Dr. Shah
Dr Shah did my DS.... couldn't be happier. He's such a nice guy, in addition to being a great doctor/surgeon. Same goes for his partner, Dr Roslin... great group. There's a good chance that the couple days you're in the hospital, you'll see both of them, as I believe they take turns making rounds.
As hospitals go, I thought Lenox Hill was great... though bring a small personal fan for your room (no matter what time of year) as most patients (myself included) that I've spoken to had temperature as their biggest complaint. I had my DS mid November of last year and sweat my tail off, requesting extra pads for the bed to change them several times a day. Nursing staff was great with the exception of one, who I think may have been new... but when I requested not to have her again after my first night there, I never saw her again.
Best of luck.
I have been blessed to have not only Dr Roslin (my hero) but also Dr Shah on my WLS, since they are partners they operate together. If one's on vacation or busy the other will call you if you have a problem.
I recommend either without hesistation or reservation!!
