Center For Weight Loss Surgery CHI Saint Joseph East Bariatric Center

I attended the seminar at St. Joe East. Dr. Nighbert and Dr. Steiner were both there. I am not sure which surgeon I will get to do my surgery, but I was very impressed with both of them. The office staff and program director (Karen) were all extremely nice. The surgeons stayed and answered questions, and were very knowledgable. So far, I am very happy with my choice of going to St. Joe East.<p>I chose Dr. Steiner to be my surgeon. He seems very capable and understanding.<p>Dr. Steiner was WONDERFUL. He was very attentive to my needs, and was not afraid to order other tests to determine my health and safety before and after surgery. He's a 10!!!

I attended a seminar with Dr.Nighbert and Dr. Steiner. I am not sure which one will be my surgeon. However, I was very impressed by both. They seemed to be very professional and understanding of dealing with bariatric sugery.

I scheduled my surgery date and the one that worked with my schedule was when Dr. Nighbert was out of town, so Dr. Steiner will be doing my surgery.

Upon first meeting Dr. Steiner he gave a very warm impression. He gave a feeling of compassion and kindness toward the patients he worked with.
Each time I talked with Dr. Steiner his attitude and actions remained the same. I adore him.
Dr. Steiners office staff was also very helpful and seemed to care about the patients and helping them in any way possible.
I honestly can say that I liked everything about DR. Steiner. I found no negative points to him at all. I am thankful to have found him.
I highly recommend any one in this area looking for a surgeon to visit him first.
Dr. Steiner has a life long support system for his patients so you are never without help and support.
I was fully informed of all the risk of the surgery and all the possible complications from the surgery.
I rate Dr. Steiner on the scale of 1-10 he was a 10 ++ . I can't say enough good things about him.
Dr. Steiner was very competant surgicaly and has a great personality and bedside manner.
I think you will be very pleased if you choose him.

<Font face="tahoma"><font size=3><p align="left">I had my first consult with Dr. Josh Steiner in Lexington, Kentucky yesterday and I really liked him. He was kind and compassionate to me and I found him to be very knowledgable concerning this surgery. I had given up on Dr. Geller and had really gotten uncomfortable with him not moving on my case. I am a revision and I got the feeling that since Dr. Geller is new that he just did not know how to proceed with me. So, finally I changed docs. I feel that Dr. Steiner's office staff is very efficient and helpful. They have already called today and gotten started on all my pre op testing. WOW! this was quick. The after care program at The Center for Weight Loss Surgery is great. They do require a lot of you but it is necessary if you are going to suceed at this surgery,. Dr. Steiner did address the risks associated with this surgery. Being a nurse, I do pay a lot of attention to the bedside manner. I hate grumpy doctors but Dr. Steiner has a great personality, smiles a lot, is really caring and i believe his competence is great also. He has lots of training for doing this surgery. Overall, I would rate him about 10 on a 1-10 scale. He is great!! The rest of the staff at the Center for wls if great also. Karen Hillenmyer, the P.A., and Director of the program is one of the most knowledgeable people in this field. And then there's Donna. What can I say? She is just the best office person to work with. She is also a nurse and is very helpful. Amanda, the dieticain(sp) is a wee bit of a girl who has never had a weight problem in her live but she really cares for us and is also very knowing about all our foods and etc.
