i was impressed with dr rosenthal from the start his education and experience are impressive but unlike other drs he is very much a real person
his office staff is sympathetic and very competent
dr rosenthal went into minute details about risks
i think he is great definately a 10
I first met Dr. Szomstein in Aug 2002. And I liked him right away. He was kind, informative and seemed to really care about his patience. My PCP referred Dr.S to me as I was diagnosed with gallstones and was also considering and gathering info for WLS. So I figured it's all in the same area and I could just have one surgery to fix both problems. Dr. S. looked over my medical records and sayed it would be advisable to take your gallbladder out first. Long story short, I completed all of my test for WLS in Nov,2002, and went for surgery on Jan 28, 2003 to take my gallbladder out. It was so smooth I went home the next day. And now I am set for RNY March 18th 2003. My impression has not changed about him and I trust him completly. The staff is sometimes short tempered, but I guess that is because they are so busy and understaff. My first impression of the dietician was not favorable. That's all I will say on her! Even though Dr. Rosenthal & Szomstein are very well experinced in there surgical practice. The over-all program could use a little more revising. Especially with and when they should send in for Insurance approval. Overall I rate the Doctors an 8.
I met with Dr. Rosenthal for the 1st time on 6/6/02. He was very nice , to the point and thorough. Most of my visit was spent with an assistant and then with the nutritionist. The staff seems to be nice and interested in your best interest. I was explained the procedure, pros and cons and shown a video on an actual procedure. Now I just have 20 million things to get done.
2/22/03 HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL- DR ROSENTHAL'S BED SIDE MANNERS WERE GREAT. HE VISITED ME EVERYDAY BRIEFLY. SUPER DOC.
9-13-02 Met Dr Rosenthal from the Cleveland Clinic in Westin,Fla (just west of Ft Lauderdale). Very nice, and highly recommended from my other Dr at the clinic also. He has done about 250 operations as of this date with little or no complications.
His staff was great and make you feel at ease with the office procedures. They will start scheduling appoints right after the Holiday on 9-17-02.
Dr Rosenthal advises you of all the risks and also of all the benefits that will come out of the operation. I would rate him a 9 out of 10, just because no one is perfect !
post op note 2-1-03 Couldnt have placed my surgery in better hands than Dr Rosenthal and his great staff. All went smoothly and care was excellent.
He came highly recommended. I was initially seen by the assistant, but requested to see Rosenthal himself. I felt that the consultation was rushed, however I was already versed on WLS. I had been doing 6 months worth of research already. The only thing I wanted to know was what type of patients he recommends for the lap-band surgery. At that time, I was still undecided. Dr. Rosenthal was very knowledgable about the subject and made a good impression on me.
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.
