Steve Weinstein Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS, FASMBS
Dr. Weinstein was absolutely down-to-earth, he made me feel so comfortable.....like I had made the right choice. His office staff was great, they never seemed to mind answering all of my questions. The next day, I called back to ask one of the questions, that I know they had answered the day before, but they very graciously answered it again and assured me to call if I had any more questions. Many people that I have talked to in the Mobile area, have told me that if you are considering Gastric Bypass that Dr. Weinstein is the best!! His group also has a structured program called \"Begin\" that you must complete, once you have been approved, before you have your surgery scheduled. Dr. Weinstein also seems to have a very pleasant bedside manner and that is always a plus in my book.
Very professional, likable and informed.
No, continue to be very comfortable. They were very cordial and helpful.
I have always been treated with respect and care.
He always pushed for time.
Talk to him and ask questions. He's great about anwsering all your concerns.
Has scheduled many appointments and expects you to follow through.
Suggests you join a Support Group.
Gave all information good and bad.
He's a 10 all the way.
His bedside is good but the surgical is the greatest. That is the reason I chose him!
At first, I was really nervous, But he and his staff were great!! He was very informative and made sure that I completely understood what he was saying about what was going to take place and what the risks are, ect. He was very straight forward(I enjoyed that). Everyone in his office made me feel very comfortable and helped me in every way that they could. My husband was with my at my appointment and Dr. Weinstein gave him the same respect.(Some doc's will almost ignore the family member with you, but he made a point to speak to my husband and make sure that he understood too.)So far I am completely impressed and WILL be telling friends about him!!
My first impressions are positive. Since I have not actually had my surgery yet, I cannot give a great deal of information. Dr. Weinstein's staff has been very helpful in all dealings with them. They even went to bat for me with the insurance company when I was initally denied coverage for surgery. They have a very detailed procedure for educating their patients about surgery and aftercare. I will have to post more after surgery.
Since my first meeting with Dr. Weinstein, I have been very impressed with him. He takes lots of time explaining the procedure and what the patient should expect. He is truly interested in improving people's lives.
His staff is also very nice. I had to reschedule an appointment because my daughter got hurt. They understood and worked me in and didn't make me wait until the "next available".
My first impression of Dr. Weinstein was he was very informative and to the point. I knew from working in a doctors office that had referred many patients to him that his reputation was the best in the area in my opinion. The staff was kind and helpful.Always returned my calls.This practice has a very good aftercare program.
