Dr. Saran Saul Rosner, MD

Dr. Rosner saw me today and was extremely thorough, took a ton of time and was very honest. I think he was the first doctor out of eight that diagnosed me correctly. I asked tons of questions and he very patiently answered all of them and he’s very compassionate and friendly and he genuinely showed interest in me. Love this guy. Phil Barone

I’ve been a patient of Dr Rosner’s for more than a year. I have a degenerative condition in my neck that requires occasional attention. I’ve found Dr Rosner to be incredibly knowledgeable and incredibly easy with which to work. I’ve had 2 other neurosurgeons in my life and i find that I have the most faith in him. His bedside manner is among the best I’ve had. He’s a very pleasant man with a genuine sense of humor. I’ve needed 2 surgeries with him. I trust him, his opinions and abilities. He needed to refer me to another surgeon for an additional surgery, but will be there to assist. His concern and dedication not to “hand me off” was incredibly important to me...like having a family member in the OR with me. I feel very lucky that I found him and recommend him without an ounce of reservation.

Saran Rosner was recommended to me after an initial MRI report showed I had hydrocephalus (water in the brain). Rosner recommended immediate surgery with a shunt install as this can be very dangerous. Taking his advice we did the surgery next day and a few weeks later the headaches started returning. Rosner now recommended a craniotomy because he said my brain looked to be touching the skull and this was the next best step to remove some of the skull in the back of my head. I asked for a copy of the MRI report for a 2nd opinion by Dr Jafaar. I was given the non contrast copy, not being aware there is a difference. Jafaar was upset about that because after only 2 mins he believed there was a tumor yet he needed the contrast MRI report to be certain. I brought this idea forward to Rosner that this may be a tumor yet he shot it down immediately. Who am I to question a DR with such remarkable experience and who would want to believe they had a tumor? So I trusted him and went… forward with the craniotomy. It was after this surgery that Rosner decided to do a biopsy which indeed turned out positive for a tumor and now need intensive treatment for brain cancer. Rosner stated this is out of his field and recommended I go to either Sloan Kettering or Westchester Medical. Being comfortable with the team at Westchester Medical and for location convenience I eventually went ahead with this team and Dr Mohan preformed my 3rd brain surgery as a tumor removal. After my surgery, I had an issue that I would consistently vomit uncontrollably likely due to the area in the brain that was operated on. I had similar issues with my previous surgeries with Rosner and he had come up with a drug mix that really helped control the vomiting. My Dr’s asked me to call Rosner to look through my records and recommend to them that same mix. Rosner was so offended that I did not tell him that I was having a 3rd surgery (him being the one that sent me away) because he wanted to be the surgeon for that operation and he hung up in my face. Here I am 3 days after brain surgery suffering and I was in complete disbelief that he could be so heartless. After Rosner found this out, his office continuously tried to bill me $1300 out of nowhere. I was so offended by his tactics my family and I were committed to never paying him another cent. It wasn’t until his office called me to collect the money and I explained everything and stated how if anything we should be suing them, that they sincerely apologized for his actions, and I never heard from nor was billed again. Later I find out that he tried to bill the insurance company for a tumor removal which I was very happy to see that they denied him and didn’t pay him a dime because that surgery has already been claimed by Mohan. These actions have completely made me doubt even the first two surgeries he performed on me. I can’t say whether or not they were needed for sure, probably they were but it seems very clear to me that he wanted to take advantage of the surgeries before telling me my real diagnosis so that he can earn a good profit. Otherwise he was very careless and did two surgeries on me without a second look even after I mentioned another DR suggested it could be a tumor, so both scenarios are just terrible on his part. Aside from all of that there is no excuse to hanging up on a patient who is in dire need asking for help just because you are upset you didn’t get to do the surgery and bill the insurance $75k+. My family was so upset by his actions and everyone we spoke to about this said to sue this jerk but honestly what can we really do at this point and while going through such an intensive and long radiation and chemo treatment, who wants to go through even more agony? It’s now been a few years later and I am cancer free and very grateful for my life I have thanks to the special care from Dr Mohan, Dr Jubinski and their team. Rosner seems to be a great surgeon and I am not doubting that but everything else he stands for ethically and morally is to be put into serious question. He should be investigated and if he were, my assumption is that he would soon after have his license revoked. I feel it is my responsibility to bring this information forward in hopes that he is never able to do this to anyone else again.

I simply cannot say enough positive feedback regarding my experience with Dr Rosner and his staff. From office appointments, to surgery to follow up, my experience has been wonderful. Never have I been treated with such care and respect at a physician ‘s office. Who knew neurosurgery could be such a positive experience.

Great person and great Dr. He is not in a rush to get you into surgery and works well with the patient. I know 5 people who have had back surgery with him and all have been hugley successful. All are back to as close to 100% as possible. I would never see anothe rneurosurgeon.

Exceptional doctor Elite credentials,local availability,patient centered,caring,skilled surgeon. The BEST.

Dr. Rosner is a wonderful doctor. He is very knowledgable and quite thorough. It is not uncommon for Dr. Rosner to present your case in Grand Rounds to solicit the opinions of his colleagues. He is quite caring and invested in the well-being of his patients. He is very personable and engaging. I have complete confidence in him.
