Virginia Hospital Center Physician Group - Surgical Specialists Bariatric Center

I just LOVE Dr Salameh. Great personality. Great bedside manners. Very thorough, He does not rush you and takes a real interest in your overall health. I am very excited in my decision to go with him and I can't wait for my surgery (gastric bypass).

I am extremely happy with my decision to go with dr Salameh. I had a lap gastric bypass and everything went great. The hospital was great and everybody treated me so well. All the rooms were private so I didn't have to deal with a sick roommate! Dr salameh and his staff were just incredible thru the entire process. I can't think of anything negative to say. Thanks for giving me my life back...

I just had my VSG surgery on July 15, 2010 and I wanted to let everyone know how wonderful my surgeon was and how his great bedside manner, surgical skills and willingness to answer all my questions honestly helped make this a good experience. My first impression of Dr. Salameh and his staff was very positive because they were very nice and were helpful in every possible way. Over time, I gained more and more respect and admiration for them, as they took care of contacting my insurance company and it was easy to find an convenient appointment and surgery date. His aftercare was excellent as well and I feel that I am in good hands with him. I am very lucky to have Dr. Salameh preform my surgery and his partner is also a great doctor and saw me in the hospital post-op. The hospital Virginia Medical Center was once of the best hospitals that I have ever been in and is ranked as the best hospital in Virginia (I believe). I now know why. My surgeon was very detailed about risks and complications that could come out of this surgery and was very informative. He is a Great surgeon with excellent surgical competence and a wonderful bedside manner. He really cares about his patients. The only issue I had with my VSG experience was one of the Anesthesia team members because she came off as being a bit indifferent and was sticking me like crazy to find a vein to put the IV in for Surgery. She ended up putting it in the top of my pinkie. OUCH>>>

My first impression of Dr. Salameh was that he is VERY professional, very nice, easy to talk to & very handsome :) My impression of him didn't change, only got better with my surgery. His office staff is GREAT!! The nurse Michelle is so nice & very knowledgable. She works very hard to get your surgery set up & approved. The receptionists are also very nice & friendly. Dr. Salameh has a GREAT bedside manner. Also, my surgery went VERY WELL!! He did a great job!! He has a structured aftercare program & the office even has support group meetings. All the risks of the surgery were addressed thoroughly & comopletely. I would rate Dr. Salameh with the highest rating possible. He is a great guy & a great surgeon!!! Both his surgical competence & bedside manner are excellent. I would recommend Dr. Salameh to anyone thinking of having weight loss surgery. This is my personal experience w/ Dr. Salameh & his office. I truly & honestly don't have anything negative to say about. I feel very lucky & blessed that I was referred to Dr. Salameh & that I had such a smooth & successful surgery.

Dr. Salameh is a wonderful doctor and surgeon. From the first time we met with him, I felt secure and knew I had found the right doctor for me. His office staff are wonderful. I had a bit of problem with my insurance and his nurse/office manager took care of everything. I would rate him exceptional. We meet with him every couple months and each time he seems to care how I am doing, how I feel, if I have any questions. He takes as much time as necessary to answer my questions and ensure I am on the right track in my weightloss path. He emphasizes eating right and exercising; you can't do one without the other. I would recommend him to anyone.

I met with Dr Salameh last week and started the evaluation process to have my sleeve gastrectomy. I had attended their seminar which was extremely helpful. I was very impressed with the surgeon and he was very knowlegeable and personable. He spent a lot of time explaining again the options and answering all my questions. I recommend him highly.

I loved Dr Salameh and his office staff. Michelle, the coordinator, is awesome and so helpful, so is Monica. I am very excited about starting my journey. I had my first consult and was very impressed with my surgeon. he reaaly took the time to go over everything and was very patient answering all my questions. I rate eevryone in the office a 10.

I had researched surgeons in northern VA and I am very pleased with my choice. Dr Salameh is very caring, friendly and thorough. He is a very experienced surgeon and he personally saw me and adjusted my band on all my appointmnts. His coordinator michelle is great and always returns my calls immediately.

It is impossible that I could have picked a better surgeon. Dr Salameh and his office staff are just awesome. Very thorough and thoughtful, great bed side manners and outstanding competence... Everything from the first visit, to the evaluation process, to the insurance approval was so easy and straightforward. They communicate with you great. The hospital is definitely the nicest and most comfortable in the area with all private rooms. I want to find something negative to say but I can't find any! I am having a great experience. Dr Salameh gets an A++.

When I met Dr. Salameh you could tell right off that he was a very carring person. He explained the surgery & everything so well, that there really wasn't many questions left to ask him. <BR>rnI think that he would have stayed in the room with me as long as needed, just to explain anything to me. He is not a rush in rush out doctor. <BR>rnThis Doctor would get a complete & full 10 rating from me. In everything so far. I'm not saying that he is perfect by no means. But he sure makes you feel comfortable & takes away all the unpleasent feelings that you may have.rnrnrn
