STARTED IN OCT 06 WITH DR BOE, HE WAS GREAT BUT THEN THEY CLOSE THE CLINIC AND HE LEFT TO GO OUT EASTrnrnTHEN I GO WITH DR.MCCLELLAN AND I MEET HER AND THINK SHE IS WONDERFUL BUT BECAUSE OF A CONFLICT I HAD WITH HER STAFF I CHOOSE TO USE ANOTHER DOCTOR.rnrnI AM NOW USING DR ROSEN, I WILL HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HIM 7-10-07 AND MAYBE FINALLY I CAN GET TO THAT LOOSERS BENCHrnrn7/10/07 HAD MY APPOINTMENT WITH DR ROSEN......I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH HIM AND HIS STAFF! HE IS THOROUGH. WHY DIDN'T I JUST GO THERE TO START WITH? I HAVE WASTED A LOT OF TIME.rnrn10/22/07 HAD MY SURGERY DATE AND STARTED OUT WITH LAP RNY TURNING INTO OPEN RNY.......DR ROSEN HAD PREPARRED ME WELL FOR THE NEW SURGERY I HAD COME OUT WITH SO THERE WERE NO SURPRISES, AND MAYBE A LITTLE DISSAPPOINTMENT. MY CARE THRU DR. ROSEN AND HIS STAFF IS THE BEST. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED I AM VERY BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH GOOD CARE FROM DR.ROSEN....HE REALLY IS THE BEST.

I reside in Indiana but traveled to Illinois to have weight loss surgery performed by Dr. Jeffrey Rosen, June 2006. I am an RN, and believe me, I researched weight loss surgery and various surgeons who specialize in bariatrics prior to my decision. I chose Dr Rosen based on his excellent skills, credentials, and he was highly recommended. Dr Rosen is very caring, and the program he developed for before and after care is superior. His staff is fantastic; highly educated, supportive and compassionate. I have not had any negative experiences, and no complications. I wouldn't recommend any other weight loss surgeon; and guess what...he now also has an office in MERRILLVILLE, INDIANA

I wouldn't trade my Surgeon for nothing, I don't know what I will do if he ever decides to retire, I trust him with my life.rnDr Rosen is very thorough and follows things to a \"T\" I feel totally safe with him and his staff, they are very personal and there when ever I need them no matter how silly I am.

I can't say enough good about Dr. Rosen. He took the time to explain everything to me and my Mom. Kept my Mom up to date on what was happening during surgery. He made sure Mom was well informed how I was doing after surgery. Dr Rosen is a very caring MD. He is very cautious with his patients and very protective as well. I have seen this as an RN working with his patients and now have had the good fortune to have experinced it from a patient's point of view as well. I highly recommend this MD to anyone looking for a surgeon.

He seems to be a cool guy. His program is great. They are really serious about what they do, I appreciate that.He is very real and to the point.

I think Dr Rosen is a very caring dr. I am so glad the center in Belevidere closed down. I would have more problems then I would know how to handle. I have been told its hard to find a dr to do fills if you can not get them from the dr who did surgery, at the best you are fit in around their patients. rnI had some trouble in surgery with the heart, but Dr Rosen took good care of me and there wasn't any thing wrong with it. I am afraid that if I had this surgery done at the first place things might not have turned out in my favor. rnI spent one night in the hospital had numerous test done to make sure things was ok with my heart.rn I think Dr R has a good bed side manor, his staff and wife are so kind that they make you feel like family.rnI had my 4 yr old grandson with me the day I meet with everyone, and he was annoying like all 4 yr olds are, Barbie gave him paper and caryons and he was making pictures for all the staff. Dr R's staff was patient with him and that scored big with me. rnI would recommend Life Weigh Bariatrics to anyone intrested in lap-band or RNY. rnYou can rest assured you would be in good hands!!!!

What can I say… Dr. Rosen is an extremely talented surgeon with a terrific bedside manner. He has a great sense of humor and really makes you feel at ease because he is down to earth and extremely easy to talk to. The entire staff at LifeWeigh Bariatrics is so helpful and continually go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that your entire experience is a pleasurable one. This is a full service program that not only prepares you for your surgery but follows you closely through your entire post-op journey to make sure that you stay on track and learn the life altering traits that will ultimately make you successful. Dr. Rosen and his entire staff truly care about their patients well being and I can honestly tell you from personal experience that you can’t be in better hands if your considering a procedure of this magnitude. I would like to thank everyone at LifeWeigh Bariatrics for helping me become the person I always hoped I could be!

I was extremely happy with Dr. Rosen. He made me feel confident and knowledgable about the surgery. He is very personable and answered any and all questions I had. I would highly recommend the WISH Center to anyone. The care starts with your first appointment and is always available.

I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Rosen and the care he has provided both before, during and after my lap band surgery in April 2006.rnrnI have had some minor complications with my band that have slowed the prgress in my weight loss until they can be resolved. Basically, my band could not be filled for a period of time due to a port infection.rnrnDr. Rosen has been absolutely supportive of me during that time and has worked with me to find the best solutions for me both as a patient and a person.rnrnDr. Rosen has an excellent bedside manor. His staff is well trained, compassionate, and knowledgble.rnrnI'm about halfway to my weight loss goal now. There is no one that I would recommend to people considering weight loss surgery more than I would Dr. Rosen.rn

I contacted Dr. Rosen's office the day after I heard that Barix Clinic in IL was closing and Dr. Boe was only doing one more week of surgeries. Barbie was so kind and understanding about my situation and scheduled an initial appointment right way as I was approved for surgery already. I was very impressed with Dr. Rosen and his staff. Dr. Rosen was warm, friendly and answered all our questions.rnThe nurse Barb, dietician and exercise physiologist were great and really addressed the importance of pre and post op programs. Dr. Rosen at my pre-oprnappointment discussed surgical risks to great extent and helped reassure me about my decision to have lap RNY. My husband and I are very pleased with Dr. Rosen and his staff and we feel that Lifeweigh Bariatrics was even a better choice than my original choice of Barix Clinic. It is closer to my house, the staff is small, they get back to you right away regarding insurance info, questions, test results and their pre and post op programs seem to be more thorough. Thanks Dr. Rosen for taking me on as a patient!
