Topic: RE: Dr. Holover anyone?
My experience...
I am using Dr. Garber who works with Dr. Holover.  Dr. Holover did my endoscope and I found him to be very nice.  In doing my research it seems he is right up there with Dr. Garber.  I did not see anything negative about him.  My brother used Dr. Garber based on my findings  and is very happy and sucessful. I am in Port Jeff and spent over 1 year looking for a practice I felt comfortable with and feel it is worth the travel time to their office. The staff so far seems great.  I was scheduled for surgery 6/14/10 but it was cancelled due to equipment upgrades  in the OR at Mercy Hospital.  So I waiting on the edge of my seat  for a new date.  Hope this was helpful. Good Luck.

Topic: Dr. Holover anyone?
Hi, I'm looking into different surgeons for my husband. I had RNY 5 1/2 yrs ago with Dr. Adaniel who unfortunately is retiring at the end of the month. Dr. Holover in New Hyde Park accepts our ins. but I don't too many of his patients. If anyone had him and would like to share their opinions on him with me I'd greatly appreciate it.

START OVER!
If you've started out in pursuit of your goal
And you've really tried with your heart and your soul,
but somehow things got out of control ---
START OVER.
When you've tried your best to do what you should
And you thought this time that you surely would,
But once again, you didn't do good ---
START OVER.
When you've worked so hard to follow a dieter's way
And you fought to win a victory each day
But one more time you went astray ---
START OVER.
When you've tried so hard to yourself to be true
And do the things that you know you should do
But once again you failed to come through ---
START OVER.
When the road to success seemed much too long
And each temptation was oh so strong
And once again you gave in to wrong ---
START OVER.
When you've told your friends what you planned to do
And trusted them to help you through
But soon discovered it's up to you ---
START OVER.
When you know you must be physically fit,
But your hope seems gone and you're stuck in a pit
That's not the time for you to quit ---
START OVER.
When the week seems long and successes few
And at weigh-in time you're feeling blue
Remember tomorrow is just for you ---
START OVER.
To start again means a victory's been won
And starting over again means a race well run
And starting over again proves it can be done
So don't just sit there ---
START OVER.

Dr. Roslin also has a Mount Kisco practice, have you checked that out? He operates out of Northern Westchester Hospital.

I just checked their westchester website http://nwhsurgicalweightloss.org

Unfortunately their insurance page is blank so I am guessing the site is still under construction. I believe, however that if it is one of the hospitals your insruance contracts with and assuming you are approved for the DS by your insurance it should be covered.

But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

I dont' know if he takes Fidelis but there is a Frank Sparks in Yonkers.  check out DSFacts.com - they have a list of surgeons - he is the only one in Westchester, the rest are in NYC.  I don't know if anyone in NYC participates.

Topic: RE: No DS with Fidelis :(
Thank you so much!! Yes, I found that the group in Weschester medical does take fidelis, but they don't do DS.. I have checked in Rockland and Westchester.. There is a group in Middletown that is waiting for their credentialing through fidelis, but they don't do DS either..

Thank you very much for your response!!
