Christopher Evanson Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

I was 2002 Rny bypass. He made my pouch size of small egg. I lost 138 lbs. 18 years later i can hold 1 cup of solid food. Watching carbs somewhat I stay near 168. I am 68 years old and doing great!!!

Dr. Evanson and his team and St. Vincent Carmel Hospital are fantastic. They truly understand their patients and families.

Dr. Christopher Evanson is so personable. I felt from my initial consultation my impression of Dr. E that very confident of his work but seemed to have marginal tolerance for those who are negative toward their treatment. Although, I felt he was correct, some of those in the initial consultation were actually distracting for those of us who really wanted to be there.
He has been very positive and extremely encouraging toward my "recovery" in life. He notices things, like when I got my first pair of cool jeans.
I really like his office staff. The girls at the desk are friendly, one even makes comments about my before pic because I showed my excitement to be getting the surgery.
He spent lots of time with my husband and friends before I was taken into surgery and made all feel comfortable.
He helped after the first month to adjust my diet according to my needs and that I was intelligent enough to be able to do so.
I love all the support programs that St V has to offer.
I feel that surgical competence and bedside manner are equally important. I WANT to do well and please my doctor because he has shown so much interest in me and my well being.
Since I am asked to report the negative as well, he thing I liked least was his newest hairstyle! LOL
THANK YOU DR E!!!

It has been my experience that during my process of trying to get things in order to proceed to have and be approved for the surgery it has been an uphill battle in dealing with the office staff. Apparently they have no record of me.

I have seen the psychiatrist, been to meetings and filled out the necessary paperwork and set through the seminar but they have no record of me.

The communication between Dr. Evanston's staff (one in particular) and the patient has broken completely down. At this point I have no idea where I stand. Dr. Evanston is a great surgeon that is why I chose him. Dr. Evanston this has nothing to do with you at all. Your a great man and surgeon please understand that. It is a person in your staff that has not contacted me after leaving several messages. Being very rude on the phone and thinking I should know everything on where I stand. I am ready for surgery and I am ready to be a suggests story for everyone I love.

I had my surgery april 4th 2004. Dr Evanson is an amazing person and saved my life. I would not be here had I not had this surgery and had he not done the amazing job he did. I have lost 300lbs and have a whole new life. THANK YOU TIMES A MILLION CHRISTOPHER you ARE my life saver even though you say it wasn't you. IT WAS.

I had gastric bypass from Dr. Evanson almost 5 years ago and I have been so blessed because of it. I am graduating from college on May 13th of this year. My life has been changed so much because of the weight loss I have had. I have lost 222 pounds. Having Dr. Evanson do my surgery was the best decision I have ever made. My life truly began August 14th, 2007. I thank God for the wonderful things I have been able to enjoy since loosing weight and having most of my medical conditions taken away. Thank you Dr. Evanson for doing what you do!!

Dr. Evanson is a great Dr. and surgeon. He is upbeat and very friendly. I only met him 2 times prior to surgery for about 10 minutes at the most each time. But I liked him. I didn't really have many health problems which kept my surgery pretty easy I think. I basically chose Dr. Evanson because one of my close friends used him as well as another aqaitence of mine had used him, so that was plenty of reassurance for me. The downfall to the whole process was I wish he was closer to where I lived so I did not have to drive 2.5 hours for appts. Overall, I am so far VERY satisfied!!! I am now 1 year post op and down 155 pounds!!!!! Thank you Dr. Evanson for helping me get my life back!!!

I have absolutely no complaints about Dr. Evanson or anyone in his staff. From the beginning of this process, all the way through surgery, everyone treated me with respect and never once made me feel embarrassed or ashamed for why I was there.

I went into the surgery feeling 100% informed and I left the hospital feeling the same way about my after care.

Still feel that Dr. Evanson saved my life and gave me a second chance! Thank you from the bottom of my heart

This amazing doctor gave me my life back as I never had before. He is the most inspring, motivating, kind, understanding doctor I have ever met. He always makes you feel like he has all the time in the world to help you and to listen to your questions. My surgery was in April of 2006 and I have kept off over 200 pounds! You do not need to look any farther than Dr Evanson, he is the answer to your weight loss dreams. His staff is very helpful with all the insurance papers and so kind and understanding. God bless him and all those he has helped. It also asks if there were any negative comments about my surgeon. I have none I would do it all over again and not change a thing.
