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.

The minimum wait in the infusion waiting area is 2-3 hours and the supervisor just does not care. I walk in the back during my wait and see half the treatment rooms empty. I know it is not the nurses fault but it is truly the manager who does not know how to handle the work flow. We have been getting treatments there over a year and a half and the excuses are weekely. Every other program moves us through the treatment day 100X more efficiently. The MSK reputation is truly not worth the added stress of treatment.

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!
