Ascension St. Vincent - Carmel Bariatrics Hospital

I must say that Dr. E. is the best! Even though he called me a "blue octupus" (inside joke Dr. E) You really cannot ask for a better surgeon! I am two months out and have dropped 70 lbs! This man truly cares about what he does and the benefit it will give you as a WLS patient. If you need to drive to Indianapolis, don't sweat it, it is worth the trip!

I met with Dr. Inman on March 10, 2003. She is a great doctor. She is very skillful, and I feel confident in her abilties. She answered all of my questions. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

I have not met my surgeon yet. I saw and heard her at the initial group consultation. I met with her physician's assistant. Everyone that I talk to that has dealt with Dr. Inman says she the best. I'm sure she is.

was not there very long to really elaborate but will say one thing dont expect to lay in bed and not walk cause the nurses have you up and going shortly after surgery

Both my husband and myself were very impressed with Dr. Inman and her presentation of the surgury and its risks. She has been very understanding and never rushed you if you had a problem. She is very conciencous of your health and well being. We continue to feel this way even after my year is up. Anyone who chooses her, has chosen well.

The office staff is very thorough, I couldn't have made it this far if not for a qualified staff. The only problem we had was in hearing about the definite costs the patient would incur, but they were minimal at the very least. All misunderstandings were dealt with in a positive way.

The After care for a patient is very good and your questions and calls are answered in a timely manner. They make you feel that you are very important to them and I feel that it shows in all that they do.

Bottom Line Rating on your Journey with Dr. Margaret Inman and staff is a "10".

Sorry to be so uplifting in this review but I call them as I see them. God Bless All.

I met with Dr. Diaz on 3/3/03 for a consult. A VERY nice man. My husband and I thought he was very informative and easy to talk with. Even though this was my first meeting with him I would highly reccomend U.S. Bariatric at Florida Hospital, Celebration.

As many have mentioned, he looks young, but is older than he looks. I have worked for physicians and medical personnel for over 15 years and am not easy to impress; however, Dr. Evanson impressed me with his knowledge and his extreme empathy and passion for what he is doing.
I've been approved by insurance and the staff was wonderful about helping me get my information together. I expect a call within the next week to schedule surgery. I disagree with the comments that the office is slow. Considering the amount of people in my group consult who wanted surgery, and the amount of people who were in the office for pre-op testing etc...I'm amazed that they are so timely in their responses, especially to telephone questions. They were all very helpful and extremely thorough in every way when I asked for assistance.

Even though he appeared young, I liked that, becasue he seems to be very knowlegdable and performs the latest and least invasive surgery. PhP does not approve the procedure themselves. they allow the Dr to determine if I qualify for surgery and approve it based on that. i was told from the 1st visit with no approval problems 2 to 3 weeks I am going on 6 - 8 and his office staff seems to move slowly. My insurance is still waiting on info from the office. The longer it takes them the longer out my surgery date will be. Currently im looking at April. he seems to be very thorough and even answered questions an concerns my husband had. So far I would rate him a 10 and office 5. We will see if things change.I do call about every other day and makes sure things are getting done! I will say though they are always very pleasant when I call, and I do believe they are doing there best. I think overall though I will be pleased with him and his office. I think its more so becasue im anxious and becoming impatient.

All rooms are private and the nursing staff is very good for the most part. The few problems I did have I made the nursing supervisor aware of and the issues were taken care of. I was made to feel that the staff really cared about me and my recovery.

My first meeting with Dr. Inman was at my initial consultation when she spoke of the different types of surgury, risks..etc.. I felt she was very thorough and knew what she was talking about. The office staff was very nice and helpful. My consultation was with Dr. Inmans PA and i'm not sure if I will see Dr. Inman until the morning of my surgury. Overalll I would rate her a 7..I didn't actually get to speak with her personally which I would have liked to do.
