I was very dissapointed, not in Dr. G. or the OR staff. But the nursing staff one was awful. My 2nd day out of surgery I was left without any pain meds for 9 hours! the 4 between doses and another 5 after that because they couldnt get a new IV started when my other one came out of the vein. No could "find a vein" althought the Night shirft came in and found one.. STRANGLY ENOUGH!
Handsome and kind- first impression. He took at least an hour to speak with me during the first appt. I could tell that he really cared.
I have been in nursing and hospital management for over 30 years and have NEVER seen such filth. I intend to speak to infection control and possibly the state. Shame on you, Mount Sinai.
He is a very personable doctor. I felt very comfortable discussing the surgery with him. rnHe answered all of my questions.rnrnRight before surgery he asked if I would consider the lapband instead of the RNY. I said yes. After surgery it turned out that it was a good thing we changed to the band.rnrnI feel that he is a talented, compassionate and caring doctor. He has a sense of humor yet is a professional.

He is one of the most caring Drs. His staff is incredibly helpful with everything. They made sure I had everything I needed and helped through the whole insurance nightmare. I would recomment him to any and everyone that is interested in this type of surgery.
My surgeon will be Dr. Ben-David who is with Surgical Associates of Shands @ UF. My first impression of him was FANTASTIC. He was very down-to-earth and approachable, explained everything to me, and answered all of my questions. He made me feel very confident about the surgery and him as a surgeon. He went into detail about aftercare, which was a concern of mine so I was glad to hear that. So far, I think he's awesome!rn**Update: I had my surgery on February 25th, 2008. Dr. Ben-David was great, I think he's a very skilled surgeon who also has a great bedside manner. He made me feel very comfortable, as he has a very low-key personality, but he also is very confident in his abilities and made me feel at ease. Everything went well, I am 6 days post-op and feeling good!
