My name is Toni Edelstein. My physician is Dr, Robert Uzzo. When I first met him, I was very nervous and frightened. Dr. Uzzo very patiently explained the type of surgery he would do, and what would be expected. He went into great detail, and periodically stopped to ask if we had any questions. When I woke up from my surgery late in the day, Dr. Uzzo was waiting for me, so he could share the results of the surgery with me. This was after being in surgery from early morning and visiting other patients. He is an extremely caring person, and has a terrific bedside manner - not only in the hospital but also in his office. His phone nurses, the office nurses and the office staff also are very patient and caring. It is a pleasure going to his office for follow-up care. I would highly recommend Dr. Uzzo to anyone. Having dealt with many physicians over the years, Dr. Uzzo is definitely #1 in my book!
