Hi Cookie monster,

I didn't get my surgery there but did go for a consult there and was not happy with the practice. The dr was to willing to do the surgery.... I know sounds weird but he didn't talk about anything in my past . He was only interested in what surgery I wanted also they didn't give me much guidance just a "to do list" so I switched my doc and decided that the travel to the city was well worth it and mt Sinai is where I will be getting my surgery hopefully, sometime in may! I felt at home from the very beginning. Saw my surgeon and my nut on the same day. A referral for my psychological evaluation (cheaper than Brooklyn) and the nurse practitioner was great as well

P.S Brooklyn charged me a $45 co pay mt Sinai $0...... I just wanted to share my experience!!!!

Good luck on your journey!!!

Hi Jillian,

Thanks for the inf it helps to hear you experience. My pcp is in St.Luke Roosevelt Hospital...Their next available seminar is February/2013. That's a long time to weight plus by end of May/13.Will no longer be insurance so I would like this process to speed up a little. I will speak to pcp see if she can get me in sooner....Thanks for the insight.
