Geary Community Hospital Bariatric Center

I was very impressd with him. I went in well prepared with very few questions (I had asked them earlier from Patti and other I knew that had the surgery)He did not talk down to me and seemed to understand that I knew what I was doing and was prepared and educated on the subject. I also like the fact that even with Dr Bollman his co-doctor and him preform as eachothers assistant so you are actually getting two surgeons at once. He mentioned the good, bad and the ugly during my appointment. He discussed the fact that support grounp in available and recommended (Which I will attend both pre and post)I would recommend him to everyone @ this point....

My surgery was on 12/22/03 by Dr. Bollman...nicest Dr. I have ever dealt with. This Dr. does not try and sugar coat anything...the first meeting I had with him he explained everything in a very easy going and calm matter, he even drew out a diagram of what he would do to me...something I can keep forever. This Guy never seems hurried unlike most surgeons.... Very impressed with everything about him. He really knows what he is doing when it comes to weight loss surgery. I would recommend him to everyone..for that matter if I ever required any other surgery I would drive 4 1/2 hours to have Dr. Bollman do the surgery. Dr. Bollmans nurse is sooooo very interested in the person...she really cares about the well-being and does not FORGET to do follow-ups with you, I know for a fact because she called and checked on me many times after my surgery. She never seemed rushed or to busy to answer any questions I had for her. Another thing that really impressed me was the fact that she always came to the phone when I called and had a question. Most nurses call back a couple weeks later..after the problem has been resolved. My overall surgery was completed without any PROBLEMS..and very well done,thanks to the Dr. and staff in Junction City. Everyone that worked with me during my surgery process gets rated a perfect score..serious!!!!!

I have just submitted all my paperwork this past week. I have not actually met the surgeons in person yet, but have not heard one bad thing about him. Dr. Bollman's office staff is so friendly and have spoken with me practically everday for the past week. They answer all the questions that I have! Very nice...

January 16, 2004 - I met my surgeons on Tuesday, January 13. They are simply amazing. I went to my first support group meeting and there were so many people that were very supportive there. I have been contemplating in between using doctors in Topeka and Junction City. I have come to decide to use the docs in JC. I have filed all my paperwork and I am still waiting to hear from the insurance company on their decision. I called the Insurance Company today and they said they have not received the claim forms from JC, hopefully they will get them soon! I look forward in getting the process rolling. I have my psych evaluation on Friday, January 16, 2004.

Havent met him yet

My first impression of him was that he was very detailed about the hole thing. His office staff was all very helpful and kind. They talk to you in length how this is a tool to help you loose weight but its still up to you. They explained the dietary changes very well. I was very comforted on how they take care of you before surgery and there planned after care surgery. I live five hours away and I half to make three trips before surgery and three trips after surgery I really dont like that. He is not very talkitive fellow though he seems very competent in explaining everything. I went in for my preop and the more I meet him the more he gives me confidence in him.

I have an appt. with dr on 09-04-03

I haven't met either Dr Bollman or Dr Stevens. Toni seems very pleased with Charles Bollman, so I doubt there will be any problems.

I cannot say enough about the confidence I have in Dr. Bollman and his entire staff. The man is very thorough, very forthright, and wants you to completely understand the entire surgical process and your role after the surgery also. His nurse is fantastic, and the gals at Liv-Lite are great. I felt like I walked into a friends house, not a doctors office. They have a very structured after care program and make sure you have all their numbers so that you can call them 24/7 if you have a problem. They even give you their home numbers. So far, it's a 10 all the way. I know it says that a completely 100% review is suspect, but there is truly nothing I am unhappy about at this point. I will update again after surgery and I am just positive that nothing will change.

I first went to a support group meeting in Junction City, and saw Dr. Bollman there. I was immediately impressed by his sincerity and kindness. He appeared to be fairly quiet, but I could tell that he was very intelligent, and didn't feel that he needed to be in the "limelight". However, he spoke up when he felt he had a point to make. I've since met with him in his office...He is less quiet in a one-on-one situation. He is a caring, compassionate doctor, who cares about his work and his patients. It's clearly not "just a job" to him. His staff is absolutely wonderful!! Everyone is so nice and supportive. There was nothing that I didn't like about Dr. Bollman or his staff. Going to their office was a great experience. Dr. Bollman addressed the risks of surgery and the need for aftercare...I felt comfortable in asking questions, and he never made me feel rushed.

I met with Dr. Bollman and the great staff at LivLite in Junction City. They were absolutely wonderful. Patty and Jennifer provided so much information that I'm still going through it to be sure I've got it all saved to memory. Eileen, Dr. Bollman's nurse was so helpful and added more information to all I had already received. Dr. Bollman was so informative he answered questions before I could ask them. So far, working with Pam Weeks has been great! She never makes me feel as though I'm a bother, and I've had a ton of questions.
