Dr. Evanson seemed to be a very easy going and a well educated person.rnOver time Dr. Evanson in my opinion proved to be an excellent surgeon.rnDr. Evanson's office staff have been very eager to help. They are very informative.rnThe only downfall I felt was that from the time of my consultation to my surgery I didn't get to see Dr. Evanson until the morning of my surgery. That was 4 months. rnFuture patients should know that along with Dr. Evanson, his staff and the hospital were all fantastic in caring for me.rnIt was my observation that in the opinion of the Dr. and his staff the aftercare is very important.rnThe aftercare program is very structured.rnDr. Evanson was very open and honest about the risks of the surgery.rnI think Dr.Evanson was a great surgeon. I feel comfortable with him and he seems as if he genuinely wants to help his patients get healthy.rnIn my opinion his surgical competence along with his bedside manner were both great.
When I went to the information session, I thought Dr. Evanson was great. He seemed to be very open and talkative with me, and everone else, which is a great thing. I like people with personality, and Dr. Evanson definately has that little extra spark. The office staff are great. I know they will take good care of me at St Vincents.
I chose Dr. Evanson because his reputation is excellent and he has a lot of experience with the Lap Band. My initial impression is that he is energetic and passionate about bariatric surgery. He does general surgery as well. I have not yet had my surgery, but know other folks who he has worked with and have only heard good things.
My first impression of Dr. Evanson was WOW! He is a cutie. I still feel that way too. He is awesome.He is a very hyper person. He is available 24/7 to help with any issues that may arrise. He is so comfortable with what he does that it is second nature to him. It is not a big deal to him. He saves lives. I would rate him 100% caring, cute, kind, and understanding.
Dr Evanson is great. He's this skinny white man with curly long hair. Looks like he is from Cali and I told him so to his face but he is really from Minnesosota. CAme to see me as I was walking in the hall after surgery and asked\" how his girl was doing?\" I got all dreamy. He's a great surgeon and not bad to look at either. Let me go home as long as I was following instructions. Would recommend him to those that want a lap- my incisions are healing beautifully after just one week. He really likes people to go to the nutritionist and support groups and wants this to be a life time change for all his patients. I feel he listens patiently and with compassion.

My first impression of Dr Evanson is that he could be Chris Katan's (SNL guy) brother. I think he's cute for a Christ Katan look-alike. He was very informative and open to any questions I had during my one on one. I am happy with my choice of dr. He is young, but knows his stuff. Also, when his staff talks about him, you know that they enjoy working with him and know he does good work.
I love Dr. Evanson. He's cute and enthusiastic. He seems to get a lot of joy from what he is able to do for obese people. I felt I was well prepared for surgery, and I'm prepared for my new life. I received fantastic care in the hospital, and was pleased to know that several of the nurses had gone through bariatric surgery also. I give Dr. Evanson and St. Vincent's Bariatric Center of Excellence a double thumbs up!!!
Dr. Evanson is wonderful. He always has time for questions, and his nurse Karen returns calls usually the same day for questions or concerns. I have had no health problems until recently, and not sure if those are related to my RNY. However, Dr, Evanson is taking my problems very seriously and I feel confident in his ability to resolve my issues. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone considering this operation to change thier lives for the better.
