Dr. Viorel Dejeu is the first doctor in Europe to be accredited in 2022 by the Surgical Review Corporation (USA) as a Surgeon of Excellence in Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery.
A specialist that many people around the world turn to when suffering from metabolic diseases or invasive obesity, Dr. Viorel is grateful for his team. Even though he divides his life between the cities where he treats patients, either in the operating room, on an airplane or at the wheel, he manages to manage his activities perfectly. When he wants to recharge his batteries, he seeks a destination outside the country, as he is passionate about traveling. “So far, I have visited five continents!” says Dr. Viorel Dejeu.
“We are here for you is not a simple phrase for the Doctor Dejeu team”, confesses Viorel. It is a credo from which his team tries not to deviate for a single moment, precisely because patients come first, and their needs are what really matter. The well-being of patients is the success of his multidisciplinary team of doctors, psychologists and nutritionists.
The only thought that motivates everyone is the desire that their patients be treated as a family member would want to be treated. But for the whole process to work and for the results to be positive, prospective patients of the clinic need to know the following information:
- The Dr. Dejeu team has an emergency number that patients can call at any time. Anytime and at any hour, if they suspect a serious emergency;
- There are secretarial numbers for any organizational matters;
- The team has a patient coordinator in each clinic where it works, who makes the reception and organization in the hospital more efficient and humane;
- Patients are called by one of the team’s doctors a few days after the intervention to make sure they have everything they need and have no questions;
- Patients’ families are informed of how the intervention went as soon as it is over;
- Patients receive psychological help and counseling both pre-operatively and postoperatively whenever they need it;
- Patients can easily schedule a consultation with one of the team’s surgeons whenever they need, without having to go through receptions and waiting rooms;
- The team is able to call patients for all necessary consultations and tests for postoperative check-ups;
- Dr. Dejeu’s team has the most experience in the country and in online consultations. They have been providing online support for 8 years because patients live all over the world.
The success is not only the result of their medical work, but of an efficient organization that puts the patient at the center. “Every year we are getting better organized and more efficient. We don’t stop there. Every detail counts – from planning interventions to communicating with the team and patients. When we know exactly what we have to do and we coordinate perfectly, the results are on the mark. Our success is determined by the success of our patients,” explains the co-founder of the Doctor Dejeu medical team.
The Doctor Dejeu team estimates that tens of thousands of bariatric surgeries have been performed in Romania in the last 20 years, and the need for surgeons with solid expertise in revision surgery is growing.
