Bradley J. Needleman Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

I actually didn't meet Dr. Needleman until about a week before my surgery. (this was after going through the 6 month pre-op weight loss program and receiving my insurance approval, a total of 9 months). I was impressed with Dr. Needleman and very satisfied with my surgery experience and post surgical care. I saw Dr. Needleman for my post op care initially (he did my first 2 fille). Since then I have seen the NP for my fills and follow-up. After the initial 6 mos post op there was not any structured aftercare program, I would highly recommend Dr. Needleman and the OSU Bariatric Surgery team.

Dr. Needleman is outstanding. He has a great bedside manner. He took time with me and answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable with him caring for me. He's done a lot of bypasses and bands. OSU is a center of excellence. OSU requires an admission packet to the program, a screening exam, psych exam, and various clearances depending on your health. They also required some weight loss. I attended a 6 month nutrition, exercise, and counseling program. I was in the hospital for 4 days. I was very happy with my room, stay and the staff at OSU. He wrote me for 6 weeks off and I needed that due to the pain and recovery. I was seen at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months and will be seen at a year. They see you yearly forever after that. I would recommend OSU, Dr. Needleman, and gastric bypass surgery to anyone in need of it. It was one of the best decisions I've made. I feel great! I've had no complications.

he had me go through a lot of things b4 the surgery 2 get ready which shows me how thorough he is.its all 4 my benefit and wellbeing.all the instructions i have 4 afterwards has left me confident that its all going to go great!

Dr. Needleman is a soft spoken, but very assuring of his skills. He came very highly recommended to me and over time I have come to see him as a part of my family. (I don't like doctors)His office staff is always there to answer any questions and they talk to you as they would their best friend. They all make sure you have all the proper before and after care training and that you understand everything. I have never had any second thoughts about the surgery before or after, due to the fact everything was explained to so I understood it. I would highly recommend Dr. Needleman and his staff to anyone. I am very pleased with the way everything has gone so far.

Could not be happier with Dr. Needleman. He was my surgeon previously and I am so happy he was able to perform my surgery this time as well.

Doc thanks again you were great. I feel good and ready for a new life with Bariatic. Your Staff was great. Anyone thinking aboout RNY here is your doctor.

I cant say enough good things about Dr Needleman and his staff. He is very down to earth and warm. His staff is very good at answering any questions you may have and returning phone calls very quickly. His bedside manner is much more personal than a lot of surgeons. The office staff has been wonderful and never made me feel like I was bothering them or that any question was stupid. Im so glad I chose Dr Needleman and OSU hospital.

My first impression of Dr. Needleman was that he is a kind, committed, intelligent man who has dedicated himself to doing this kind of work. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and my impressions of him have not changed since the initial visit.rnrnThe office staff is kind and helpful, though sometimes seem to be over-booked and confused.rnrnFor me, surgical competence is the number 1 priority--a good bedside manner is a nice addition. Dr. Needleman has displayed both of these!

GREAT!! He explained everything and was great throughout the entire process. I would recommend him to anyone!!rn

I met Dr. Needleman during our information session at OSU. My first impression of him was great. He seemed very informative and down to earth. I like that. He pretty much just laid all the info out there ... good and bad.
