Dr. Obeid is very friendly and genuinely cares about his patients. I was very comfortable with him and think of him highly.
I have just learned that my surgeon Dr. Obeid has died. I am very sad because he was a great man to have helped so many people change their lives to have only lost his. I am sure there are a great many people feeling the sadness of his passing. He was a HERO for many of us and will be greatly missed.
Dr. Obeid is a terrific doctor. He took the time to make me feel comfortable. My surgery went great. After the surgery, he really made my husband feel at ease. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have this procedure.
Dr.Obeid is a wonderful guy. Up front and Honest!! Very pleasent and easy to talk to and will to answer any questions.rnHis office staff is Great!! Everyone is pleasent and so wil to help and listen.rnWhat I really like about Dr. Obeid is that he listens, he tells you just the way things are, and if he feel that you are not right for a certain type of surgery he tells you why. He explains everything to you and lets you ask any questiong you want!!rnDr. Obeid stress aftercare a lot. Aftercare is very important and he is very up front about this! If you are not will to follow with the aftercaer progam and all the follow-up appointments then Dr. Obeid is not for you!!rnThere is a very structured aftercare program he wants you to follow and it is very important for you to stick with and ask questions any time you don't understand something.rnDr. Obeid goes over the Risk of surgery and whether he feel you are ready for this type of surgery. He is willing to answer anything you want to ask!! rnWhat I have seen of Dr. Obeid so far I would say there is no one better or no one else I would trust with my life to do my gastric by-pass!!
My first impression of doctor Obeid was that he is a very caring and knowledgeable man. Since I had already done a consult 3 yrs ago and they still had my records he didnt really spend much time with me and my hubby. I didnt really have any questions because I am very set in my mind that this is what I want and have been researching it for over 4 yrs.
I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Obeid! rnHe was great the first time I met him- we went over all the options since I wasn't sure and then he gave me information to look up t make an informed decision.rnWhen my gall bladder started acting up he and his staff did everything possible to expediate the process througbh insurance and got me a date 2 weeks earlier!rnHe explained everything carefully and I went into surgery relatively calm, which is not the norm.rnI would recommend him to anyone thinking about having this surgery! He was caring but completely honest about how much work I would have to do as well. He wants people to be successful so he is upfront and lets them know that this is not a quick cure it is a life style change.rnrnI would have not changed him for anything- I know he is the best out there for this procedure!
When I first met Dr Obeid He was right to the point which I like in a Doctor. After he explains everything, He give me time to ask questions.rnrnHis office staff were very helpful and nice.rnFuture patients should know that he is very careing Doctor.rnrnThey have a very good aftercare team You can call anytime to get answers to your questionsrnrnHe was very clear about the risksrnrnI would refer family and friends to Dr. Obeid
My first impression of Dr. Obeid, was that he had a great sense of humor. He seemed to really love what he does. He said people call him Dr. obese lol.....He talked to us in a group first, had talked several times that he is a believer in God, and also a worker for God. He said he has performed over 1,800 surgeries and not one death yet. That made me feel good. Then he talked with us one on one. He saw I was a widow with 4 children and cancer survivor, and he seemed very moved by all we have been through. He told me that he would treat me as I was in his own daughter in the oper. room.....and with me being the only parent my kids have he will be extra careful. That made feel sooo comfortable.
