Message to My Patients
“…the process of selecting your Plastic Surgeon is difficult for some and easy for others. Some patients know me because I have treated friends or family. Some know me from “word of mouth”. Others know me only as a referral.

Once all are in my office, they immediately learn several things. My practice is based on honesty, sincerity, and professionalism. We have painstakingly built our office and developed our staff to better serve you.

I treat patients individually. No two people present exactly alike. Therefore, no two treatment plans should be exactly alike.

Delivering the best outcome with individual care and safety are my prime concerns.
 

My Office
Patients are brought into a comfortable, warm and peaceful environment which aids the patient in healing and our staff in servicing our patients.

Along those lines, we are planning an expansion of services to include a wide range of body and facial spa services which will be provided in a brand new spa setting.

Dr. Michael Jay Nusbaum, MD, FACS trained at Saint Barnabas Medical Center and was fortunate to have been trained by Dr. Lubomyr Kuzmak (the inventor of the adjustable gastric band) among other highly regarded surgeons. Dr. Nusbaum began his surgical career at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in early 1998. He started the Laparoscopic Bariatric Program at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in 2000 and was the first surgeon to successfully perform a laparoscopic gastric bypass there. He was also the first surgeon to perform a laparoscopic gastric banding at Saint Barnabas Medical Center. Since then, he has performed well over 1,500 laparoscopic gastric bypasses and numerous laparoscopic gastric banding procedures.


Doctors Bariatric Surgery
Why is Dr. Nusbaum's complication rate so low?

Attention to detail and an obsession with perfection both during and after the operation.

Doctor with PatientInvention and Reporting
Dr. Nusbaum was the first surgeon to invent and report on the concept of "Intra-operative Upper GI Swallowing Studies to Rule out Leakage." This technique consists of placing a tube into the stomach while the patient is still asleep. Then contrast is injected into the stomach under intra-operative fluoroscopy (This is the same contrast typically used the next day). This way, if there is a leak, it can be detected and fixed prior to leaving the operating room. He is also, one of only a hand full of surgeons, who take the time to over sew the entire anastamosis (connection between the stomach and small intestine) with permanent silk sutures as an extra layer of protection.

 

Patients are brought into a comfortable, warm and peaceful environment which aids the patient in healing and our staff in servicing our patients. Along those lines, we are planning an expansion of services to include a wide range of body and facial spa services which will be provided in a brand new spa setting.
