Meridian Surgical Group Bariatric Center
Dr. Evanson is GREAT! He's very compassionate and friendly. My impression of him now two months after surgery is even better than the first time I met him. He's very straight forward, looks like a California dude. He's a cutie, really easy on the eyes. But more important then all of that he's professional and very competent. His office Staff is Great!rnHe demands you attend aftercare with a dietary visit after his office visit each time and in between visits. St. Vincent Hospital in Carmel, IN has a great aftercare program for patients. They have a support group for patients to attend once a month and dietary visits frequently with behavior modification.rnI would rate him a 9 out of 10, No one is perfect but he's close in my opinion.rnSurgical competence, you couldn't ask for better.
He looked like he had just smoked a fatty to tell the truth and road in on the latest wave but once he started his 'talk' I was impressed and depressed. Completely impressed with him as a surgeon and as a person - I'd love to hang out with him to be honest and depressed because he is all of two years older than me and a freaking surgeon making tons of money off of me because I can't control what goes in my mouth. CRAZY.rnrnHe is very honest is his depiction of the consequences of surgery - the good, the bad and the horrible. He truly wants you to succeed and he won't take any chances with your life or your success.

At the pre-op seminar, Dr. Evanson was late because of an emergency surgery. When he did come in, I thought the he looked like a surfer \"dude.\" Not a bad impression, though. When he presented his part of the seminar, he didn't speak like a doctor. He got right down on our level and explained everything in our terms, no medical jargon. Dr. Evanson does strongly recommend WLS groups for before and after surgery. I think surgical competence is better than having a good bedside manner, but Dr. Evanson has both going for him. His office staff is great. They helped throught all the insurance requests.
Dr. Evanson is the best. From the first meeting to my 2 yr. check up he has always been there for me. No, not just for me but for my husband as well. He explains, shakes your hands, is only a phone call away if you get into trouble, he is awesome. His nursing staff and office manager are top notch. You have questions about medical, billing or just need some information they return your call the same day. Colleen the office manger is also available via email. I look forward to going to the office, Colleen is always waiting with a hug and encourgement. I have had two set backs, I call even on Sunday Dr. Evanson calls back within minutes. His support dietican staff is the same as Colleen, available via email, quick return time on emails and calls. Plus St. Vincents of Carmel is the best hospital I have been in. Even though it takes me 3 hours to get there, it is well worth it!
