David Diaz Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

Dr. Diaz is a very caring surgeon when it comes to his patients health. He is very one on one with you and when he is with you, his attention is you and only you. He shows alot of concern and care for you. He is straight forward with you from day one of your initial consultation and he will not hide anything from you. I rate him an 11 on a scale of 1-10. Thanks Dr. Diaz

Dr. Diaz has been wonderful throughout this process. When I went to my initial consultation, I had a nice, long talk with Dr. Diaz and he offered very good advice. He even had another 1 on 1 visit with my husband and myself to address any questions or concerns that we had. Very knowledgeable and great bedside manner. I highly recommend him!

I attended the group consultation on August 29, 2008 with Dr. Diaz. My left brain attended with me \"Tildred aka goodbye_cankles\" and it went terrific. My first impression of Dr. Diaz was that he was a kind and compassionate man. He was very thorough in obtaining my medical history and seemed genuinely concerned with my health. He requested that I see a cardiologist prior to scheduling surgery due to my health history. It made me feel good to know that he was going the extra mile to take every precaution necessary to make sure that my WLS story would be a success. I have dealt several times with the insurance approval lady and she is WONDERFUL! I feel safe in their care which is a big comfort to my loved ones.rn

My first impression of Dr. Diaz was that he was very down to earth and very kind. He seemed very approachable and sensitive to my concerns when I got to speak to him privately after the group consultation. He is the newest doctor out of this group, but I have complete confidence in his ability. His credentials are outstanding and I know he would not be at Carmel if he was not an excellent physician. He emphasized aftercare greatly and was very straight forward about what is required to both achieve and maintain long term success.

I believe this is my surgeon (guess I'll have to check with him). My surgeon said he had practised for years in FL and has been here in Indiana for a couple of years now. When I first met him he greeted me with a smile and a promise that he believed he could help me. This was the greatest thing he co foould have said because off all the surgeons and St Vincent Carmel (IN) Bariatric Surgery Hospital he was the only one who would do a RNY on a patient who was 65 or older. And I had was going to be 65 that July! So I feel that he's given me a gift of life! rnrnHis staff, both office and medical, are terrific. As a matter of fact the entire St Vincent Bariatric Hospital are so good that when you return you feel like they have missed you and are so happy to see your progress. I saw him 2 weeks after surgery for his initial check up; then about 2 months later at my request because of problems I had with keeping my food down; thought I might have a stricture. (I didn't; what did have was a problem with chewing meat and eating tooooo fast)rnrnWhile his bedside manner was very good, I appreciated his competence much more. I had a great surgury, stayed in the hospital 3 days, and went home with a Rx for pain which I never did take!rnrn

dr diaz seems to be a very nice person . explained things in terms i could understand, took the tim eto answer all my questions. he is in Indiana now at St V's.

Dr. Diaz, Was great... He was every informational. He helped me decice what sugery was right for me.

He was very nice and very honest. He let me know that he didn't think that lap band was right for me due to my sweet tooth. I liked that he came right out and told me that he thought I was the perfect candidate for RNY surger and that it would benefit my life. He was straight forward and I would recommend him to anyone.

First impression - not much time spent on consultation and not seen till surgery day 9 months later. Impression improved on discharge day and post op visit 1.
