Northern Westchester Hospital Surgical Weight Loss Program Hospital
I made my decision to have Dr. Roslin perform my surgery after attending a support group at Lenox Hill Hospital, that his practice runs. He is extremely knowledgable and very straightforward when discussing anything having to do with Gastric Bypass surgery. I could not be happier with my choice to have him as my surgeon and highly recommend him to anyone considering having Gastric Bypass.
I was very impressed with Dr. Roslin. He does three differnt type of surgeries, the rny, ds and lapband, and he spoke about the pro and cons of each of them. I loved his office, they have oversized seats, which I thought was very cool. I've been to another bariatric surgeons office and he had small tight fitting chairs. Dr. Roslin's staff was nice and helpful as well. I was impressed by Dr. Roslin's mortality late, which was extremely low. As I recall, the last patient they had lost due to complications was three years ago. Dr. Roslin is very too the point and honest. He answered all my questions and even responds to my emails in a timely manner.
When I first walked in to the office I was pleased to see how clean and elegant it looked, It was like walking in to a 5 star hotel lobby. The seating for us big people was amazing, it was a surprise to me because every time I go to any office I seem not to fit in any of their chairs. The staff was friendly, nothing out of the ordinary. Dr. Roslin explain all the operations and which are beneficial to certain people. I had my mind set on the Lap Band but after having my private consultation with Dr. Roslin, he explained why it wouldn't help me. I felt at ease it his explanation of the procedure, but with time I can't help but to feel afraid of actually going thru with it. In the waiting room everyone there shared they experienced good and bad and overall none of them expressed regret, they were just very happy and grateful that now they can do things that they just couldn't before. I really want to do it but I am really afraid of dying during the operation.
My first Impression of Dr. Roslin was a little Intimidating but over time I have he just Is very serious about what he does. He Is likeable and very full of knowledge. So far all the staff have been great and may be busy at times but him and his practice are worth the wait and by far have been the best that I havew consulted with. There Is nothing about him that I dislike and I love the fact that he emphasizes aftercare! It's a structured program/practice and he addresses all the risks and works with and not dictates to the patient about the surgery best for you. He was very supportive In my choice for the Open BPD/DS. I would rate Dr. Roslin a 10+++++++++++!!!!!! He has great surgical competence from what I can tell and I am sure his bedside manner will be just as great, I'll let you all know after my surgery!!!!
When I first met Dr. Roslin, I thought wow kinda young, but ok. Over time I realized he was the perfact Dr. for me. He is very into educating you, lots of information about the whole process from start to finish. You will never have to wonder what your surgery will be like he puts it right there in black and white for your review. The staff at the office are all very easy going down to earth and so, so helpful. When I first came home from the Hospital I must have drove Catherine crazy, but she was always helpful and polite. I like the fact that Dr. Roslin knows his stuff, he gets the job done, and will talk to you about any problems you might be faced with, and he gives it to you straight. For all furture patients my advice is if you are really ready for surgery, then Dr. Roslin is ready to help you, he is highly recommanded in the state of New York and I have several friends (about 3) besides my self whom he has performed surgery for and they are all doing great! At Dr. Roslin's office aftercare is the most important part of your surgery and they give you step by step details how to take care of yourself. The aftercare program is so structured you can't mess-up (unless you want too, you have to want to make the change in your life or don't bother). As far as the risk factors like I said before, at his office they tell you everything including all the risk factors (including death) and also send you home with written details in regards to the risk. Over all I think that Dr. Roslin and his team are the best, and am glad I selected them for such an important and difficult process in my life, they give me a new life and I thank God for sending me to his office and guiding his hands to perform a maricle that has changed my life forever. His sugical competence and bedside manner are both excellent! Sorry if this sounds suspect, but the treatment I received was 110% and I mean that from the heart, THANKS DR. ROSLIN AND THE WHOLE TEAM FOR BRINGING JOY BACK TO MY LIFE!
PRE-OP: I am very impressed with Dr. Roslin. He was very relaxed and funny when I met with him. He is very honest and straight forward about all the different procedures, risks, and restrictions post op. He doesn't do it to scare but to make sure you are making an informed decision.
POST-OP: I remain very impressed with Dr. Roslin. His years of experience and surgical skills make him one of the top bariatric surgeons in the country. Although he was often rushed in both the hospital and office settings, he remained friendly and willing to spend extra time, if needed, to address clinical issues. He has a good bedside manner when with you although visits are brief. However, he replys promptly to all email and runs outstanding monthly support groups.

Dr. Roslin seemed confident, down to earth, and most importantly, competent. A small group was given a demonstration of the available procedures. It was straightforward, and pros and cons were addressed. Next we each met with our surgeon seperatly. The meeting was short, but again, direct. I was able to ask all of my questions, and then he gave his recommendation. I am now scheduled for laproscopic bypass on Jan. 28th! Aftercare was not discussed, so Im assuming this will happen at the hospital, prior to discharge.
Overall I have been treated very well so far.
My first impression was comfort, I was referred by a friend, and when I heard he worked on public figures, I was even more confident he knew exactly what he was doing.
Overtime, my impression of Dr. Roslin has not changed. I could not be happier with the services provided by his staff and the immediate attention I was given upon calling after hours with questions regarding drainage and shortness of breath. My call was returned shortly after and questions answered with no problem.
