Dr. Collin Brathwaite anyone?

I'm looking for a surgeon for the VSG and was wondering if anyone had anything to share about Dr. Collin Brathwaite who works out of Winthrop Hospital?????  I went through 20 pages in the NY Forum and didn't see anything.  *wonders why there is no search function here*

Anyhow I would love to hear whatever you have to share about your knowledge of him. 

Thanks!

Honestly, I didn't care for Dr. Brathwaite too much when he was at St. Catherines in Smithtown.  I don't know if he still works there.  He was the first of 4 surgeons I interviewed for gastric RNY surgery and was much much too aggressive!!  He wanted to totally remove the part of the stomach he was orphaning from my pouch....other doctors did not share his advice to me and I had my surgery elsewhere.  Research research research....do not settle for what doesn't sound comfortable to you.

 Barkan is not very experienced.  Check out Dr. Shawn Garber at The New York Bariatric Group he is the most experienced guy on Long island.
