Kaiser Permanente Richmond Medical Center Hospital
I really liked dr baggs and according to him I was and still would be considered the success haha I am getting a revision after five years of vomiting and being miserable. Do not get a lap band they kaiser. They told me I could always be seen and not to worry as soon as I lost my insurance I lost all support from my surgeon dr baggs and his staff. I have a slipped band and now I get to meet a new surgeon. If u plan on staying with kaiser forever good luck if not don't do it. Kaiser also doesn't do revisions, my friends who he also banded need a revision and can't get it!
I give Kaiser Richmond five stars I had Dr.IM and he is awesome I must say he has a great bedside manner and always answers however many questions you may have and beautiful incisions I must say nice handy work no complications besides vomiting for me so far! I'm five weeks out sleeved on 03/20/2013 and lost 20 lbs so far the program is strict but it works I had to lose 50lbs just to get my surgery but it is what it is goodluck to all!
Dr. Im was my surgeon and he was simply amazing. I appreciate Dr. Im because he was patient with me during the entire process. He didn't belittle me or make me feel less than because of my condition. He was supportive then and a whole year later he is just the same. He did an amazing job on me. No pain. No complications. ONly success
My experience with Kaiser Richmond was fantastic. I have no sad stories. Everyone was so nice and attentive. My Surgeon was Dr. Im, and He was the greatest. Very patient and considerate. I would recommend him to everyone. I was not and still not to impressed or a big fan of some of the bariatric staff. Very rude and nasty, I could really do without them. But other than that, I have no sad stories.

Dr. I'm was amazing with our initial consultation, he made me feel very comfortable to ask any question and have a positive response given. Not only was I informed about the positive atributes of my surgery, yet the negative as well. The day of my surger Dr. I'm spoke with me to insure I was ready ad informed me each step that would take place prior to me being placed under.
The staff was great during my stay. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I dont like the location of the hospital. It's kinda Ghetto. Parking kinda sucks unless your lucky enough to find a spot right out front. the elevators can be confusing. Otherwise, I dont have a negative thing to say about them, except they were all fabulous.
Dr. Park is amazing! She is extremely gentle and listens to you. She answers any and all questions and takes her time with you. I had my surgery done nov. 30 2011, at Kaiser in Richmond and she came in to talk to me before the surgery which went well. I had no complications at all. She also spoke at our 3 month appointment, she is very intelligent. She's a great surgeon and I'd do it again.
I was supposed to have Dr. Park, but after a mix up at Kaiser, ended up meeting with Dr. Im and I absolutely LOVED him !! He was super friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. He answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. I am now scheduled to be sleeved by Dr. Im and couldn't be happier !!
