Ohio State University Medical Center Hospital
Dr. Needleman is a very warm and caring doctor. He cares for you as a person and not just another body to operate on. He allowed me to come back and answered the rest of the questions that I had. He did address the risks of surgery. I would rate Dr. Needleman very high. Both surgical competence and bedside manner is very important. Dr. Needleman was honest and open about the risks of surgery.
I HAD A PRIVATE BARIATRIC SUITE. IT WAS LARGER THAN ANOTHER ROOM AND MY HUSBAND STAYED WITH ME. THE BATHROOM WAS HUGE AND THE CHAIRS BIGGER FOR THE LARGER PATIENTS. THE GOWNS WERE HUGE AND WONDERFUL. THEY ACTUALLY WRAPPED AROUND ME AND THEN SOME!!! WHEN MY ROOM DOOR WAS CLOSED, IT WAS QUIET IN THERE, PLUS AS DARK AS I WANTED IT TO BE. THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL VIEW OUT THE HUGE PICTURE WINDOW IN MY ROOM AND I GOT TO SEE DOWN TOWN COLUMBUS. THE ONLY THING I COULD BE NEGITIVE ABOUT WAS THEIR CHICKEN BROTH. IT WAS LIKE THEY DRUG A PIECE OF CHICKEN THROUGH A HOT BOWL OF WATER AND CALLED IT BROTH. BUT THEN AGAIN, I WASN'T EXACTLY HUNGRY EITHER!!! THE NURSES WERE WONDERFUL AND CHEERFULL EACH AND EVERYTIME THEY CAME INTO MY ROOM. THEY MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WASN'T A BURDEN TO THEM, AND I TRIED NOT TO BE!!! I'D TELL OTHERS TO GO THERE AND TO MY WONDERFUL DR. BRADLEY NEEDLEMAN!!!
Knowledgeable, professional and caring
It did not he is the most knowledgeable and caring perfessional I have met.
Very good.
His patients should come prepared to ask questions and he will give you the answers or tell you who can answer them.
A great deal. He has been a speaker at the support group meetings I attend and he always lets me know that I can speak to him or the nutritionist or nurse on his staff at any time.
Very straight forward and explained so I could understand.
A "10"
Both great!!
Dr. Needleman explained the procedure and was willing to answer any questions I had.
He also seems to have a pleasant caring demeanor and great beside manners.
His office staff is always professional and friendly! His nurse is very patient and has a sweet disposition.
The OSU bariatric program does a great job with educating you on aftercare, and informing you about the risks.
I have recommended Dr. Needleman to others and rate him a 10, on a scale 1-10.
I find surgical competence and beside manners are a must when I'm looking for a Physician.
