"I feel very comfortbale with my choice. I hear he's an excellent surgeon. Dr. Roslin is with Lenox Hill, I feel like I'm in good hands there. I have to say this about Dr. Roslin's office staff...I've read terrible things about one person on his staff in particular on this board, and I disagree, I found her to be business-like and professional. So what? I don't want to be her friend. I want a good surgeon and a an office staff that'll get me approved by the insurance company. One of things I liked best about Dr. Roslin was his professionalism and honesty when I asked questions like how many patients have you lost (2 out of 1600), both due to after care complications. And, who are your competitors?
I also consulted with Dr. Garber on LI and was very displeased with him (I was truly shocked that I didn't like him as I'd heard nothing but good things about him).
4/15/03 - My opinion has not changed about Dr. Roslin. 3 words. SIMPLY THE BEST!"
"From the moment I arrived for surgery to the moment I left, I couldn't have felt in better hands. The Iraq invasion (3/18/2003) began when I was there (in NYC...high terror alert), I felt very safe. Staff couldn't have been better. All the nurses and staff were WONDERFUL. Really tough tough nurse the second day (my first real day after surgery), said I'm not helping you get out of bed, get out yourself, you can do it, you don't need my help. Start walking and taking deep breathes without me, it's the only way you'll recover. Initially, really pissed, but she empowered me to "just do it" and I came home the NEXT day (had surgery on Tuesday at 11:00, home by 2:30 on Thursday) and feel very good, except for expected pain and GAS! buuurrrrppp!"
