Dr. Evanson was great! He seemed like he knew exactly what he was doing and he really cared about me.rnrnrnHe has been so nice and so complimentary at my follow up visits. He really made me feel good about my accomplishments.rn

a dr david diaz is new to st vincent bariatric center of excellence in carmel indianarni thought he was very positive and upbeat i liked very much. my surgery is set for 10/16. am very excited and a little scared. i cant say i did not like anything about him. i feel confident in at this point and the pre op testing and education is extensive.

She was fabulous. I would recommend her to everyone.

My first impression of Margaret Inman, was knowledgable, professional, and very to the point. She didn't sugar coat anything. If you were there and you didn't plan on doing every step she advised you to do, you shouldn't bother her or waste her time. She's serious about saving lives and doesn't need to waste her energy, skills, or resources on people that aren't committed! This impression continued throughout the consultation and the brief one on one time my husband and I spent with her. She was friendly and sincere, but she knew her job and that is to make sure we know ours as patient and support team members. (my husband and family) rnrnThe staff was friendly and fast. The front desk person was a bit cool, but you only have to deal with her for a small bit of time. Maybe she was having a bad day. *shrugs*rnrnI can't think of anything I liked least about Inman. . .liked best. . .candor. . .Don't sugar coat the risks, just lay them out there and let's deal with them. That was great and set my mind at ease. rnrnShe really stresses how they are there for you after surgery. But she also tells you. . .It is up to you to make that effort. rnrnOverall. . .a scale of 1-10 - 10 being the best. . .Inman's first impression 10 + . . . rnrnRight now for Dr. Inman. . .I have nothing negative. . .only the person at the desk was a bit aloof. . . My opinion my change as I meet with her more, but right now. . .she's getting an A- with me. . and the minus is because of the office girl.

She is very sweet! She even agreed to keep my surgery date of 8/22/06 that was originally set for my LAP RNY with her partner Dr. Evanson.

Dr. Inman...highly recommend her..she did a great job...no complications.

'Dr. Inman is very straight forward. She's sensitive and understanding. Her office staff is great and her physician's assistant is wonderful. I've only met her once

I have completed my consult with Dr. Evanson and was quite impressed with his presentation. I have attended a presentation on baratric surgery in Florida and found Dr. Evanson to be more informed and also caring with the large person. He doesn't make them feel that they are just lazy about watching what they eat. I have had my phsyc evaluation and all my ducks are in a row for the surgery. All that I am waiting for is the insurance letter of approval. Just waiting has created a lot of stress for me.

Had consult today, 1st impression... Dr. Evanson seemed very knowledgeable and professional. Excellent presentation which answered most questions of both myself and husband. Throughly covered procedure options and aftercare. Discussed pros and cons as well as risks of each procedure and WLS. On a scale of 1-10; 1st impression is a strong 9. Why not a 10? I would have like for Dr. Evanson to ask me a question or two in the one on one consultation. I guess he assumed everything about me was in the packet I had completed prior to the consult.
Office staff seemed quite personable.
I think surgical competence and beside manner go hand in hand. Part of the confidence level of the patient is dependent on bedside manner. Confidence in the surgeon aids in speedy recovery.

OMG Dr Evanson is like soooo awsome. If you are thinking of having surgery you have got to talk to this man he is the sweetest. Very kind hearted and caring. Although he is soooo dang skinny he still seems to understand and be compasionate to over weight people. ALL I can say is talk to him you will see for yourself. There is not enough words to describe this man. Just trust me GO SEE HIM. Oh and another thing i forgot to mention. For many years my legs have been very very large always swollen and my family Dr. really never said much about it just oh your legs are swollen well no duh. The day I went in for surgery was the very first time Dr Evanson got a look at my legs and as soon as he seen them he was like MARY you have lymphodema. HOW EVER THAT IS SPELLED LOL. Anyway I was like what and so He explained to me what it was and man am I glad he figured that out. But i was really impressed because just one look and he knew what was wrong with my legs. My calves messured at 35 inches around the day after my surgery. Now they measure at about 19 to 20 inches. So thanks bunches Doc.
