doctors in Northern NJ

I like to hear from anyone who has used a doctor in Northern NJ, I am looking for positive as well as negative feedback on any doctor that performed the lap surgery. Thanks your input will help!

Hi, If West Orange is North Jersey, than my doctor is Great. Dr. Michael Nusbaum. I am having surgery on 1/6/04. Good Luck Sharon

I used Dr. Garth Ballantyne, Hackensack Hospital . . . . you'll hear no complaints from me!

Hi Jean, Dr. Robert Brolin at Saint Peter's in New Brunswick, did my surgery and I have no complaints. He's not very talkative, but it wasn't my intention to make a new friend, but to find someone competent. It is my understanding that Dr. Brolin has been doing this surgery for 30 years. He was also was featured on Discovery Health. I also had a consultation with Dr. Mehta, who studied under Dr. Brolin. They were supposed to practice together, but couldn't work out the contract issues. Anyway, Dr. Mehta is very personable and gives a very detailed and interesting pre-op consultation. I believe he operates at Saint Peter's as well. I had the Lap RNY on 3/31/03 and have had no complications other than short term hair loss. My hair hasn't been falling out and is growing just fine now. It is even curlier! Best of Luck to you. Kathy
