Christopher Evanson Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

He is a cool guy. He doesn't beat around the bush much. He does a very good job and is as nice as could be, and straight forward.

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!

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.

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 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!
