I was very impressed with Dr. Szomstein and his staff. I feel so comfortable there and he explained everything so well. I really love the Cleveland Clinic.
I liked my surgeon. He works in tandem with Dr. Raul Rosenthal and they are both very knowledgable. Their office staff is very nice and always willing to answer questions. If you are considering this surgery, please do you homework. The surgeons like their patients to know what they are getting themselves into. They care about their patients.
He works in tandem with Dr. Raul Rosenthal. I found both surgeons highly knowledgable. The office staff is very nice and always willing to answer my questions. Anyone considering this surgery should do their homework first before speaking with them... these are very good surgeons and they like their patients to know what they are getting into.
I'm thrilled with all of Cleveland Clinic's performance. They are so organized. They have incredible follow up. They say I should call them but I never have to do that, they are always ontop of everything. My impression of Dr Szomstein is great the time that I met with him. I've met with so many different people though throughout all my tests. I can't say to much else just that I highly recommend all the Dr's at Cleveland Clinic Florida.
I adore the staff at the Cleveland Clinic in Dr. Rosenthal's office. I was determined to make this decision on my own. I did and with their assistance, all of my questions have been answered and my doubts put asunder. I am comfortable with the pace of the initial consultation and the ability to stop in and visit for a brief moment during spare time.
Overall, I would rate Dr. Rosenthal and his staff as being superior in their field and commend them all the more.
- My first impression of Doc was a remarkably well spoken, genuine person. Awesome bedside manner.
- The lady who handles the insurance is a bit of a bear to deal with, but Doc is worth it. I am in the best hands in Florida!
- I like least? There is nothing in this that I do not like.....
- Future patients should know how highly respected and recommended he comes. But always do YOU homework. Take to him, make your OWN mind.
- Aftercare is the whole process to him. He says, with all modesty, that he cannot afford mistakes, so neither can we. We must follow the regimen.
- This guy has it all. He is VERY well qualified. I checked with an friend who is a attorney representing Docs in Malpractice cases. He says this man is sqeaky clean. And the bedside manner? He is a genuinely warm person interested in helping You and Me.
First Impression - Very informative and very personable. The fast pace of the first visit is a bit overwhelming.
There is ample written materials to explain every step of the way, in regards to the surgery, and what would be necessary before and after, physically, nutritionally, etc.
There is no information or guidance, on the order or steps necessary for the administrative things necessary before the surgery can take place.
Office Staff - Professional enough, but interaction leaves me feeling rushed and that my questions are, perhaps, unimportant. I would like to see common administrative questions and answers put in writing and included in the New Patient Packages to lessen having to call the office staff.
Aftercare - I continue to learn about this from many sources, not Dr Rosenthal, in particular. The monthly support groups are promoted.
Risks - Dr Rosenthal was very thorough in explaining the risks to me. Also at the support groups the surgeons always have post-op patients speak, who have had things go wrong during/after surgery.
I feel confident about having Dr Rosenthal for my surgeon. This feeling gets reinforced every time I hear him speak, in a group setting, or hear others speak about him in a positive way, or I hear about his successes, surgially. I anticipate a positive outcome, surgically, and feel Dr Rosenthal is well qualified.
