After doing some research I figured out I might be a candidate for a laparoscopic robotic procedure. Lucky my health insurance company was in network with Dr Brathwaite because there was only a handful of surgeons like him that do the procedure near where I live. Took a little waiting but once everything was planned and approved , the Dr and NYU/ Winthrop facility /staff did a great job. The whole process was way better and faster than I expected. I'm 8 weeks post op now and I've been feeling normal for the past 4 weeks, returned to work after 2 weeks. Thank you Dr Brathwaite and staff I finally feel normal after several years with a deformed abdomen.

Dr. Geiger spends time with me, listens carefully, explains things to me, and generally puts me at ease because you can just tell how caring he is.

He is always doing things like this---small acts of kindness that just reinforce what a good guy he is.

However this is her 3rd time back in the hospital since 10/12. We came to visit her and I didn't know that kids couldn't come in since my 8 year old niece was in the lobby the day before. The next day they tell me that my 4 year old grandson couldn't be allowed IN THE BUILDING. Then 2 days ago I come and see kids in the lobby. Not only do I see kids in the lobby but one of those kids was with 4 people and was able to see their loved one. Meanwhile, they say it's only two visitors. Also 2 days ago the charge nurse Nicole allowed 4 people to come up to see my niece's neighbor. Today I asked if there was any way that a 3rd person could come up real quick and they said no. Of course, I told all of them how selective they are. So yes, the care of my niece was good except for 1 nurse Daniel he was horrible. However, the way they treat SOME people is uncalled for.

Jessica is new and she definitely knows what she's doing. I'm certain she will go very far. Jerry is *phenomenal* and is also a teacher in PT schools outside of being an actual therapist. It shows in his didactic way of interacting with his patients. He's got a great personality and educates at every opportunity he gets. He's a great therapist and definitely the best I've had for sure. If you go there for PT try to get Jerry Parackel as your therapist. I wish there was a more direct way to make a phone call to the front desk-the only real downside. The Aides are all great and the facility is top notch. New equipment and very well-maintained. 5/5 recommend!

The number…read moreis 718-818-4020 I decided to have gastric bypass this past summer after a long struggle with my weight due to PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome. I chose Dr. Barkan because his office was near to my home in Staten Island. The doctor saw me in June and discussed the two surgeries he is performing at the moment. I was initially thinking of having the gastric sleeve procedure but changed to gastric bypass on account of starting to become diabetic. I wanted to reverse my diabetes and other conditions quickly. The initial visit consists of a weigh in, meeting with the surgeon and then a review of the program pre-requisites with his nurse. You are given a list of appointments and tests that must be completed prior to scheduling surgery. They have a list of doctors that you can choose from to complete the pre-testing or you can go to your own doctors. I used all of the recommended doctors except one. I found it very easy to complete the required workup. I was finally scheduled for surgery in early August 2020 and my surgery went very well. When I returned home I had a few incidents of feeling weak and Dr. Barkan returned my calls almost immediately. I felt very cared for by Dr. Barkan. I had a complication from having food stuck in my new pouch and ended up in the emergency room screaming in pain. That was due to trying to progress through the stages too quickly and eating too large a portion of canned salmon. The initial diagnosis was small bowel obstruction which normally requires surgery. Dr. Barkan in his wisdom decided to observe me for twenty four hours instead. I avoid an unnecessary surgery and he even had his nurse come to my bedside in the hospital to troubleshoot what went wrong. His nurse spent a good half hour retracing my steps with regards to my diet. He came to see me two days in a row and gave me encouragement to slowly resume my diet again. I am doing much better but going slow with adding foods. I think Dr. Barkan is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Not to mention a great doctor. You will be safe with Dr. Barkan. Go for it!
