Earnest, Sincere, Young I actually chose the Junction City Ks. group because of the reputations of Drs Stevens & Bollman AND the good reputation of Geary Hospital. I will be the 6th person in my family to have the surgery and some of their experiences were not so good. So, I partially knew what I was looking for. And the reputation of the hospital was a big factor in this. Some of the larger hospitals do not have the same outlook on caring for large patients, and are not so prepared.
6/25/02 I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT TODAY IS MY
1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY. AND I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO DR STEVENS. HE IS A VERY CARING DOCTOR. I FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE WITH HIM SO MUCH THAT
IF I OR ANY FAMILY MEMBER OF MINE NEED SOME
TYPE OF SURGERY I AM GOING TO DRIVE THE 75 MILES TO HAVE IT DONE. ANY ONE WHO CHOOSES
DR STVENS IS DOING THE RIGHT THING.HE IS NOW
PART OF MY FAMILY AS WELL AS HIS NURSE CARLA
AND PATTY AND LETS NOT FORGET OUR EXTENDED
FAMILY FROM OUR SUPPORT GROUP. JUST KNOW THAT
WHEN YOU CHOOSE LIV-LITE IN JUNCTION CITY IT IS FOR LIFE. LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!! MICHELLE
-123 LBS SO FAR AND STILL LOSING
My first appointment with Dr. Stevens was May 30th, 2002. The first step was contacting Live Lite. Patty Maycroft recorded my information initially and got insurance approval. She proceeded to walk me through the process of getting my psychological evalutation and setting my appointments with the dietician and Dr. Stevens. Each person in Dr. Stevens office was very kind, caring and compassionate. By the time I spoke with him I was very well informed about the surgery process, the diet after surgery, risks, etc. He proceeded to explain everything again to make sure I understand what I am untertaking. It almost seemed as though he wanted to try to talk me out of it. Once we agreed that the surgery is appropriate for me we set up the surgery date and pre-op testing. I understand the importance of the almost day long pre-op testing and what is expected of me after surgery. He has a very structured aftercare program that he expects you to follow. He emphasizes that your pouch is just a tool and your success in the future is up to how well you follow the pouch rules. I feel 100% confident in his abilities and his motivation to help morbidly obese people live a normal life. I really cannot think of any negatives in my entire 4 month process.
I was impressed by Dr. Stevens, I did not feel intimidated by him and he talked to me like I was a human being not an idiot. I felt comfortable with him and his office staff.
I have only observed Dr. Stevens during LivLite support group meetings, but am very impressed with his openness, honesty and willingness to tackle any question posed to him. I look forward to meeting with him on March 28th to discuss the surgery.
UPDATE - 3/28/02 - Dr. Stevens is a wonderful, professional and knowledgeable surgeon! I appreciated him taking time with me and explaining the procedure (pros and cons). The Dr. Stevens I observed in support group meetings is definitely the same person one-on-one. If you are searching for a surgeon and are looking in Junction City, KS - I highly suggest talking with Dr. Stevens!
The first time I met Dr. Stevens I was really nervouse but he made me feel completely at ease and answered all of my questions (I made quite the lengthy list!). I look forward seeing him "after the surgery"!
Everyone at his office was so nice! I know that I will be in good hands throughout my proceedure.
Aftercare is a very important issue! I feel that with the doctors help and his office staff, I will be able to make the transition after surgery with ease.
Dr. Stevens stated very professionally the pros and cons of surgery. I feel confident that I will come through like a champ!
I would give Dr. Steven's a 9 at this point.
Dr.Stevens was a very nice man he really cares about his patients.Answers all your questins and then some is very up to date on everything the stuff are wornderful very helpful too Iam very happy with my choice.
I have listened to Dr Stevens at the support group meeting in Junction City on 12 June and was very impressed. I have an appointment to meet with him on 5 July. I will update again after that.
I am very happy with how Patty Maycroft at Liv-Lite has managed the process of getting my approval. I received insurance approval in less then 2 weeks.
If anyone is looking for a caring organization that wants to help with your problem I highly recommend LIV-LITE in Junction City.
28 Mar 2002 - I can not say enough about Dr Stevens. He is so enthusiastic about helping obese people. Dr Stevens is at every monthly support group meeting and answers all kinds of questions and gives straight forward answers. He is a 10 in my book. He has a great bedside manner and I have all the confidence in the world in his surgical ability. In my experience with the surgery and aftercare with Dr Stevens I would recommend Dr Stevens to any and all.
i like Dr.Scott Stevens very much.He seems to be very devoted to his practice of weight loss surgery. The staff at Dr.Scott Stevens' office has also been very nice to work with.Dr.Stevens is emphasizes the importance of after care and follow up of support group meetings as well as compliance. I felt that Dr. stevens was very through with explaining the risks involved with the gastric bypass sx.
