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.

When I first saw Dr. Scott Steinberg I was very confident I had made the right decision. I could tell he cares for his patients right away. Very kind.He is just that and more. A very intelligent man. I went to the class and boy did the whole staff blow me away. I had a million questions and they had a million and one answers. I was slapped with the wow factor time after time again. They really know their stuff. Very professional and polite. The staff is amazing. He really cares for u as a patient and not as a number. The aftercare program is just as you never left. I was addressed everything about the surgery and how it would affect my life and the loved ones around me.I rate DR. Scott Steinberg as an outstanding Dr. Please watch my weighloss journey on...rnrnyoutube:rn http://www.youtube.com/user/blakkandrnrnrnScott Steinberg, M.D.rn1045 Sycamorern2nd FloorrnDecatur, GA 30033rnPhone: (404) 501-7903rnFax: (404) 501-7981rn

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.

My first impression of Dr Steinberg was wow he's shorter than I expected...lol...and he's cute. All jokes aside he seemed very concerned about making sure that I new all of the facts good, bad, and ugly of having WLS. Very nice and personable.rnrnDr Steinberg's office staff is the best those ladies are on top of their game, they let you know what you need and response times are usually withing 24hrs. Four stars for them and their service ****.rnrnAftercare is a big factor with Dr.S, he strongly emphasis that this is a lifestyle change not a miracle cure, and it has to be maintained every single day with exercise, proper diet, daily vitamins, and support groups.rnrnOverall on a scale of 1 to 10 Dr Steinberg and his staff rates an 11!!
