"My first impression of Dr Evanson was ... um, he looks very young. I interviewed a lot of surgeons before making my final choice. It was important to me to have the BEST doctor around. I was chosing to have an elective surgery that may cost me my life. So i did my research and found teh best doctor i could. That was Dr. Evanson.
He's very down to earth, he's a rare surgeon who actually has a personality. Easy to understand. Fun to joke with and seems like a normal person. Im one year out now and he's never criticized my progress. Ive had 4 fills that were PAINLESS and he aims for the sweet spot with each fill. In other words he gives aggressive fills. :)
What made me pick him over all other doctors?
During my interview i asked him... "how may lap-bands have you placed, i know the learning curve is 50 and this is important to me" His reply was.. "learning curve is 50 but 20 for me" he was confident in his skills and that made me confident in him.
He also once made the comment that he could crank lap-bands out 1 an hour. They are a piece of cake to do. That confidence made him "the" doctor for me. Im very happy with him and his staff. He comes highly recommended from me.
In my opinion he's the best wls doctor there is in indiana. And i interviewed a LOT of surgeons including his own partners. =P
He is the best in my book. "
