L. Steve Weinstein Bariatrics Bariatric Center
My first impression of Dr. Snow was that he is a true professional. I still feel that he was the best surgeon that I could have paid for but I do feel that his \"aftercare\" ideas are a little strange. He stresses not to eat if you are not hungry and that nobody ever died from not eating for a couple of days. I agree and disagree with this. I do think it is important to monitor our hunger levels but I don't think it's a good idea for us not to eat at all either. Having said that, I would still pick him to be my surgeon again. He knows the important stuff and the other can be left to the dietian. I rate him very high. Found out that he will be retiring in Dec. 08.
I was very impreesed the first time I meet Dr. Weinstein. at this moment 7/21/08, I am still empressed with my doctor. As for the office staff, they are wonderful. Everyone treats as a human. They are so polite an always smile. Before an after the surgery I was instructed on how I was to handle my care. This is a life long change an I had to be sure I wanted it. Yes, I would recommend Dr. Weinstein to anyone. I honestly did not have a bad experinc ewith anyone at the facility.
Dr. Lane is super nice. He makes sure that you ask plenty of questions and he covers everything in detail. My first impression of him was that he was younger than I thought he would be. After my first apppointment with him, I was confident that he was a well qualified surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking WLS. He saw me in the hospital and was very concerned that my pain was being controlled and that I was confortable. Overall, I give him a superb rating.
My surgeon is Dr. Weinstein here in Mobile. So far I like him ok. He reminds me of Dr. Oz. LOLrnrnI think and have heard he is an amazing surgeon, but I have to say, in my experience, he didn't have the best bedside manner. Just my humble opinion.....rnrnFirst dr appt after surgery went well. Dr. Weinstein was very diff than in the hospital and very supportive and gave me a lot of praise. It was a great visit! He was in a jovial mood and had been playing jokes on the nurses.
Dr. Weinstien seems really great. He is straight to the point, and has tremdeous knowlegde of WLS. I was impressed with him right off. His office moved things along very fast for my approval. I am waiting now to have my surgery on 12/28/07. I will update more after my surgery exeperience.rnrnWell its now 3months and some days after my surgery. I have had a lot of nauisa and vomiting, but Dr. Weinstien has been a true champ with his bedside manner. He and the nurses at his office really show a caring side to the patients. I could not have asked for a better surgeon than Dr. Weinstien!
Dr Snow is a fantisitc surgeron as is his partners. He took around 3 hrs to talk to a group of people and tell us about the RNY. I was so excited. I wanted mine done \"now\".rnThe office staff are very professional, careing and supportative. rnThe risks of the surgery were explained. I knew the risks, as I use to work in a hosptial.rnI would recommend anyone to use Dr. Snow as a surgeron.rnDr. Snow has a great bedside manner and a caring smile everytime I see him.
