Ascension St. Vincent - Carmel Bariatrics Hospital

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.

I would recommend the hospital to anyone wanting to have bariatric surgery. It is a wonderful facility with a very caring staff.

Many people have commented on how young he looks. I work with many young new doctors and I thought Dr. Evanson looked about the right age. Old enough to have great sugical experience young enough to have nice steady hands. I'm getting old enough they all look young to me anyway. The first time I saw his picture on the St. Vincent web site I decided I did not want him because he was to cute. However when I called to schedule an initial consult at St. Vincent the day I could go was a day he was doing consultations. After meeting him all reservations went out the window. I liked him and felt comfortable with him immediatly. He's warm, honest, he lays it all out on the line so you know what is involved and what his expectations are. The staff in his office are friendly and very helpful. Sometimes it is hard to get thru without leaving a message but they always returned the calls. Care at the hospital was also top notch. Ona scale of 1-10 I would give St.Vincent and the office a 10. Dr. Evanson gets a 20. He did such a good job I won't hold that Purdue thing against him!

2/2/2006--Initial Consultation. Very personable and PASSIONATE about what he does. Shared lots of information about before and after care as well as risks and benefits. So far, so good.

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.

First impression was that he looks very young.
He is a quality physician. I could no say enough good things about him; thorough, informative, caring, patient......

Office staff was very helpful especially the office manager Coleen, in getting through the "red tape" of the insurance company.

I really like my surgeon, Dr. Margaret Inman. She is very knowledgeable about the surgery and seems to have researched everything. Any question I ask, I get an immediate answer. It is hard to get through on a phone line----I am sure because she is so good.

I had my consult with Dr. Evanson on April 7th. Can I just say I love this man! He gave me a new life.

He is very to the point, but has a great attitude and great bedside manner! Office staff has been very helpful during my healing stages!

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 have not had surgery yet, but when I do, I'll be sure to update this section.
