a lifesaver...literally. With his help as well as his support staff I was able to change my life, get healthier, and enjoy life. Surgery is not easy and it takes hard work and dedication, Dr Abkin sets his patients up with the tools to be successful. I am so grateful to Dr Abkin.

Dr. Abkin has an incredibly warm manner. He listens and shows genuine concern for my welfare. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Surgery was no complications and dr and pa staff very attentive. The after care was excellent. I loved this practice

I am just 2 weeks post op and have had excellent results with a loss of 23 lbs to date. I could not have made a better decision in choosing Dr. Abkin and his staff to assist me in not only the surgical process, but the education process as well. The information provided to me by the nutritionist as well as the NP, Carmen and other members of his staff will assist me in achieving and maintaining life long goals. Everyone from the receptionist to the medical assistants and the insurance specialists and all those behind the scenes, have always been pleasant and responsive to assist me in anyway possible. My questions have been answered more than adequately and I could not be happier with the staff and of course, Dr. Abkin. Best choice!!! I know others who have or are having the same procedure and the information that they were provided does not in any way seem to be as comprehensive as what I received at Dr. Abkin's office.

I'm impressed! The appointments are always on time, helpful friendly staff that addresses all concerns, miracle results! I helped a relative go through the surgery. they lost a tremendous amount of weight and suffered no ill effects thanks to the skill of the doctor. they are regaining their health and vigor in a new slim body! Best doctor in the field! Down to earth and available.
