William Chapman

"In May 2002, I was put on ECU's waiting list (a 1.5 year wait). I had my first appointment at ECU in late April 2003, fortunately meeting Dr. Chapman and nurse/assistant Natalie on that initial visit. They were very informative and spoke very candidly, which made me feel comfortable with my choice of ECU immediately. <p> Dr. Chapman impressed me as a doctor who solidly knew his "stuff", and is well versed in this surgery. His confidence in his work instilled a sense of security in me, even as he explained the possibility of surgical complications and their percentages of chance. He thoroughly explained the pain and discomfort I should expect, along with the dramatic change in dietary intake. In addition, he stressed the necessary lifelong committment to dietary change, and physical maintenance as well as exercise. He ended by saying that a good support system was needed for those days when the going is tough, especially in the beginning. <p> I cannot say enough about Dr. Chapman's professional approach, and caring attitude during my consultation. He has definately given me a sense of calm about the hands I will be in during my time on "the table". He cared enough about my well being to mandate that my husband be here for support during and after surgery. I feel that he is a very competent doctor, who considers each individual case and the well being of each person who requests evaluation for this life altering surgery. "
