Cleveland Clinic Florida Weston Bariatric Center

My first impression of Dr. Rosenthal was a good one. Very understanding and willing to answer any questions or concerns.His office staff is great , very knowledgeable and helpful with everything. Dr. Rosenthal gives an impresssion to everyone that meets him of an intelligent person that knows what he is doing and does it with passion. I have been asked who was my surgeon and the minute I mentioned his name they tell me he is the "BEST" in the country. I would rate him and his staff on a scale of 1-10, a 20. They definitely met all my expectation and some.
Thanks again

I met with Dr.Rosenthal on 11/18/05 and found him and his staff to be very informative and helpful with all my questions and helping to get all my pre-op appointments together. I seen one of his residents and he and I had good conversation and he was very knowledgable regarding the procedure and Dr.Rosenthal's expectations and care.

I also got to see up close and personal Dr.Rosenthals care. My co-worker had surgery with him on 11/17/05 and she is doing very well so far. When I walked in I was expecting her to be either in pain or some for of discomfort...she stated other than the gas in her tummy...she felt fine...so that eased my jiters alot although I know everyone is different.

I am scheduled to go to his class tomorrow evening and speak with the insurance person when I'm there.

I'm on my way!

My first impression was that he was very inteligent and well informed he seemed to care a great deal... Asured me that all will turn out fine.. Everything turned out Great!
His office staff is very disorganized but maybe they are too busy! My advice is for Patients just keep on them they will never return your call unless you are a pest and about the insurance get involved yourself they don't help much with that! Keep on it.. Fight for what u want~!!!!
Good Luck To All!!

I have just found out that the same Surgeon who performed the gastric bypasses on both my cousin and his wife is a contracted physician with my health insurance. Tomorrow, 8-2-2005, I will be contacting my PCP for a written referral. And so my journey truly begins.

9/2405 - I met with Dr Rosenthal and his staff at Cleveland Clinic Weston and I have to say they are all very compassionate people. Dr Rosenthal is a quiet man - however he is complete in his analysis and very responsive to your quesitons. He has a wonderful reputation and the Bariatric WL Center has it together.

Frist impression of doctor Rosenthal was "wow he has big eyes". So he surely will be able to see everything he needs to do. Which is a good thing. Dr.Rosenthal is very professional. When I first met with him he told me that I was perfect candiate for gastric bypass. He assured me that if all my testing went well I would have my surgery begining of 2005. For some reason once he told me about the date I knew I was in good hands. I also heard from friends that he was one of the best. My surgery was on Jan 3,2005 just like he said. I have no negative things to say about Dr.R. My surgery was very successful thanks to Dr.Rosenthal and his crew. Office staff however, are a bit rude at times. Not the entire staff. Just a few in which not mention any names. Rosenthal is very straightforward when he meets with you he gose over your qualifications and tells you about surgery and what procedures you have to follow and do. Overrall, I rate him out 1-10. A ten. This men knows exactly what his doing and if you choose to to go with him you are in the best hands. Along with with the heavenly father, of course. When you go to oreintation Dr.Rosenthal will expalin everything you need to know about gastric bypass. He will answer any of questions you may have. He's fantistic. I will definately recommend him.

dr rosenthal is a great doctor. He is compassionate. His staff is caring and understanding. when i went in for my surgery he made sure i got to say goodbye and kiss my husband before he started the surgery. The staff is well informed and i could not find a better doctor or facility to go to. The hospital staff was great and they took good care of me. right down to a bath with real baby powder for my back.

he is great. very careful i love him.
his office was very busy but great also. my impression hasnt changed. i would recommend him highly to anyone.

I MET DR. ROSENTHAL FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THE INFORMATIVE SECTION AT THE HOSPITAL, I LIKED HIM RIGHT AWAY, HE HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TYPE OF PROCEDURE, HE EXPLAINED THE PROS AND CONS OF THIS SURGERY.
I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE HIM, AND AFTER THE APPOINTMENT I STILL HAD A GOOD FEELING ABOUT HIM. HIS OFFICE STUFF IS ALSO NICE, BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP ON CALLING TO GET THINGS DONE. HE SAYS THAT AFTERCARE IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP TO TAKE AFTER THE SURGERY, AND SHOULD BE DONE REGULARLY; IT IS OFFERED BY HIS STUFF.
OVERALL I RATE HIM VERY GOOD, I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT HIS BEDSIDE MANNERS AFTER THE SURGERY.

Dr. Rosenthal, small in stature, is HUGE in his field. He is well trained and is a great teacher to his peers. He is humorous and affectionate and is very willing to answer any questions. He has been expanding his practice and is trying shared medical appointments to meet with many patients at one time. There are now two evening post op meetings per month and several a month during the work day. The nutritionist and psychologist from his team also are available to meet with you in a group or individually. Dr. Rosenthal is such a caring individual with remarkable bed side manners.

In my first consult with Dr. Rosenthal I thought he was very nice. He and his staff have been very efficient and helpful along the way!
He is very mch to the point, everything is laid out for you at your first meeting down to the very last detail. I was very impressed as to the time that is spent on what each insurance company will and won't pay for.

They seem to have eberything down to a science as far as how to get you approved.

He and the staff vey much emphasize an aftercare, and ecercise plays a main part in your everyday life.

Dr. rosenthal again lays all the good and bad out on the table for you at your first meeting, as to the risks of this surgery.


Overall I liked Dr. Rosenthal and all of his staff, they are all very nice and very helpful and caring individuals. My experience thus far has been great.

Anita is wonderful and very helpful as to getting the insurance authorization together. I have emailed her with questions and she has alway gotten right back to me.
