Qammar Rashid Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

This woman is amazing, I have never been under a better doctor's care. She called weekly to check up on me and gave me the encouragement and support needed from a friendly and authoritative stand point. She is very educated on her practice and is also very comforting.

Dr. Rashid is very caring person. She answered all my questions during the consultation visit and pre-op visit. She called me the moring of my surgery to let me know they were getting the OR ready. She visited me before surgery and afterwards. I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Rashid is a very concerned and caring doctor. She sat down with me and answered every question I had. She was very thorough and informative. She showed me were they are going to place my incisions. We discussed my weight goals. She took a lot of time explainig to me what I needed to do and how to ge better prepared for surgery. She stresses the importance of after care. I highly recommend her.

Staff- The best (Lolita Pompey)

i meet with DR.Rashid on 3-08-07 and she seemed to be very nice and caring and talked to me about the surgery and what to exspect. and that i should lose some wieght befor surgery. and said that i would do fine. as for the office staff they need to work on there skills and learn how to tell the truth about things. and stop giving people the run around about there dates and just tell the truth. but other than that some of the stalff is very nice and care about your welll being....

I met her for the first time last week and was comfortable and impressed.She was knowledgeable, compassionate, professional, and patient. She answered all my questions, laughed at my husbands jokes and definately put me at ease.

Doctor Rashid is the Best. I highly recommend her for the Lap band procedure and also for after care. She is an excellent Bariatric Doctor.

Dr. Rashid was an excellent surgeon. My first impression was a good one being that she did conduct the wellness seminar. The office staff was awesome. They were really helpful and supportive especially the coordinator Lolita Pompey. She was phenomenal!! They made sure I was well aware of what I was about to get into.

I initially had my consult with Dr. Hobson. A couple of days later I found out that my surgery would be done by Dr. Rashid. My first impression of both surgeons were very favorable. They both were very patient and informed as I had tons of questions. They both took time to answer all my questions and addressed my fears regarding surgery putting me more at ease. The office staff were ok. I was really impressed with Dr. Rashid's bedside manner - it was great. She came to talk with me prior to surgery and again once I had been moved to my room and yet again prior to my release the next day. I've heard stories of people not seeing their actual surgeon again once the surgery had been performed. The nursing staff were not exceptional but they did their jobs - I have no complaints.

I don't know a whole lot about her. I haven't met her yet. I'm really excited, but kind of nervous, I'll start updating after I meet her on July 23rd.rnrn--update--rnrnDr. Rashid was very informative and quite friendly. She went over pertinent information about the surgery and the specific, lifelong changes I would have to make post-op. She also asked me what my goals were. Then she asked me why I wanted the RNY as opposed to the Lap Band. I liked that she expected me to really think about my decision; she cared about whether or not I was properly educated about my options. She also showed me where my incisions would be at. She wasn't warm and fuzzy, but I don't have any major complaints. I do wish we could have talked a little longer, but that was more my fault than hers.
