Margaret Inman Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

My first impression of Dr. Inman was that she was very sure of herself and knew what she was doing. Nothing took her by surprise.

I am a little anxious as I have not seen her since January of 2001, and they did not feel that it was necessary for me to see her again prior to my surgery.

My consultation with Dr. Inamn was 8/27/02(I think). She was very nice, straight to the point and very thorough. Her staff was very nice and helpful. Vicki who handles the surgery stuff in the office has been great. She has always been upfront and too the point but also pleasant. Dr. Inman has great reviews and I have no doubts about having her do my surgery!!

I was a little disappointed when I arrived for my consultation and found out it was with Dr. Inman's PA. The consultation lasted maybe 5 minutes then everyone listened to Dr. Inman speak about obesity and the different types of surgery. I felt Dr. Inman was very thorough in educating us and very knowledgable. I look forward in researching more about the surgery and consulting with Dr. Inman.

Dr. Inman is wonderful!!! Very dedicated to what she does.
Her office staff is very helpful Colleen, Karen and Holly.
When ever I have called the office with a concern who ever helps me has been caring and concerned.
When she visited in the hospital she was caring and compassionate.

Very impressed with Dr. Inman have my psyc evaluation on 9/23/2002.

Dr. Inman at first struck me as a very busy lady and kind of made me feel like I was just another patient.

Now I realize she really does care about her patients and she is a remarkable woman.

She has a wonderfull staff, especially Holly her assistant.

She is very concerned about all her post op patients. She stresses very much on the do's and don'ts.

Overall I would rate her a 9

Both bedside manner and surgical competence are awesome.

Informative group meeting, Never got one one one meeting, staffis very helpful. Good nutritionalpreop meeting. Dietician excercise program and support meetings are provided through St. Vincent hospital at no cost for life.

I was very impressed with Dr. Inman and still am. She and her office staff have been very helpful to me every time I have had to contact them. She is very thorough in her evaluation of your health. She requires specific pre-testing and post-testing. You are required to see her at
specific intervals throughout the first year and visit the dietitions on a regular basis as well.
Overall, Dr. Inman is a well qualified bariatric surgeon, general surgeon and is trained in trauma situations - she is very
kind and does have a great bedside manner.

She is very business like, but extremely knowledgable. I felt very comfortable with her doing my surgery. Her office staff is wonderful. Very helpful and knowledgable. She emphasizes aftercare very much. I was given detailed instructions on how to care for myself after this surgery. She was very up front with all of the risks of this surgery. I would rate her extremely high and would recommend her to anyone. Her surgical competence and bedside manner are both great.

I met with Dr. Inman in a group setting first. She was very personable and informative regarding genetics, environment and intake. She walked you through the steps of surgery and addressed all my fears before ever meeting one on one. Once the seminar was over she was quick to meet personally with each person. She does not spend a lot of time with you but if you ask questions she will stop and answer each one. I really liked her and it was obvious she knew what she was doing. For any that are looking to meet her be prepared for a long visit. I signed in at 1:30pm, the seminar began around 2pm and by 3pm we were ready to meet one on one. I left around 415pm. As you can see it is not a quick visit but it goes fast with a lot going on.

4/22/02 I thought I would update on Dr. Inman's office. Vicky is wonderful to deal with and very understanding. I spoke with her about some questions I had and she was very informative. Also, they have already sent in for approval in less than a weeks time. Personally I was not expecting such a quick turn around but was happy to hear that. She told me to wait 5 working days and begin calling the insurance company. Most likely they will say they do not have it and it will need to be faxed to a certain number and person. So in five days I will know at least the status of it in my insurance companies hands.

5/02 Well I have not yet made it to the insurance review yet. I got a call to have further testing and a consultation with Dr. Inman in July. Since I am having a revision additonal steps are in this process. I have to say that I have been working with Colleen and she has been very understanding and positive helping me. So far everyone has been great at Dr. Inman's office and at the Center.
