DR. ROBERT FELDMAN graduated from Brooklyn College and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He did his internship at the Medical College of Virginia. After completing a residency in surgery at Boston City Hospital, he did a residency and research fellowship in urology at Yale University School of Medicine.
Dr. Feldman is a partner in Urology Specialists, where he practices general urology and is particularly interested in treating male sexual dysfunction and kidney stones. He notes that during the past 20 years, the epidemiology of kidney stone patients has changed: There are now almost as many female patients as there are males, and many patients are younger. He attributes the changes to obesity and “terrible diets.” He adds, “Treatments for kidney stones have improved, but not prevention.”
As research director of the Connecticut Clinical Research Center, which is affiliated with Urology Specialists, Dr. Feldman is involved in research and testing of pre-FDA-approved drugs and devices for urological diseases. The staff is fully trained in the nuances of research and is involved in a trial using a painless shock-wave therapy to treat erectile dysfunction; this device is applied superficially and has been showing effectiveness in trials in other countries. Other devices he has researched are being used to treat urinary incontinence and overgrown prostates. “The horizon is full of drugs for prostate cancer,” he says, and the new drugs, he notes, do not have some of the traditional side effects associated with treatment of the disease. He has also been involved in researching the use of Botox® and other medications for overactive bladders, new drugs for the treatment of bladder cancer and an oral form of testosterone replacement. “Low testosterone is fairly common in the U.S.,” he says, “and only recently easily diagnosed.” He adds, “Some of the drugs that are currently approved for treatment of urologic problems were previously tested through our office. These drugs are game changers.”

I'm glad to see no. 7 is Dr Cohen. In my opinion he's no 1 but I have no way of judging the top 6. He operated on me in 2001 because I was high risk of getting colon cancer it was felt. I'm still here 11 years later doc! I'm fine w/respect to the surgery but do have an issue with a lumbar bone out of place and am dealing w/that now. Things are much better since I had the two Epidural shots. I get the third tommorow. You go Dr. Cohen!

Dr. Gary Price has gone above and beyond his call of duty . I have had several procedures done by him and wouldn't think of going to anyone else. He has done a complete face lift on me. Several laser treatments and a couple of touch up mini lifts. I'm considering having liposuction by him. If anyone out there is considering cosmetic work done you should definitely have a consultation with Gary Price.
A grateful and satisfied patient

Dr Gerstenhaber is the BEST Pulmonary
Doctor in the New Haven area. He is extremely smart and knows more than his specialty.
He is kind and compassionate and has a wonderful way of appropriately infusing humor into what can be
a tense situation...
I commend him for his tremendous work ethic and feel so grateful that he cared for each of my parents and now myself.
I can only say thank you for always being so available to us.

Dr. Neil Floch and the staff of Fairfield County Bariatrics have afforded me a second chance for a more active and healthier life. In June of 2011 at 68 yrs old Dr. Neil performed RNY Gastric Bypass at Norwalk Hospital and as of 10 mos post op I have lost 102 lbs and gain a second chance to enjoy life more fully. I left the hospital completely offm of the three type 2 diabetes meds I had been on for 12+ years. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Floch and Fairfield County Bariatrics and fully endorse the excellent level of care that I experienced both pre and post op and would urge anyone considering wls to them.
