Dekalb Medical Center Hospital
She was very knowledgeable. They staff was very inviting in person. Yes she addressed all the risk of the surgery Great bedside manner
Dr. Steinberg and his staff are the best. They are always pleasant and they make the entire process easy. They always have a smile in their voice, no matter how many times I call with the same annoying question. Dr. Steinberg is genuinely concerned about his patients and you are not just a number or insurance check, you are a person and he wants the WLS to work for you. He is concerned about your overall health. I am so glad that I went to Dr. Steinberg and I would recommend him to anyone who is thinking about WLS.
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.
Dr. Steinberg was very nice. He answered all the question that I had for him. I am very honored to have him as my surgeon and if anyone is looking for a bariatric dr. he sure will be a great one. However not to forget about his office staff only I have delt with Shaunna and Erica and they is so nice he couldn't of ask for anyone better.
My first impression of Dr. Steinberg was positive..he was positive and confident. As my surgery date approached and took place my impression of him was correct, he is a positive person and a capable surgeon. His staff is always professional and polite. I would say that the entire staff is comprised of good people who are passionate about what they do...if you have done your research and are confident that gastric bypass or banding is the solution for you...they are an excellent group to help you accomplish your goals. I honestly have nothing negative to say about Dr. Steinberg or his staff. The road is not easy but that part is YOURS...the surgeon and the office staff are tools.
