Dr. Inman and her staff have been the most helpful and understanding through my both surgeries and everything in between. Dr Inman and staff jumped through every obstacle to get my revision, as I had a vomiting problem for over two years. I am very grateful for her and all the nurses who are still supportive and helpful anytime I need anything.
<p align=\"center\">I chose Dr. Inman to be my surgeon simply because she is the only Medicare approved DS surgeon in Indiana. My initial consultation was on December 4th, 2006, and really liked what I heard. Both Dr. Inman and her staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to answer any questions. rnrn<div align=\"center\"><img alt src=\"http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d167/AnnoyingLizard/Graphics/Animation1-1.gif\">rnrn<div align=\"center\"><img alt src=\"http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d167/AnnoyingLizard/Liz2.jpg\" width=\"170\" height=\"163\">rnrn<div align=\"center\"><img alt src=\"http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d167/AnnoyingLizard/Graphics/Animation1-2.gif\">rnrn<div align=\"center\"><img alt src=\"http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/ohprofiles/momdad-1.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"166\">rn rn<div align=\"center\">Mom & Dadrn rn<div align=\"center\"><img alt src=\"http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d167/AnnoyingLizard/Graphics/Animation2.gif\">rn<p align=\"center\"><b>Co-Morbids </b>rn<strike>Diabetes</strike> * <strike>Hypertension</strike> * Sleep Apnea</span>rnFibromyalgia * Hyperlipidemia * <strike>PCOS</strike>rnArthritis * Degenerative Disc DiseasernNeuropathy * Bilateral Chondromalacia
Dr Inman was so confidnet and professional I just knew the min I saw her that she was the one. I have searched high and low to find a surgeon and I just had this peace about myself when I met her. She had no doubt about it that she could do my surgery. The office staff are always so eager to help out with any questions or concerns and always so polite and sweet. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Inman for all high risk patients!!!
My first impression of Dr. Inman is that she was very knowledgeable and to-the-point. She's been doing bariatric surgery for many years, and I appreciated the format of and the detail provided in the group consult. After my one-on-one consult, all of my questions had been answered adequately. Dr. Inman's entire team at Meridian Surgical Group including her P.A., scheduler, insurance guru, etc. have proven to be helpful & friendly, as well. My only complaint is that the office staff I met with for my initial group consult at St. Vincents bariatric center (who do not work directly for Dr. Inman) left room to be desired. They were much more familiar with the gastric bypass than the DS surgery, and were not always the most friendly. Overall, I feel confident having my DS surgery with Dr. Inman at St. Vincents hospital. I'll provide more details after pre-op testing & surgery. rnrnPost-op opinions: I have the utmost respect for Dr. Inman and am so glad I chose her as my surgeon! My surgery was complication free & my hospital stay comfortable, and all my post-op appointments with her have been excellent. She is not a woman of many words, but is truly a top-notch surgeon and I would highly recommend her to those closest to me. The only negative is that I continue to have issues with various people at St. Vincent's bariatric center (dietitians, general office staff, etc) BUT they do not work directly for Dr. Inman and are worth putting up with in order to get Dr. Inman's excellent surgical skills.
She is very down to earth. She will tell you how it is and what to expect.rnrnWhat I liked about her is she gives you confidence and has complete confidence in her office staff. What I liked most was her hair. She has some crazy fly-away hair at times and it suits her. She's just overall very nice.rnrnShe told me that there are risks, but told me they will test me and know everything that we're facing before we do it.rnrnrnThe only negative thing I can say is that the office doesn't return calls very promptly. They need help. They are shorthanded. I understand this though, because there are so many people out here that are wanting and needed the help. I know everyone wants to be first. That was me too. :)
My first impression of Dr. Inman was very good. She presents herself as she is; extrememly knowledgeable and competent. She and I have the same sense of humour, so I found our conversations informative, straightforward and...well, actually, fun. rnrnI have spoken with Vicky and Karen from her office. What I appreciate most about both ladies is not only their knowledge and professionalism, but the fact that they were both extremely encouraging. I truly feel that I am working with them to solve a problem that I have....and not like I am the problem.rnrnIf there is any negative thing thus far concerning Dr. Inman, it is that I wonder when she has time to be a wife and mother.rnrnFuture patients should know that Dr. Inman has TWO full drawers of socks! She has a quirk, just like each of us in the rest of the world. And, quite frankly, I think it is a fun quirk.rnrn
