Meridian Surgical Group Bariatric Center

First impression- she know's her stuff and is good about answering questions. I will let you know more after my surgery :)

Dr. Inman and her staff have been the most helpful and understanding through my both surgeries and everything in between. Dr Inman and staff jumped through every obstacle to get my revision, as I had a vomiting problem for over two years. I am very grateful for her and all the nurses who are still supportive and helpful anytime I need anything.

He's great! What else can I say? He is very personable, down to earth and honest. That is a great combination an very comforting during this time. He is very knowledgeable at what he does and made me feel totally comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone. If there is anything negative to say, I guess that would be the attention to issues after surgery. Upon calling the office, I was told to follow-up with my primary care for the issues I was experiencing. I felt the issues were related to the surgery and it just made sense to me that the surgeon would be interested in the problems of his surgical patient - not the case. I have a great family practice physician also so I do ultimately feel that I received the care I needed.

WHEN DR. EVANSON WALKED THROUGH THE DOORS OF THE INFORMATIONAL PART OF THE CONSULT, I WAS SUPRISED. HIS PIC ON THE CENTERS SITE WAS ALOT DIFFERENT THAN WHO WAS BEFORE ME. HE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING! I WAS VERY INFORMED. IN OUR ONE ON ONE CONSULT, HE UNDERSTOOD MY HEALTH ISSUES, AND I FELT HE HAD A REAL DESIRE TO HELP ME. I CAN'T WAIT TO START THE OTHER PART OF THIS JURNEY WITH HIM.

<p align=\"center\">I chose Dr. Inman to be my surgeon simply because she is the only Medicare approved DS surgeon in Indiana. My initial consultation was on December 4th, 2006, and really liked what I heard. Both Dr. Inman and her staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to answer any questions. rnrn<div align=\"center\"><img alt src=\"http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d167/AnnoyingLizard/Graphics/Animation1-1.gif\">rnrn<div align=\"center\"><img alt src=\"http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d167/AnnoyingLizard/Liz2.jpg\" width=\"170\" height=\"163\">rnrn<div align=\"center\"><img alt src=\"http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d167/AnnoyingLizard/Graphics/Animation1-2.gif\">rnrn<div align=\"center\"><img alt src=\"http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/ohprofiles/momdad-1.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"166\">rn rn<div align=\"center\">Mom & Dadrn rn<div align=\"center\"><img alt src=\"http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d167/AnnoyingLizard/Graphics/Animation2.gif\">rn<p align=\"center\"><b>Co-Morbids </b>rn<strike>Diabetes</strike> * <strike>Hypertension</strike> * Sleep Apnea</span>rnFibromyalgia * Hyperlipidemia * <strike>PCOS</strike>rnArthritis * Degenerative Disc DiseasernNeuropathy * Bilateral Chondromalacia

My first impression of Dr. Evanson was that he seemed to be very knowledgable about the surgeries and he has a great sense of humor. His staff are all very nice and know what they need from you so that you can hopefully be approved the first time with no denials. They were very informative. Dr Evanson is also very up front and tells you what to expect and what he recommends for after your surgery. He was also the guest speaker at my second support group and answered a lot of good questions for those people who are getting ready to have this done or who have had it done.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Evanson. He is the best, most knowledgable doctor in the business. The thing I like most about him is his honesty, he doesn't pull any punches and tells it like it is, and I like that in a doctor. He is very caring and efficient and made my surgery on November 20 a complete success. I have already lost 65 lbs. and his support and mannerism have contributed greatly to my new \"self\". If you are thinking of having this surgery, choose Dr. Evanson, you will never regret it!

I believe this is my surgeon (guess I'll have to check with him). My surgeon said he had practised for years in FL and has been here in Indiana for a couple of years now. When I first met him he greeted me with a smile and a promise that he believed he could help me. This was the greatest thing he co foould have said because off all the surgeons and St Vincent Carmel (IN) Bariatric Surgery Hospital he was the only one who would do a RNY on a patient who was 65 or older. And I had was going to be 65 that July! So I feel that he's given me a gift of life! rnrnHis staff, both office and medical, are terrific. As a matter of fact the entire St Vincent Bariatric Hospital are so good that when you return you feel like they have missed you and are so happy to see your progress. I saw him 2 weeks after surgery for his initial check up; then about 2 months later at my request because of problems I had with keeping my food down; thought I might have a stricture. (I didn't; what did have was a problem with chewing meat and eating tooooo fast)rnrnWhile his bedside manner was very good, I appreciated his competence much more. I had a great surgury, stayed in the hospital 3 days, and went home with a Rx for pain which I never did take!rnrn

I never took the time to say anything about Dr. Evanson and I should of-especially since I was one of his first Band patients. He is an exceptional surgeon. You will not find a better surgeon in Indiana. Few people know that he is not only a Bariatric Surgeon, but he is also a Trauma surgeon. He loves his patients and he is good at his job. There are a couple of surgeons in this field that will fool you into thinking that they care about you, but trust me, it's all about the money. They will get you to their seminars and promise you the world, but after it is all said and done, your just a number. Dr. Evanson is about the patients. Once you get to know him, you will find he is dedicated to his work, which should let you know right there that he is dedicated to you and helping you reach your goal. I have lost 125 pounds in 4 years and I have kept it off thanks to a great surgeon and my willingness to finally want a new life. Thanks Dr. Evanson, you're the best!

dr diaz seems to be a very nice person . explained things in terms i could understand, took the tim eto answer all my questions. he is in Indiana now at St V's.
