Cleveland Clinic Florida/Bariatric Institute Bariatric Center


I have to say that so far my thoughts of Dr. Rosenthall and his staff are that they are a group of very impressive people! I had no problems scheduling my appointments, and a reminder call was made 2 days before. When I met Dr. Rosenthal, he was very likeable! He explained to me three different types of surgery and why the gastric bypass was best for me. I thought he was very knowledgeable about everything we spoke about! I did not feel rushed at all, he spent plenty of time with me (and my questions...LOL). He is the Head of the Section of Minimally Invasive Surgery, which means he does lots of laproscopies! He has you meet with a nutritionist and a psychologist and through testing before the surgery. I am very happy to have found Dr. Rosenthal and his staff!

When I first met Dr. Rosenthal I thought he looked like a very nice doctor. I was very nervous, so I didn't know what to expect. I have become more impressed with how him and his staff are so organized and on top of making sure that you get all your necessary pre op doctor's visits. The staff seems to be very nice and seem to be very competent. There was nothing that I didn't like about him. He explained in detail the procedure and answered all my questions. He didn't try to rush his answers. He emphasized after care everytime you talk to him and he wants you to make sure that you understand this is a lifetime change, not just a quick fix. He is straight forward with the risks of the surgery. He lets you know of everything that can go wrong. I rate him a 9 out of 10. I would like surgical competence and bedside manner, but if I had to choose, of course it would be surgical competence.
