I don't think I could have picked a better hospital. The bariatric floor of St Vincent's was wonderful! I don't think I seen a face without a smile on it for my entire stay. I couldn't sit/sleep in the bed. They found me a recliner that was perfect. Dr Inman was even surprised to see it,lol! I would refer anyone in my life to this hospital. They go above and beyond when it comes to care!
From my first pre-op consultation to my surgery day, I was absolutely thrilled with Dr. Diaz and the staff at St. Vincent's Bariatric Center of Excellence. I can't say enough good things about how organized the program was, how quickly I was able to get all my requirements completed and get a srugery date, and just the overall superior level of patient care I received. I can't say enough about Dr. Diaz and their practice!
If I had to make any complaint at all, it would be that the pre-op nutrition class and requirements I was given were designed for RNY bypass patients and not customized for VSG patients. I am hopeful that as they start to do more VSG surgeries that they will customize this information for their sleeve patients.
Dr. Inman is simply the best and greatest Bariatric Surgeon on the planet. I did find her a bit strange at first but that was just because it was a quick meeting the VERY first time. Over time, I learned she isn't so strange and is very meticulous and GREAT at her job and considerate to my needs and health. Her office staff is beyond magnificent and always ready to listen and answer any and all questions to my satisfaction.
There's really nothing I liked LEAST about her other than I wish there were more of her doing the DS. Getting a doctor on call unfamiliar with DS can be a pain!
Aftercare is VERY important and heavily emphasized. No question is dumb or wrong and there is a wonderfully structured aftercare program!
Dr. Inman carefully described all the risks in the surgery. I would give her a big fat TEN on a scale from 1 to 10!
Dr. Inman has a great beside manner (again a little weirdish) and surgical competence beyond my expectations!
My surgery was 12/08/10..I would highly recommend Dr.M.Inman for her surgical expertise. She is very focused on the task at hand. If you are wanting a "friend relationship" with your surgeon-she probably isn't it. She is very professional and matter of fact.
Dr.Inman was highly recommended by 2 co-workers who had their RNY surgeries done by her.
She is matter of fact and tells it like it is. Her office staff: I have split opinions on right now - her office manager Colleen is exceptional as is Amy the benefits specialist. The receptionist isn't overly friendly but hopefully that will change as I have more contact with her.
Aftercare is highly emphasized with many resources at your disposal. I would prefer to rate Dr.Inman overall - after surgery.
All my research and inquiries rate her surgical compentency exceptional. She is one of few surgeons in Indiana that does the BPDDS/lap procedure on any regular basis.
I have absolutely no complaints about Dr. Evanson or anyone in his staff. From the beginning of this process, all the way through surgery, everyone treated me with respect and never once made me feel embarrassed or ashamed for why I was there.
I went into the surgery feeling 100% informed and I left the hospital feeling the same way about my after care.
The day of my surgery Doc Inman came in to talk to me as I lay in my surgery gown. She went over some stuff with me, gave me the lengths she would use and what have you. When asked if I had any questions one thing came to mind. How many times in the past have you had to revert to open from lap? Her response was very reassuring, "Mmmm, once" she said. I nodded, I knew I had come to the right woman! I remember the surgery room, it was all laid out so perfect, so sterile white and chrome...and cold. My DS has been great so far, an easy recovery and good results so far. Dr. Inman is a busy woman who is great at what she does. My DS procedure took her under 2 hours...what a PRO, right???
Thank You Dr. Inman, I couldn't have done it without you!! Believe me I have tried...
She came off as a very professional and intelligent person.
St. Vincent TRULY is the center of bariatric excellence. I have been to the hospital on other occasions, and not just for bariatric surgery. There staff are ALWAYS courteous, knowledgeable, and caring. I will not go to any other hospital. My family knows that if I am ever faced with ANY life threatening emergency, this is the hospital that I want to recieve medical treatment.
Dr. Inman is very professional, thorough, and takes a personal interest in following her patients. She is very informative, and responds with a complete explaination to all questions. If you are a smoker, please be advised that if you would like to keep her as your surgeon, you will need to quit smoking for life. She does not promote any unhealthy behavior, and she will not tolerate it. I feel blessed to have doctor Inman as my surgeon. Please feel free to do your own diligent research, as you will be impressed.
