Dana Lindsay
"I had my first appointment on March 4, 2003. The initial visit was with Dr Hilfer, who seemed very nice and thorough even though he was very busy. The staff has been very nice. The only problem was the waiting, but since I have been on the other side in a medical office I can understand. Before I could get an appointment I had to purchase the information about the surgery and there were a lot of questionairs to answer, but also in the binder is all the information for the aftercare which is nice to know what to expect and also all of this came with a VCR tape which was good to show family members that are concerned with what I want to have done. Now I am in the process of getting all the consults done. I have an seeing a doctor and/or a tech every day this week. I'm looking forward to getting everything done so I can make my next appointment which will be with Dr Madan. Well, I'm 2/3 way into the game and I'm changing doctors. I had my appointment with Dr Madan, but he informed me that he is not comfortable with my being so far away and also that I'm too heavy for him to do surgery on at this time. He suggested I find a doctor closer to home. So when I got back I went to the Indiana message board of OH and started doing some checking and I believe that Dr Lindsay will be a great choice. I called her office and the bariatric coordinator was very pleasant and we sent up an appt with their nutritionist and with Dr Lindsay. I have called the Memphis office and they are sending me the record release form to sign. Dr Lindsay was amazing, she was down to earth and explained the procedure in common terms to leave no question as to what was going to happen. She was not in a rush like a lot of doctors are and was willing to talk and answer questions. She is a really personable doctor that does not make you feel like a fat person like so many other doctors do. I believe I made a great choice in choosing her for my surgeon."

"This is the only hospital I have been in that was atune to the obesity patient. The nurses were excellent (some even had WLS themselves). No one looked down on you because you were so big. Every department was very helpful and kind."
