Dr. Rowitz is professional, yet down-to-earth. So far, my impression of him has not changed. His staff is very friendly and never mind answering questions. He takes extra precautions both before and after surgery to make sure the patient is well cared for with no complications. Even though he does a lot of weight-loss surgeries, it is not run like a cattle ranch.However,this web site also asks what I like least about him or his practice, so here goes.In my own personal experience,I felt I did not get enough nutritional training before or after surgery, just a general discussion and a few pages of foods.I also wish I had received some psychological counseling for what I was about to encounter- withdrawal of my addiction to food. Maybe some counter-active techniques would have been helpful.
Dr. Rowitz made me feel very comfortable about him as a Doctor, I really liked him. His offic estaff was very nice and answered all the question I might of had.
There was nothing I didn't like about him, he has a very nice bedside manner as we all know.. all doctor's do not always have. He does have an aftercare program and I hope to be able to attend as often as I can. at this time I would rate Dr. Rowitz an 8..I'll have to see how I feel after my surgery for the other 2%
Dr. Rowitz is a consummate professional. He is informative, very open about the surgery but definitely approachable. His staff is wonderful. I have called them with questions and they have quickly and efficiently answered them.
My first expression with Dr. Rowitz was a caring, professional, talented, doctor. I have checked out another doctor in Charleston and was unimpressed with his attitude , caring, and professional image. When I first meet Dr.Rowitz I knew this is the one I would trust my life with. He was very imformative and telling us everything about the surgery and cared so much that if he thought you couldn't go through the surgery he wouldn't do it. He's not about making money if so he would do surgery on everyone not caring if you made it or not. He's is about giving you a new healthier life. I would recommend him to my fullest ability. You do not find many doctor's like Dr. Rowitz I am very pleased with my decision. Only thing I don't understand is why medicaid don't pay for a phsycology evaluation but will pay for an expensive surgery. Medicaid knows we have to have this to get the surgery and get healthier and if we had 300.00 for the test we wouldn't be on medicaid.
The first time I met Dr. Rowitz was at a information seminar. It was obvious how much he cares about you and wants you to succeed. My appointment in his office is next Thursday May 13, 2004.
It is obvious his staff was hand picked by him. They are so caring. His office is for the obese person. Lg. BP cuff, chairs that are comfortable for an obese person. Everyone is so caring and wants you to succeed.
Yes he does emphasize aftercare. He does have a structure program.
Yes he explained all the risk.
I would rate he as excellent surgeon.

I THINK THAT DR. ROWITZ IS THE GREAT'S AND SO IS HIS STAFF. THEY MADE ME FEEL LIKE THEY WANTED THIS FOR ME AS MUCH AS I DID. AND EVERYTIME I HAVE CALLED THEM THEY DIDN'T ACT LIKE THEY WHERE MAD OR DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TALK TO ME.. I GIVE THEM AN A+++++!!!
MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF DR. ROWITZ WAS A GREAT ONE HE REALY TOLD ME EVERYTHINGI REALY NEEDED TO HEAR AND WHAT I WONTED TO KNOW. I LIKED HIM ALOT.
When I first met Dr. Rowitz I immediatley felt at ease with him. He was very open about all the risks associated with bariatric surgery as well as the benefits. I felt like he truly cared and he didn't treat me as "just another patient". He took the time to answer my questions and encouraged me to come to support group and talk with his other patients. He has a wonderful office staff that truly care about the patients. Dr. Rowitz is not only a wonderful surgeon but a wonderful person as well. The care and concern that he shows toward his patients in unbelieveable. We become his patients for life. He is very concerned with how we are doing even years after the surgery. In my opinion there's not a better surgeon around.
