Weil-Cornell- Dankin or Afaneh?

Classc1 · June 18, 2019

Hi,

I will be making an appointment with cornell for a consultation. I was referred to Dr. Pomp but it is my understanding that he just retired. I have a choice to see either Dankin or Afaneh. Has anyone had Either for surgery? Although it’s my understanding that Dankin took over for Pam, the reviews for Afaneh online seem better. Thoughts? Thanks.

@Classc1I've been a patient there for a long time. Yes, Dr. Pomp has retired from Weill Cornell and will be at the U. Of Montreal. I know Dr. Dakin fairly well. He's taken over as chief. Afaneh has a decent reputation, too. I think it depends on which surgery you want as to who you see.

Thank you. I’m thinking the gastric sleeve.

@Classc1 I think either would be fine for that. If you want to speak to others about who they've used, you can always go to a bariatric support group there.
