Very Caring people regarding not only the patient but also the family. I would not hesitate to go there again. They have just opened up a new Barriatric Wing too!
At the consulation with Dr. Inman, it was during the class time where she takes about 90 minutes to explain the procedure, risks..etc. She takes time to answer questions to the group. She seemed very warm and had a sense of humor. That may not seem important to some but it lightens the mood which I feel helps reduce the anxiety. The only downfall I could find was that when meeting with patients one on one, she had her Physicians Assistant meet with some of the patients. I think she is a resident possibly training for this type of surgery? Not sure. She was very nice as well...unfortunately I cannot recall her name. Some people in our class met with Dr. Inman and others with the assistant. I met with the assistant. I would feel much better going into the surgery if I had actually spoken with the Doctor who is going to perform the surgery. On the flipside, I understand why she does it this way. The surgery has become so popular that the classes are so large she would be there till all hours of the evening if she had to meet with each person. I guess I look at it like Dr. Inman must have a lot of faith in her assistant to be able to count on her for her input. Either way, I am still glad I switched to Dr. Inman.
the care was great. the staff were very caring. the only thing that went wrong, i was not given my daily lovenox shot while in the hospital. they missed two doses and i didnt realize until i got home. that scared me , but my surgeon said keep walking! and dont miss anymore shots.
I called in November to schedule for consultation. I attended Dr. Inman's consultation on Dec. 9, 2002. She seems to be knowledgable & very good at what she does. I have heard alot of positive comments from other people who have went to her. The only thing you're not told at the seminar is how long the process takes. The first letter was sent to Cigna on Dec. 24. Of course that took until Jan. 27 to get approval with alot of follow up. Then it took until Feb. 20 to get a surgery date for July. Dr. Inman is very booked up and it would have been nice to know before getting started. I guess I'm just impatient!
Efficient, quality care. The staff was aware of the value of early ambulation. I was up and moving within 6 hours of surgery. Their response to my call light was very quick. They also were quick to get responses to any of my questions.
It's weird to say that I enjoyed myself - but, I have to say that I can't imagine being treated any better than I was - I had very excellent staff.
My first impression of him was "WOW he seems so down to Earth!" <p>
My impression of him only got better.<p>
The office staff is the bombdiggity!<p>
Not a thing, he is so likable as well as lovable.<p>
That he is so kind and sweet and ready to listen to anything you have to say and will answer any and all questions that you may have.<p>
He emphasizes aftercare a LOT! After all aftercare is just as important if not moreso than the surgery itself.<p>
Yes He does have a very well structured aftercare program.<p>
He addressed the risks of the surgery very well and made everything very clear to me.<P>
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm how would I rate him? On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best, I would rate him as a 100.<P>
Without a doubt---------BOTH!<P>
His sense of humor is great too.
I had my consultation with Dr. Inman on 1/27/03. Found it to be very informative. She is very highly recommended by others and I would have to include myself into that list. She is very dedicated to her cause and she is there to give you a tool that you use and make work for you. She makes it very well known that this process is up to you and that it will not be easy and you will have to work hard.
