I knew of Dr Roslin for some time because he performed the same sugery on my parents. Although a top nthc surgeron, he always answered my emails, answered my ever-present questions, and generally had a pleasant bed side manner. Catherine was also extremely helpful. I prefer a professionalism and thoroughness as opposed to a dotor who was like a friend but was vague. I recommend any and everyone I can to Dr Roslin, I know the office number by heart.
I went to go see Dr. Donna Rivera today and boy it was a trip. It took me 2hours to get to her office.She's in Brooklyn and I live in Jamaica,Queens. But it was worth the trip, she is so sweet I really felt comfortable talking to her, and I recommend her highly.
My first impression of Dr. Roslin was that he was an intelligent, experienced, confident doctor. He seemed concerned for me and seemed to understand the problems of the obese. I feel very safe having him perform the surgery. He answered my emails personally. I found Catherine, his Practice Manager, to be very professional. She always returned my phone calls. She knows what she's doing and I enjoyed dealing with her. She won't be warm and fuzzy but she will help you get insurance approval and get a surgery date. What more can you ask for? I did a lot of the leg work but I didn't mind as it made me feel in control. So far I am very happy with my decision to have Dr. Roslin perform the surgery. I hear he is one of the best in the USA as is Lenox Hill Hosp. in Manhattan. I have begun taking daily walks on my treadmill to ensure my lungs are healthy and strong. I am very excited about the surgery. I don't fear death or complications. I can only control so much, the rest I leave up to my higher power. I have only positive thoughts going in. I am so grateful that this life saving tool is available to me.
Post-op thoughts: Dr. Roslin was great. Confident, compitent, thorough, precise. I respect him and would have chosen no other. I HIGHLY recommend him.
I feel very comfortbale with my choice. I hear he's an excellent surgeon. Dr. Roslin is with Lenox Hill, I feel like I'm in good hands there. I have to say this about Dr. Roslin's office staff...I've read terrible things about one person on his staff in particular on this board, and I disagree, I found her to be business-like and professional. So what? I don't want to be her friend. I want a good surgeon and a an office staff that'll get me approved by the insurance company. One of things I liked best about Dr. Roslin was his professionalism and honesty when I asked questions like how many patients have you lost (2 out of 1600), both due to after care complications. And, who are your competitors?
I also consulted with Dr. Garber on LI and was very displeased with him (I was truly shocked that I didn't like him as I'd heard nothing but good things about him).
4/15/03 - My opinion has not changed about Dr. Roslin. 3 words. SIMPLY THE BEST!
My consultation with Dr. Roslin was on Thursday, December 5th. He seems knowledgeable and confident in this area. Based on his presentatiion, I feel like he prefers the RNY over the Lap Band. However, when I told him I was choosing the Lap Band, he did not give me a hard time. I've heard some horror stories about his assistant Katherine but I must've caught her on a good day. He spoke briefly about aftercare and I'm not sure if his aftercare is a structured program. He spoke openly and honestly about the risks related to both surgeries. I expressed a specific religious restriction and he was very accomodating.
04/03/03 - I have learned from my insurance company that I have been doing all the leg work. Even though my surgery is scheduled for tomorrow since they have just received everything needed, it can take between 24 and 48 hours to approve. Katherine dropped the ball. The insurance company also informed me that I was doing all the calling and no calls are registered from the doctor's office.
My first impressions of Dr. Roslins are that he is easy to talk to, highly informative and you get the feeling from him that he is compassionate to the ails of obesity. He answered all my questions and explained the types of operations offered as well as explain the possible risks. I left there feeling more at ease and comfortable in my choice of him as my surgeon.
Dr. Roslin was to be my surgeon for my Lap RNY. As my luck usually goes, there was that terrible blizzard. The day before surgery, I got a call from the office, and Catherine, the office manager asked me if I would be interested in having his partner, Dr. Kurian perform the surgery. I agreed. Dr. Kurian was terrific, and came to see me each of the next 2 following days. I had a minor complication and Dr. Roslin took over at that point. I feel that I was in good hands, as they are, in my opinion two of the best that NYC has to offer----a true team. I will continue to follow up with both of them as the appointments are available.
Dr. Roslin is very friendly and treated me with respect. The staff is very friendly. He addressed all the risks of surgery and has a very structured aftercare program. I haven't had my surgery yet.
A kind-hearted person, patient and open. I felt like I was chatting with a friend rather than being grilled for "evaluation". She made me feel very at ease and in follow-up calls, was very sweet and helpful. A delight to deal with!
