Great doctor who is patient-focused and takes the time to provide explanation and answer questions. Does beautiful work. I highly recommend.
He is the best. Wonderful bedside manners, works with you to achieve your goals. Never felt like I had surgery from a pain perspective.
Fell in love with the office!!!
Doctor rainville has been my surgeon for a number of years. he has performed 2 surgeries on me so far and is about to perform a 3rd. I had a lap band that eroded; he removed that. then he did the sleeve and now hes about to do the duodenal switch. I would recommend doctor rainville to anyone. He's done hundreds of these surgeries and hes one of the very few surgeons in New Jersey that performs the duodenal switch. I have never have to follow up or return to surgery for any type of corrections. he is very friendly. his staff is very friendly and attentive I would definitely recommend him to anyone who's thinking about doing a bariatric surgery.
Dr Rainville and his entire staff are excellent. They were attentive and caring. Great listening and available to assist as needed.
