The only Doctor I ve ever been to that values your time as much as his. Have never waited in his office over a few minutes. Super Doctor. Recommend him to all friends. Actually look forward to seeing him. His staff and everyone first class.

Basically he blasted a kidney stone and find out a week later it is still there. Radiologist brings it to our attention and he says he will not treat it. Today I am leaving the hospital in horrible pain due to "the kidney stone he blasted"! You expect doctors to take care of you. This one was not good.

Excellent staff and very professional. The callback after surgery was reassuring that he cares about his patients. I would recommend him to my friends and family.

Very unprofessional. Acted as if my problem was not important. Spent all of three minutes, maybe just 2 with me and I never seen him again. I will not return. Don't waste your hard earned money on him. Go else where.

I would not recomend this procedure,in my instance,problems,blood in semen and seemsto have brought back a varicose seal that Dr Rose operated on several years ago The procedure was done at the office and i was not given the proper drugs prior,was very painful. After the procedure I am still get up at least 5 times a nite. This is a money maker for the doctor. Very disatisfied

I said forget it! go to dr. schoor in smithtown, this guy is excellent!! i went there 3 months later, did it in his office! very prepared and knew what he was doing! dr.rose was not prepared, and used old methods: and wanted to put me under for a minor thing!
