I met with Dr. Needleman on December 27,2000. He appears to be highly intelligent. I am more confident now that I have met him. Even more so now that I know he is an assistant professor of surgery at OSU.
During my exam, he answered all of my questions thoroughly and eased my mind regarding several post operative issues. Surgery is scheduled for January 16th (my birthday to boot!)
Wish me luck!
1/24/01- Dr. Needleman handled my surgery very professionally. I felt confortable with him. My only complaint would be that I did not see him prior to my actual surgery. I was already under anestesia before he came into the OR. I would have liked to see him for some reassurance prior. But he checked on my every day afterwards and that care was wonderful.
Dr. Needleman is a very professional yet caring and compassionate doctor. Even though he is part of a very busy practice with top notch surgeons, he allowed plenty of time to explain the surgery and address any questions or concerns I had. I felt comfortable with him right from the start. Ohio State is a teaching hospital so there were always residents observing but I never felt self-conscious or like just "another case" instead of a real person. They were all wonderful. The only criticism I could offer is that I wish I could have met him earlier in the process, that was a major consideration for me in deciding whether or not to have the surgery at all. But at OSU you do not actually meet the surgeon until the pre-op visit 1 week prior to surgery. They do have a more aggressive food plan than other WLS surgeons and that makes it much more tolerable. Aftercare is coordinated with a nutritionist and you are monitored closely. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering this surgery.
Dr. Needleman was great he answered all of my husbands and my questions and he did so in a very professional yet compassionate manner. I also found Dr. Needleman to be very humble although by all accounts he is a extremely talented surgeon. I felt very comfort with him and I have totally faith in his abilities.
Wow! Many people in the Central Ohio area are discovering this doctor. I found him to be GREAT! He took the time to answer all of my questions and discuss the surgery in detail. I saw him on tv tonight so I can guess that he will be getting more calls. He studied under Dr. Scott Melvin, who is said to be the laproscopic guru in the Columbus area. I was impressed with his confidence and his manner. Good luck to everyone!
