My first impression of Margaret Inman, was knowledgable, professional, and very to the point. She didn't sugar coat anything. If you were there and you didn't plan on doing every step she advised you to do, you shouldn't bother her or waste her time. She's serious about saving lives and doesn't need to waste her energy, skills, or resources on people that aren't committed! This impression continued throughout the consultation and the brief one on one time my husband and I spent with her. She was friendly and sincere, but she knew her job and that is to make sure we know ours as patient and support team members. (my husband and family) rnrnThe staff was friendly and fast. The front desk person was a bit cool, but you only have to deal with her for a small bit of time. Maybe she was having a bad day. *shrugs*rnrnI can't think of anything I liked least about Inman. . .liked best. . .candor. . .Don't sugar coat the risks, just lay them out there and let's deal with them. That was great and set my mind at ease. rnrnShe really stresses how they are there for you after surgery. But she also tells you. . .It is up to you to make that effort. rnrnOverall. . .a scale of 1-10 - 10 being the best. . .Inman's first impression 10 + . . . rnrnRight now for Dr. Inman. . .I have nothing negative. . .only the person at the desk was a bit aloof. . . My opinion my change as I meet with her more, but right now. . .she's getting an A- with me. . and the minus is because of the office girl.
I am very pleased with my surgeon and her staff. They have always been very professional, kind, caring and willing to help.
I would recommend Dr. Inman to anyone. She has the entire package: competence, bedside manner and a staff that supports you through the entire process!
The only downside is volumn. When calling the office for a specific person, generally you have to leave a message. I can only imagine the amount of calls they get daily so I would anticipate this for most offices.
My original DS surgery was performed by Dr. John C. Alverdy, at the University of Chicago hospital. Now I am under the care of Dr. Margaret Inman, in Indianapolis. I have enormous respect for both of these talented surgeons who have each contributed to my being able to re-gain my health and my life.
My first impression of Dr Inman was that she was a no nonsense bottom line person. I liked her right away. She was up front and honest with me. I wish that she would have taken a little more time with me on our one on one. Her staff was very helpful and friendly.
I found their information night very informative and helpful. They are right there if you need help with anything. I liked the fact that they do have a structured aftercare program and they encourage you to contact them if you have any comments, questions or concerns.
She was up front with the risks involved with weight loss surgery. I would highly recommed Dr Inman.
Since I haven't been approved yet for surgery I am still in the beginning stages, and finding my way to approval, I can't speak to her bedside manner, but I believe her competence speaks for itself when she sees you in her office and conducts the information seminar.
I meet Dr. Inman through my husband she did he surgery and I liked her very well! I tell other about her often! There office staff is very good and very helpful! Don't be afraid to ask question, she will anwser them!A lot on after care It is very in important!Yes she did, both times , for my husband and me!I rate her highly! She save my hubby and my life! The surgical competence, bedsidemarrer are great!
