Dr. Viorel Dejeu and Dr. Dănuț Dejeu, in Avantaje magazine: about medical excellence, empathy and modern obesity treatment

In the June edition of Avantaje magazine, Dr. Viorel Dejeu and Dr. Dănuț Dejeu, founders of the Doctor Dejeu Team, talk about their professional journey, the values ​​that underpin the team, and the vision that guides them every day: medical excellence, care, empathy, and results built on the long term.

The interview also addresses some of the most important topics in modern obesity treatment: why it should be viewed as a chronic disease, when weight loss medications are recommended, in which situations bariatric surgery is the most effective solution, and why the success of treatment depends on the collaboration between the patient and a multidisciplinary team.

Why is it important to view obesity as a disease and not as a lack of willpower?

Obesity is a chronic and complex condition, influenced by numerous factors – genetic, hormonal, metabolic and psychological. Therefore, treatment must be adapted to each patient and not reduced to the idea of ​​”diet and exercise”.

“Patients don’t just come to us with extra pounds. They come with years of failures, with shame, with pain, with hope.” – Dr. Dănuț Dejeu

Are weight loss medications enough?

Modern medications are a valuable option for certain categories of patients, but they are not suitable in all cases. When obesity is severe and accompanied by conditions such as diabetes, hypertension or sleep apnea, bariatric surgery remains the most effective long-term solution.

“For patients with advanced obesity, bariatric surgery remains the most effective long-term method.” – Dr. Viorel Dejeu

Why is the multidisciplinary team so important?

Success does not depend only on the surgical intervention, but on the collaboration between the patient and a multidisciplinary team, consisting of surgeons, nutritionists and psychologists. Monitoring and support provided after treatment are as important as the intervention itself.

“Empathy is not an accessory in medicine. It is part of the medical act.” – Dr. Viorel Dejeu

What is the philosophy of the Doctor Dejeu Team?

Beyond medical performance and international standards, the team’s mission is to provide each patient with safety, trust, and a medical experience centered on their needs.

“We want the patient to feel safety, professionalism and humanity.” – Dr. Dănuț Dejeu

These are just some of the topics covered, the full interview can be found in the June edition of Avantaje magazine. Beyond bariatric surgery and obesity treatment, the interview talks about responsibility, empathy and the importance of a medicine built around the patient. For the Doctor Dejeu Team, success does not just mean losing weight, but regaining health, confidence and quality of life, through a personalized approach and a team that stays with the patient every step of the way.
