First impressions... I was immediately drawn to Dr Rashid's manner and easy speech. She seemed, even at a WLS seminar to truly care about a healthy patient as a life style. Additionally, she seemed understanding with questions and exceedingly patient as she explained the answers on a level everyone could understand.
I will be following up and hopefully be accepted as a patient if I chose to proceed with this procedure.
I transferred to Dekalb Surgical Weight Loss Center from another “weight loss facility”. When I first went I wanted Dr. Steinberg because his name is the main name spoken when you refer to Dekalb Surgical Weight Loss Center. However, Dr. Rashid had an open appointment before Dr. Steinberg and because I had already started the process I wanted the first available appointment. Can I say I am so glad that I am impatient!!!!! Dr. Rashid is the best. When she walked into the room during our first consultation she looked straight and my eyes and greeted me, followed by a firm “you’re in good hands, handshake” I felt comfortable and she listened and answered every question I had. The main reason I am writing this is so that people can start associating Dr. Rashid with Dekalb Surgical Weight Loss Center because so far she is a wonderful doctor who seems to really care about her patients. I am so glad that she will be walking this journey with me, God, and my two sidekicks (who are also patients of Dr. Rashid) I am so ready for this ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very impressed with my surgeon. She has been so understanding and personable through this. Seems to really care and gives me whatever time I need when I have questions. The staff is very helpful and I find all of them will do whatever you need, day or night, to help.
Dr. Rashid has a wonderful bedside manner. She performed my (and two of my coworkers) surgery. My family was impressed upon meeting her. She is supportive, helpful, and helpful. I honestly can't say anything negative about her. The office staff is also pretty attentive and hands on. The practice has a support group, and I've been a few times...very informative and well organized.
Although I have not met him yet I have met with Dr Rashib and she is very nice and informal. It took me over a year to make my mind that I wanted this. The staff is very supportive and fast at their responces. I have my date set for lapbanding 1.12.09. I am very excited to have a great team.
I ABSOLUTLY LOVE HER! SHE WAS VERY EASY TO TALK TO. SHE IS ACTUALLY CONSERNED ON HOW I FEEL AND MY WELL BEING. I DID NOT FEEL LIKE I WAS JUST ANOTHER CHECK IN THE BANK. SHE ACTUALLY CARES AND WANTS THE BEST OUTCOME FOR ME. I CAN'T SAY THERE IS ANYTHING THAT I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT HER. SHE STILL SEES ME AT MISLETONES OF MY JOUNERY TO LOSING WEIGHT. SHE IS THERE IF I HAVE ANY PROBLEMS POST SURGERY. SHE HAS A GREAT BEDSIDE MANNER. I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY LUCKIER TO HAVE HER AS MY WLS.
She was very knowledgeable. They staff was very inviting in person. Yes she addressed all the risk of the surgery Great bedside manner
At first I was hoping to get Dr. Duncan for my Lap Band surgery. But when I meant with Dr. Rashid, on 9/11/08, I really loved her bedside manner. Dr. Rashid is very competent in her field. She is very careing, warm, and she answered all my questions, as well as my husbands questions. Dr. Rashid is very stern on following the pre and post diet guidelines, after all this is a life style change. They have a support group available 3 times a month. There is also a complications class that you are required to attend. Remember this is just a tool to help you loose the weight, this is not a quick fix, you still have to do your part. The office staff is great, they do everything they can to make it a smooth process. I have bugged them hundreds of times, and yes! I got upset but the care and concern they give, you could not ask for any better. Lolita is the best! So far I have nothing negative to say about the office staff or team of Drs.. However I have never meant Dr. Hobson. I would advise if anyone is considering any type of Bariatric surgery PLEASE! PLEASE! do your research, and find out what is the right type of surgery is for you. Do not base it on someone else's experience. You decide! But make sure you have your doctors approvel.
