Surgeon Testimonial

David Kam, M.D.
My first impression was that he was passionate about the surgery and his patients. I knew i would be in good hands from the first day i met him. He answered my questions honestly and I felt he was able to give me a lot of useful information. My impression only became stronger after the surgery. The office staff at Barix is amazing! They were all helpful and supportive! I would definately recommend Barix to anyone considering surgery. After care is very important and I like how I meet with the nutritionist and Dr. Kam at every appointment thus far. I find they give me information to keep on track with my protein and water intake, as well as advice. The after care program is very structured meeting with him at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year... I am glad he is on top of things. I rate himself and his team 10/10! I felt his surgical competence was very good. Although I felt his bedside manner a certain times could have been better. I know he does have to see many patients in a day and that could account for the time constraint when he would come in to see me. The nursing staff was exceptional, whenever i needed anything they were there to help! They were kind hearted and uplifting. :)

Hi Brooke, Just wanted to say Hi and good luck. I am also a Canadian and Dr. Kam did my surgery on November 29, 2006 - almost 2 months ago and I am down 55 pounds. Hang in there for the first few weeks and then you will feel like a million bucks! Congrats and Best Wishes, Lori

Been on a new forum www.tummytucktalk.ning.com !! It is fantastic if you are researching Plastic surgery... most of all LBL, TT and BA ...

You have to be serious about it as it is private and you must be active or you get the boot! So if your interested you need to be approved, but pop on over and check it out!

Looking into plastics presently with Dr. Sayeg in michigan. He was the plastic surgeon Dr. Nunn suggested (the new surgeon that took over Dr.Kams patients when he left Barix and moved to Traverse City).

I have been searching around the plastics site for before and afters and costs etc.

Its a process I tell you! and trying to get everyone on board in my life is going to be a challange! lol...

Eating everthing in site lately !
