Darrin Hansen Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

My first impression of Dr. Hansen was he was very talkative and seemed passionate about what he was doing. His office staff seemed nice. Future patients should be prepared with any questions you might have, he answers everything thoroughly. He has a very structured aftercare program. A lot of his staff has had the Lapband Surgery done. He drew on my belly to show where the incissions would be. I just loved him.

Dr. Hansen did my repair surgery on August 15, 2005 at Southtowne surgery center. I had an excellent experience. My impression of Dr. Hansen and his staff has only gotten better (if that is possible!) as time has gone on. He has been very easy to contact. Very responsive to any issues I have. When I see him in the office, I always have a list of questions and he is very patient and answers them all. I never feel rushed. I am so grateful for being so well taken care of. Having surgery again was scary but it all went so well. I think anyone would be lucky to have Dr. Hansen. That office really cares about its patients. They are incredibly accommodating, and just the most swell bunch of people I have met in the medical field. I am sorry I don't have anything negative to say. It has just all been great!

My new Doc is Dr. Darrin Hansen in Sandy, Utah. I met with him for a disconnected port. He is wonderful. Very nice and spent lots of time to help determine what my problem was. Office staff is first rate! I have NEVER met such a dedicated and helpful group of people. Traci has been an awesome support. I would definately recommend people to go to Dr. Hansen. He is very informative and addressed all of my issues. Very, very patient with my insurance problems. I just think the world of Dr. Hansen and I am so glad I found such a good, caring doctor. He is going to repair my Lap-band in August '05.

My first impression of Dr. Chua was that he was kind, quiet, good sense of humor and a great listener. My impression of him has only gotten better over time. His office staff has been GREAT. They are wonderful everytime I go in. They are very helpful when I call. They treat me with dignity and respect. I would definately send people to Dr. Chua. He is a great surgeon. I trusted him. He saw me both before and after surgery. I had a question 3 days post op and I had an answer in minutes. I am extremely happy with my choice. Dr. Chua encourages aftercare and I will have to meet with people where I live. I have traveled from St.Louis to see Dr. Chua and have my surgery with him. He explained all the risks well. Overall I would rate him a 10 out of 10. His surgical competence and bedside manner are outstanding!.

Quiet, very nice. First met him at the teaching seminar. On pre-op visit was very impressed with him. willing to talk and explain things to me and my husband.. Day of surgery I barely remember anything. Was impressed the day after surgery that he call me at home..
