"I had my surgery consultation with Dr. Macura on 8/6/02 and I found him to be straight-to-the-point doctor who wasn't the friendliest man on the planet, but he was confident in his craft, honest, and very informative. His office staff were not the typical WLS office staff, running around with no time to even speak to the patient. I really enjoyed the visit.
Recently I met with his assisting surgeon Dr. Nicastro. Wow, is he a cutie! LOL... Seriously though, I found his straightforward and personable. He put me at ease about the surgery, its complications, and the recovery process. A great team!
NOTE: Dr. Macura is no longer with Staten Island University Hospital and I have chosen to continue with Dr. Nicastro as my after-care surgeon."
"Because I have Cigna, I was required to see a Psychiatrist. Even though I was not having my surgery at Mt. Sinai, Dr. Drooker was gracious enough to fit me into his schedule. He was thorough, straight forward, and extremely knowledgeable in Bariatric surgery. I would highly recommend him for your evaluation and/or post-operative care."
"The Center was alright except they originally scheduled me for a split sleep study so I wouldn't have to come back twice; the Tech forgot to apply the CPAP so I had to take time off work to come back a second time. Otherwise, everything was alright."
