"My first impression of Dr. Halversen was "What a character!". Very friendly and up-beat.Love his sense of humour. Answered all my questions. Liked him more each time I saw him
Office staff are friendly and knowledgable
Dr. Halversen doesn't do Lap RNY. Feels open surgery is safer for the patient.
Aftercare is a must, and Dr. H. is very strict on what he expects from his patients; but understands weak moments. Rocky Mountain Assos. Physicians have a Bariatric support group in several areas along the Wasatch front.
You can call and talk to his staff anytime; you are assigned one of his nurses, who follows your aftercare. Most questions are relayed through her.
I think both bedside manner and surgical competence are both important, and nice to have. I wouldn't mind if the Dr. had a terrible bedside manner as long as he was a good Dr. Dr. Halverson has both qualities. However these views only reflect my personal experience with Dr. Halverson. I would choose him again if I needed to."
