Geary Community Hospital Bariatric Center

Dr. Bollman is the most incredible Dr. I could have ever asked for. Not only is he a very skilled surgeon, but he also has the most wonderful people skills. I would highly recommend Dr. Bollman and his staff to anyone who is looking in to having this surgery done.

Dr. Narsico is a very kind, caring and knowledgeble surgeon. I couldn't have asked for a bettery doctor! The office staff is wonderful. The hospital in Junction City is really one of a kind. I would not have believed there was a hospital out there where EVERYONE was so caring if I had not stayed there myself. I would recommed Junction City to anyone considering weight loss surgery.

Dr.Bollman was very easy going and not difficult to talk to. He explained things to me about the surgery and the risks associated with the surgery in terms that were easy to understand. I felt very comfortable around him and his staff. He also stressed the importance of an after care program and that people who did had much better results.

I thought that Dr. Bollman was very professional. My empression of Dr. Bollman just exceeded to fablous very caring and just incrediable. His staff great and very helpful. I would recommend and have recommend Dr. Bollman and his wonderfull staff to anyone. He is emphazies very much so on aftercare. That I am in charge of taking care of myself and my new stomach. Dr. Bollman's office has a very, very nice structured aftercare program. Dr. Bollman was very thorough with explaning the risks of this surgery and he even gave his statistics. I would give Dr. Bollman 200% overall he is the greatest Surgeon that I have ever met.

Dr. Bollman is an excellent surgeon! I am extremely happy with my choice of surgeon. He is very thorough and explains everything so you can understand. His staff is wonderful. Anytime I have a question they are always willing to help me. I would definately recommend Dr. Bollman and his staff.

My surgery was on January 10th and it went smoothly. My impression of Dr. Bollman hasnt changed a bit. He was so kind and caring to me while I was in the hospital. He visited me every day to see how I was doing and was extremely reassuring to both me and my mom about my progress. He strongly emphasized what my aftercare would need to be and answered all of my questions. I would definitly choose him if I had to ever have surgery again.

I can't say enough about Dr. Bollman and his nurse Eileen. He was so patient and answered my question. He was very through as was Eileen in answering my questions. He is very soft spoken but that only enhanced my sense that he truely cares for his patients.
He discussed everything that I would need to know although I had already done so much research that my questions were mostly answered before I went in. Eileen his nurse was just the best. She was so helpful and kind getting me set up with things. The program is through LivLite and along with Dr. Bollman have a strong aftercare program with support groups, regular follow up appointments and even his home phone number. At the end of the consult he turned to me and smiled then said "We will take good care of you." I have absolutely no doubts that that is true.

Wise, humble, caring.


Very compassionate. Home phone#,not a service

Great, Friendly, a phone call away.

Personable- Knowledgable- didn't talk "above" me- explained procedure in detail- answered my questions promptly.Though I was nervous at first meeting a physician not on staff where I am employed, he quickly put my fears to erst , the first support group meeting I went to in May 04.
Every staff person involved with the Liv- Lite program through Geary Community Hospital, has been of great help, relieving my fears and anxieties. His office nurse Eileen, very pleasant and likeable. She didn't have a condescending attitude like many nurses do when dealing with overweight people.
Aftercare is stressed during all support group meetings, and was discussed at length during my first office visit with Dr. Bollman & Eileen.Foolow-up appointments were emphasized as to the importance of keeping and maintaining these appts. to ensure correct weight loss & maintenance of lab values.
Surgical risks were explained with the first office visit, and post-op needs addressed and re-emphasized ( importance of exercise, diet, pouch rules, etc).
I would recommend Dr. Bollman, his staff, the staff of Liv- Lite & Geary Community Hospital highly.
One of the first questions I had for Dr. Bollman and his partner ( who happens to be his son-in-law) at a support group meeting, was what the success to death ratio had been, and of the over 400+ surgeries done at that time, there had only been one death, which came 3 weeks post-op and they felt that person had had a blood clot. Both Dr's are available, they don't take off at the same time, they assist each other with surgeries, and the infection rate is zero!!!
So all in all, they are a great combo, having both the surgical competency & the good bedside manner.

He was great. A very caring man. My impression has only grown and his office staff is wonderful, esp. his nurse, Eileen.
Very soft spoken and gentle man. I cant think of a single thing to dislike about him. Future pts should know that he is not at all judgemental, and genuinely cares about all of his pts. He attends all support group meetings and is ready and willing to answer all questions. He is so knowledgeable about what needs to be done and stresses the pouch rules and activities post-op. He sees his pts in the hosp. every day post-op while still in the hosp. and 2 wks after going home in his office then every 3 months for at least the first yr. He has support meetings once a month. He also gives you his home phone number and stresses that he REALLY wants you to call him with any problems. He very forthrightly gave all the risks of the surgery and answered any of my questions before the surgery. I would rate him overall as the greatest of the great. His surgical competence is the greatest, but his bedside manner is a little stiff, altho still caring. These are all my own personal views.

My first impression of Dr. Bollman was that he is a mature responsible doctor. This impression has lasted throughout our dr/patient time together! I honestly can't think of a thing I don't like about him. If you use Dr. Bollman you should know that he is a very thoughtful and caring Doctor. Aftercare is a big issue with this doctor. There is a structured after care program consisting of monthly group meetings. I would rate him as a 10! His surgical expertise and bedside manner are both excellent! I would recommend this surgeon to anyone thinking of having this surgery!
