Hi, I haven't met Dr.Sax however some of our members have mentioned him. I have surgery the 24th of May with one of his collegues Dr. William O'Malley. He is at Strong also. Strong has several hospitals in their system. I will be at Highland Hospital campus. Why don't you check out the NY state people in the database here? I can't remember who said they had Dr. Sax. I just know O'Malley specializes in WLS. He is in the surgeons database here. Check him out for yourself. You can also try to get a bio on Dr. Sax by searching for "Strong Memorial Hospital Rochester, NY" in Google.com. I hope I have helped you . S.M.Stitt... Sue Stitt

Last year I moved to Arizona, but I am from Rochester. You are moving to an area where the hospital and medical facilities are superb! Remember Hillary Clinton came to NY to check out the system there and Stong was one of the places she visited. I wish I were living there now I would have my surgery done already. You can use any of the hospitals in the network and understand that while Strong is a teaching hospital (it is affiliated with the University of Rochester medical School) it also has some of the best Dr.'s in the nation. I personally do not know Dr. Sax. Rochester's hospital are known for 3 things, treatment of burn victims, treatment of cancer, and treatment of heart patients. I had my labor and delivery there are was given a whirlpool bath afterwards. I also had a suite.

I am also researching Dr. Sax as I will be referred to either him or Dr. O'Malley by my PCP. I did meet with Dr. O'Malley two years ago for an evaluation/consultation, was scheduled for surgery, then decided I would try to lose the weight through dieting, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Guess what? I lost some of the weight and gained it back plus much more. So here I go again. I hope you post your experiences with Dr. Sax on this site. You can view his education and career experience on the University of Rochester site at: http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/smd/Surg/Faculty/sax.html Good luck.

I had my first consultation with Dr. Sax on May 7th, 2001. Felt very comfortable with him. But mostly I felt important, not like I was just another # to him. Anyone who is lucky enough to have Dr. Sax should be happy. Wish you all the best of luck.
