Haven't met him yet. He is considered THE DUDE for lap rny in the city. His staff is awesome, esp. Bobbie-what a patient, wonderful woman! Aftercare is a priority, and precare is very structured, but geared toward your long-term success. I'll let you know more when i meet him.
6/14--Met Dr. Needleman today--what a guy!!! I am very particular about my health care, and was ready with a whole page of questions. But when he was finished with his explanation of the procedure,etc, I had ZERO questions left to ask!!! I am very comfortable having him perform my surgery--no worries at all!!!!

I was very pleased with my experience at this hospital. The nursing staff was excellent and very attentive. They seemed a little stressed, but were always pleasant and helpful. The dietary aide was RUDE. I couldn't have cared less about my tray because I wasn't hungry, but I heard her interaction with other patients and I would have fired her on the spot if she had been in my employ.

Dr. Needleman is a very kind man. During this journey he has seen me at odd times - worked me in between surgeries, and is very insistant that I phone him if there are any problems.

Therein lies the problem. To get to him you must go through about 7 layers of secretaries, nurses, etc. His nurse, Lynn, is very prompt at returning phone calls, and will fax test results to you if you ask. I've learned to keep copies of EVERYTHING.

Aftercare for long-term post-ops is non-existant at OSU. This is a big problem for me.

I rate Dr. Needleman very highly in competence AND bedside manner. I think I have had good luck with him because I am well-informed and can ask the right questions.

My hospital experience wasn't wonderful, however. Somebody forgot to hook up a "pump" when I came out of surgery, so when the nasty male nurse, Chris, yelled at me "USE YOUR PUMP!!" a couple hours out of surgery, I somehow found the wherewithall to yell back at him "I DON'T HAVE A #@#DAMN PUMP!" I got a pump about 3 hours later....

Paula B. for Bradley J. Needleman

Dr. Needleman is quite impressive. He obviously knows his stuff and is very forthcoming with information regarding the procedure and risks. He was very open to ALL of my questions, never rushing me, which inspired a lot of trust. Great sense of humor and a willingness to *hear* what I was saying, not just listen. He asked me about my reasons for having the surgery as well as behavioral changes I have been making. He really cares as much about your before and after care as he does the surgery itself. He seems to have a pretty structured after care schedule of follow-up appointments and was willing to give me the name of colleagues in Cincinnati, in the event I have a problem and can't get back to Columbus quickly enough. Overall, I am completely confident in his surgical abilities and I am at peace with my decision to have him perform my surgery.

As all Hospitals seem to be now the staff is overworked being a nurse I felt kinda guilty asking for help and I did as much as I could for myself. Maybe that was a good thing

Dr Needleman was great, Very informative he explained everything to me before I could get to the qestion I had. He performed my surgery Perfectly.. I had no leaks altho my Resident thought I did... But I did get a wound infection while in the hospital.
When ever I call Dr Needlemans staff I always get an answer back...My Only complait isn't really a complaint but I would have liked to see More of Dr Needleman I know he is very busy and his residents are very capable.He is very very involved with after care he wants to know what is going on even if you think it is minor.. He is a very caring Dr.

Melinda K. for Bradley J. Needleman

He seemed very knowledgable. He gave a lecture at Ohio State University on Gastric Bypass. No my impression is still the same. One of his staff members had had the surgery. Everyonw was helpful and nice. There was nothing I didliked about him. My surgery went well, so I think he is a good surgeon. OSU makes you go through classes that set you up for aftercare. He was very open and honest about the risks of surgery. He was a very good surgeon. Both. No.
