Comprehensive Weight Loss Center at Emory Decatur Hospital Bariatric Center

Today was my first visit with Dr. Rashid. When I tell you she is AWESOME, this is an understatement! Dr. Rashid is extremely professional; she took her time and explained everything to me in terms I could I understand. She answered my questions over and over and didn’t mind repeating herself. Dr. Rashid was genuine and you can feel she cared. When I started my appointment I went in with the thought I would have the RNY and after Dr. Rashid answered my questions on the Gastric Sleeve, I am thinking more towards the Sleeve. What I really liked was, when I told Dr. Rashid she would be the one to make the ultimate decision as to which surgery was right for me she quickly let me know she would not be making the decision for me. “WE” together would be making the decision. She made me feel my opinion counted. This really meant a lot to me!
One last note, I would also like to provide some feedback on Dr. Rashid’s office staff. Everyone from the receptionist(s), to the Billing/Insurance Specialist (Jackie), and the nurses/RN has been top notch. I have gone to one other surgeon to start the WLS procedure and I found I couldn’t deal with the staff and decided the surgery was NOT for me. I feel the office staff is just as important as the surgeon. It seems we will be dealing with the staff more often than the actual surgeon. Again, you could feel the staff cared. Thanks for a wonderful experience!!!!

When it was recommended that I have bariatric surgery I immediately started researching and looking into surgeons in my area. During my search I came across the provider finder here on OH and decided to go to the seminar held by the Surgical Associates team. The seminar was extremely informative and both Dr. Steinberg & Dr. Rashid were very easy to talk to.

My first one on one appointment was great. The staff was on top of things and Dr. Rashid swept in with so much positive energy and openness that I knew she was the surgeon for me. Every step of the way through the approval process and surgery she and her staff where always available and always on top of things. I'm only 4 days post-op but I couldn't have dreamed up a better surgeon for me. She even called me on a Sunday evening a few days after I returned home from the hospital to see how I was doing.

I would recommend her or Dr. Steinberg to anyone I met.

If you do choose Dr. Rashid remember... It's okay to ask questions even if you think they are silly. She will take the time to answer each and every one of them. And believe me I had alot of questions.

I don't have anything negative to say about Dr. Rashid but I do have to say that don't write her off right away because she seems too pep. I did that when I first met her and I'm glad I decided to go with her because it really helped to have all her positive energy focused on me while I was in the hospital. Before I went in the OR I wasn't scared but when I woke up I thought "what the heck did I do", and she was right there.

I could go on but since this is on OH you can contact me if you have any questions about her or her staff.

He is the greatest, personable, caring, wise, all of the superlatives. I would use him again and advise anyone in the Atlanta area who is looking for an awesome bariatric surgeon to have a consultation with Dr. Scott Steinberg.

Dr. Steinberg is a seriously great surgeon. We laughed, we got our act together and we shluffed though the insurance approval process. His staff is amazing, and I recommend him to anyone looking to have Bariatric surgery done

Dr. Steinberg and his staff are AWESOME! I am going through all that is entitled to get the surgery. After meeting with him and Jackie I have to say that I cannot wait til my surgery is finally here and all of my paperwork is completed. I have had a couple surgeries prior to this one for other things and he is the only one that actually seemed like he genuinely cared about his patient. I would recommend them to everyone if I could.

Wow... I am so confident in not only my surgery but in my surgeon and his office. I am a RN and have met tons of MD's throughout my career. Dr. Steinberg and his staff made me feel like I was the only patient waiting on him. The office was full, every staff person was friendly. Jackie (insurance coordinator) was AWESOME!

I am in the early stages of going through the approval hoops however, I feel like the office supprts me and is there to help!

I had to wait a little before being called back. Even with that, I think it was to allow me time to read through my new patient paper work. I left with all my questions answered. (That I remembered to ask). I was able to schedule my nutrition appointment a little further out than I hoped (3 weeks). Again, not a bad thing since I have a few others to knock out of the way!!!


Highly satisfied!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome doctor! Since August of 2016 I have lost over 80 lbs. thus far and have 15lbs more to go to reach my end goal. I was obese but not morbidly so. After the birth of my son 15 years ago I just could not lose the weight with diet and exercise so I chose the Roux-en-y procedure. I am very pleased now and I have had very little side effects. My health is fantastic and it is nice to be noticed again by the opposite sex. My sweet husband is having a fit though! :0

Visits with Dr. Steinberg have been pleasant because he is very personable, knowledgeable and concerned. I also look forward to visits with him because he is so attractive.....at least to me. Yes, I have a huge crush on my doc. Guess I have a thing for smart, confident handsome Jewish men from New York. ;) He is my first time doc crush. It is ridiculous! I can't even form a decent sentence after he walks into my room. I just sweat and blab in unintelligible phrases. Next time I need a doctor I will pick an unattractive Southerner so I can at least dialogue about my health. (laugh!)

Steinberg is a complete gentleman and is very professional and well recommended by me. 

Amazing surgeon. He is very personable and never makes me feel rushed during an appointment. He is welcoming to anyone who has accompanied me to an appointment- my husband, my son, and my mom (all different appointments).
He saved my life. In a freak occurrence, a vein tore while I was in surgery. He kept me alive. I lost 3 liters of blood. He kept blood coming in while doing internal chest compressions until the vascular surgeon arrived.
This man is awesome!

I had surgery in August 2016. Dr. Rashid is a wonderful doctor. She is kind and takes the time to listen to her patients. I was extremely nervous and hit many roadblocks with my insurance company. Dr. Rashid made me feel at ease and has been nothing but supportive during my weight loss surgery. I would highly recommend her to other patients seeking weight loss surgery.
