David Kam Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

I thought Dr. Kam was amazing! He is so down to earth and straight forward. He told you how it was and i feel 100% confortable going through this life changing surgery with him.

I have only met Dr Kam one time and he was great. I wasn't sure I was going to luck out and like the first surgeon I met. He was very forth right and answered all our questions. The staff they have in MI was very friendly and seemed to be well informed. As I haven't had my surgery yet I can only go now on what my first impression was and I feel comfortable in allowing him to go ahead. I had to go to MI since my ins. won't allow me to stay in OH. He informed me that there were other places in OH besides the Barix Clinic here I told him I had done my research on those places and the staff seemed to not like to work with an over weight patient. His staff has contacted me to let me know what I need as far as my ins. goes as well as how I am doing to prepare. rnrnrnI am now two weeks out from my surgery and wanted to let people know that Dr Kam is probably the best dr I have ever met. He was right there the whole time and made sure I had every question answered and was so knowledgeabole about the whole process that it would be impossible for me to not be at ease.

He was very professional and knowledgable. rnHis staff was also very friendly and warm and professional. rnI think anyone should consider Dr. Kam. He did a wonderful job. I barely even had gas pains from the laporoscopy, and had no complications with my Lap Gastric by-pass.rnHe has a very structured after care program. rnMost of the risks were discussed when filling out the papers. rnI would rate him very highly. rnBoth surgical competence and bedside manner are great.rnIf I had to say anything negative at all, it would probably be that he should have informed me more about the risks and long term effects of the surgery concerning possible deficiencies, etc. The rest of your life type possibilities.

Dr. Kam is very down to earth. He was very informative and listened well.

I really liked Dr. Kam from the start. I feel very comfortable in the clinic.rnrnMy surgery was the 22nd of November. Dr. Kam is simply a lovely man. He is warm, caring and compassionate. I can't think of enough good things to say. I am home from my surgery, and outside of the normal things that happen post op (bruising, swelling) I am in fine shape. I would recommend him, and the Barix facility to anyone thinking about this surgery.

Nice guy, fast talker. I had my surgery at Forest Health Medical Center in Ypsilanti, MI.rnThe staff was wonderful. Very friendly and supportive. The hospital was very clean and nicely decorated.

When I met Dr. Kam at The Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti, Michigan, I was very impressed at how easily he made us feel welcome to his hospital....rnrnHe absolutely made me want to have the surgery....He explained everything clearly & made sure all my questions were answered....rnrnThe staff are all wonderful & very caring....They all answer your questions in full detail and make sure you understand....rnrnDr. Kam is the sweetest Doctor you will ever meet....He is very intelligent & has a great sense of humour....rnrnDr. Kam is a caring, understanding, man....He will see that you are well looked after in every way....rnrnDr. Kam educates you in every aspect of your care for before, during and after your hospital stay....He really takes great strides to see that you understand your next steps in your new body.....rnrnAt The Barix Clinic, you will visit repeatedly over the next year and beyond to be sure you stay on track.....The support they give you is so good....rnrnDr. Kam walks you through the whole process of surgery....He makes sure you understand exactly what will happen....He makes it his job to inform you of every aspect of the surgery....rnHe tells you the risks as well as the benefits....rnHe is completely honest and upfront about any risk involved..... rnrnOn a scale of one to ten with ten being the highest standing.....I would rate Dr. Kam as a perfect ten.....He is one of the best surgeons performing this surgery....rnrnI think surgical competence far out ways bedside manner....Both are important in their own ways....Although I really like a surgeon who knows exactly what they are doing.....

I was very impressed with Dr. Kam from the first meeting. He provided me with all the information for my surgery and made sure all my questions were answered. His staff have always been extremely nice and professional when I have had to meet with them. My stay in the hospital went very well and the nurses were excellent. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Kam to anyone looking into RNY surgery.

What a wonderful and caring man! My family generally felt he cared about my surgery and was truly happy when he met with them after I was in recovery.rnrnHe is very intelligent and caring. Nice strong handshake which I find important. He definitely knows what he's doing and can answer any concerns I had.rnrnWhen I first met him, I was at a seminar at Barix. He is very competent and knew his specialty. He generally cares about each of his patients and provides them with the absolutely best.rnrnMy impression only grew more positive. He is an amazing person. He actually appears to genuinely enjoy his job.rnrnHis team at Barix... well, only 4 words, They Are The BEST!!! I have absolutely no complaints about my stay at the hospital. What an amazing team.rnrnThe after care progam is very thorough. I received a call from Barix the day I got home, they were just wondering if the trip home was ok and how was I doing. I didn't expect that call at all but it confirmed my thoughts on the team at Barix.rnrnDr. Kam expained the risks of the surgery, also about the post-op experiences I may go through. I felt very comfortable with him and knew if any problems would arise, I was in the best hands.rnrnI give Dr. Kam and his team a 10/10! There really was nothing more that could've been done to make my stay better. They are very attentive and caring. The entire staff is caring, helpful and understanding. They genuinely care about their patients and it definitely shows.rnrnThank you Dr. Kam and your Team. You have given me a second chance at life which I will never forget.

I have only met Dr. Kam once and that was on my surgical consult. He was very nice. I did not feel judged by him he treated me like a normal person and he made me feel like there was hope for me. The case is not the same with other family practice doctors I believe that once you get so obese they treat you like a lost cause and I did not feel like that with Dr. Kam. I am looking forward to meeting with him again on November 1st when I go for my pre op testing.
