My surgeon is Margaret Inman at St. Vincent's in Carmel, IN. I have done quite a bit of research and am very confident that I will be in good hands. She did talk when I went for the group consult and went into great detail about the actual surgery as well as the risks and after care. I was very impressed. My only complaint would be that I only met with her personally for about a minute or two and will not see her again until the morning of my surgery. I guess this is typical, but I think this is a huge deal and would like to have had a little more time to talk to her personally.I definitely feel like surgical competence is the more important than bedside manner, but of course, both would be great. I have a couple of friends who had her perform their RNY and said that she offers both! I do have peace of mind, knowing that she is absolutely top in her field. I will update more after my surgery.
Dr. Inman was very helpful and answered all my concerns and questions. Her staff is friendly and helpful. I expecially like Dr. Inman's concern for the welfare of her patients and how she is realisitc about what can be accomplished.rnrnYes...a structured before and after program.rnrnSurgery risks wer all addressed.rnrnOn a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the top, I would rate Dr. Margaret Inman as a 10. Surgical competence and bedside manner are equally great.rnrnAt the time of my surgery (June 2006) I believe Dr. Inman was the only doctor that was allowed to perform the DS proceedure due to insurance reasons.
She is very professional and direct. My impression did not change. Office staff is very helpful and informative. She could have been a little warmer. She is a very good and accompolished surgeon; I trust her and would recomend her to anyone. She emphasizes aftercare and luckily I have not had any complications. I have access to support groups and dieticians. There is a detailed after care program. She laid out the risks in great detail in her presentation. I would rate her \"A number one.\" Her surgical competence is her greatest strength.
Dr. Inman is very personable along with being so well educated yet able to explain with ease in the details of what you are in for before and after surgery. She encourages you to ask as many questions as possible and you never feel rushed. Dr. Inman's staff is also amazing, kind and caring. I haven't gotten my surgery date just yet but I know my support net is growing!
