Clarification of Nutritionist Post

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Everyone,

I have to clarify that the nutritionist I had the negative experience

with *DID NOT WORK FOR MT. SINAI*. I went to see someone I used

during my pregnancies (3 children). I scheduled an appointment with

the Nutritionist Dr. Quinn recommended, Liz Goldenburg, whom I have

heard great things about. Perhaps the reaction I got from my regular

nutritionist is due to ignorance about the procedure, and why Dr.

Quinn suggested I use someone on staff at the hospital.

The staff at Mt. Sinai has been wonderful so far, so I am expecting

my appointment on Thursday to go well.

Thank you so much for the positive posts!

: Hi! Thanks for that clarification. I had my surgery with Dr.

Gagner (Dr. Quinn assisting! SHE WAS GREAT! I think you're in excellent

hands) in January. I saw Niccole, the previous nutritionist. I have yet to

see Liz and I need to make an appointment with her.... So, it's a relief to

know it wasn't her that you were referring to!

BTW, do you happen to have Liz's e-mail addy? Could you kindly e-mail it to

me?

Hopefully Dr. Quinn will be approved (she's now pending) for Oxford (my

insurance), so I can see her for my 12 month follow up (Dr. G no longer takes

any insurance). She has the most wonderful attitude, is intelligent and

highly capable, IMHO.

all the best,
