Dr. McMullen is very knowledgable very professional and very nice. Due to an unfortunate issue with scheduling I was forced to switch providers. I am now trying to find a physician at NYU in Manhattan who will be able to perform my surgery. Wish me luck.
What a super nice doctor. Unfortunately, I had to switch to an associate of her (also a nice doctor) due to insurance.
Dr McMullen was very warm and welcoming right from the first moment that I met her. She immediately put myself and my Husband at ease. The entire staff at United Surgical Associates are the best. They go out of their way to get me answers of put me in touch with someone that could. The only negative thing that I have is that I felt that my case was not pushed hard enough when my insurance company over one weight in 2007. They did not want to do an appeal based on my co-morbidities. I had to wait almost a year to resubmit to my insurance company when that one weight was no longer in in the picture. The doctor and her PA have made it their mission to make sure that I know what to expect and what to do after surgery. I have already received the date and time of my post-surgical visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering having weight loss surgery in the NY/NJ area.
I feel that surgical competence is of utmost importance, but having a good bedside manner makes the entire package more complete.
Recently went in to my post-op check up and I enjoyed being with her. She was funny and made me feel comfortable.rnrnAt first she was all business. I liked that in a surgeon
Dr. Nicastro was wonderful throughout the entire process. I met with him my first surgical consult and he was very easy to talk to and not at all judgemental. You never felt rushed while talking to Dr. Nicastro. He clearly explained the surgery, risks and complications and gave an honest assessment of whether or not the surgery was for me.rnrnOn the actual date of my surgery, both Dr. Nicastro and Dr. McMullen were in the operating room. I would say they both were very nice to me and honestly, Dr. Nicastro's level of surgical competence could not be beat.
I am very happy with my surgical team! I say team because my success is not the result of one person only. At Staten Island University Hospital Center for Surgical Obsesity it is a team effort that makes this program successful!rnDr.'s Coppa, Nicasto & McMullen are all fine surgons who are ver competent. I would highly reccommend them!
Friendly, approachable, knowledgeable--the staff is great, very helpful. Lindis the nurse practitioner is fabulous.
Dr. Nicastro is a very straight forward person. Someone I could definately relate to and work with on any and all procedures needed that will lead up to my gastric bypass procedure.rnrnI ended up with Dr. Nicastro after the first hospital (LIJ) decided they couldn't take care of my procedures and needs anymore.rn
'I thought she was knowledgeable and a straight talker. She didn't hold anything back and answered any questions I had. That staff is excellent. Thay have a large staff with seperate people to handle different aspects of the process. The office stresses aftercare. She was honest and up front about all possible complications. She was tough when it came to my situation and weight stressing what I needed to do to lose some weight before we could proceed
