Dr. Bessich is a rare bird in the world of NYC hospitals. She is a genuinely caring individual…read more She's very good at performing bronchoscopies. She has performed two brochoscopic procedures for me. I woke up from both with no discomfort at all. I've had such procedures performed at other facilities. They didn't go nearly as smoothly. And Dr. Bessich personally took the time to call me and discuss her findings at length. Who does that these days? It's very rare. I can't recommend her more highly. She's both very talented at what she does and she's a truly decent person.

I honestly don't know how I could ever put into words how grateful I am for my surgeon…read more I was diagnosed with colon cancer shortly after giving birth to my son, and to say I was terrified is an understatement. I initially went to MSK, where I was given an incredibly scary prognosis and was told things that completely changed the course of what I thought was going to happen. I was told my cancer was stage IV and that surgery was not the right option at that time. I left feeling completely devastated and unsure of what my future would look like, especially with a newborn baby at home. Then I found Dr. Rivadeneira From the very beginning, he treated me like a person, not just a cancer diagnosis. He took the time to look at my case, review everything carefully, and actually listen to my concerns. What meant even more to me was how much he genuinely cared. He even called me personally while he was on vacation to discuss my case. I will never forget that. He ultimately gave me hope when I desperately needed it and believed that surgery was worth pursuing. He performed my colon resection, and today I am cancer-free and continuing treatment with the goal of putting this chapter behind me for good. I truly believe Dr. Rivadeneira saved my life. As a 34-year-old new mom, I had so much to lose and so much to fight for. My son was born just weeks before I was diagnosed, and being able to come home to him after surgery and continue being his mother is something I will never take for granted. There are doctors who are good at what they do, and then there are doctors who change the entire course of someone's life. Dr. Rivadeneira is the latter. I will forever be grateful that I found him when I did. Thank you for giving me a chance to be here for my son.

He performed her colon resection masterfully and without any complications. Usually, surgeons are known for lacking empathy and tact. Doctor Rivadeneira is the exception.

He never rushed and was very detailed. He had some suggestions. One included a Cat scan w/ contrast for my heart- (His specialty is cardiology) due to certain issues. (I had been to the Cardiologist recently and he told me to come back in a year). Dr. Schantz discovered an 80 % blockage in an artery, which my Cardiologist was surprised to see. He was amazing with amazing referrals for other doctors. He is one heck of a diagnostician and a really caring, brilliant physician. He's amazing- I'm glad I'm seeing him. He may have saved my life, I HIGHLY recommend him if you are looking for what we used to call- a real family doctor.

This man and his gifted hands are absolutely miraculous. After seeking out what seems like a…read moremillion doctors to fix my problem I landed in Doctor Bederson's office. If he said he couldn't help me I was about throw in the towel and just try to live with the excruciating painful condition that plagued me for years. Medication didn't help, injections of nerve blocks didn't help and high doses of radiation to my head didn't help so at this point surgery was the only way to get my life back. I was a bit apprehensive about going to see him, I wanted to stay in New Jersey and have the surgery done out of the hospital my own doctor is affiliated with. Dr Bederson's office out of Mount Sinai medical center was a little bit of a trek for us(from New Jersey, not too far but even so it was well worth it, I would have traveled to California if he practiced out of a hospital there). We got to his office and immediately I knew I was where I needed to be(a neurologist referred me to him). He took time and answered all the questions I asked(which were plenty). He isn't like some doctors that only allot a certain amount of time with a patient so they can squeeze as many patients in as possible(more patients more money). I met with him in the beginning of the week, he pulled up my MRI and said "I can help you." I nearly cried in his office! It was amazing he scheduled the surgery for three days later. I know some surgeons make you wait months until the actual surgery date and the longer you wait the longer you are in pain. The day of the surgery came and Dr Bederson and his staff were exceptionally nice and soothing. I was nervous(not only was I having major surgery, but brain surgery to boot)! Dr Bederson explained everything that they would be doing and assured me that if I had any postoperative pain that they would take care of it immediately. After I woke up from the surgery I was sore as expected, but it was taken care of as promised, when the pain started getting out of control again, the nurses paged him and he was right on it, he makes sure all of his patients are comfortable(or as comfortable as can be when it comes to neurosurgery). I spent a good amount of time in recovery(there were no beds available until about midnight...keep in mind my surgery ended at noon, but that isn't the hospitals fault). A few times Dr Bederson came up to see me(since I was in recovery so long)and during his first visit he told me the surgery was a compete success. I was so happy, I could take the postoperative pain in the short term, rather than live with the pain I was having for the long term. He stopped by everyday I was in the hospital and three nights later I went home! It was amazing. I have a scar on the side of my head(a small part of my hair had to be shaved but my hair covers it completely). By looking at me you could never tell that a surgeon just operated on my brainstem. The world would be a better place if all doctors not only had the skill Dr Bederson had, but the bedside manner. This is a lot coming from me, because in general I don't like/trust doctors. So if you ever need neurosurgery(and I hope you don't) Dr Bederson is the BEST(he ranks in the top 5 in New York Magazines best doctors under neurosurgery. I highly recommend him.
