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

posted on 2/14/07 12:18 pm
ok so... you know how i got all excited about having a date for next week... well throw it right out the flippin' window!  cause i'm not now.. b/c stupid windsor didn't send the CT confermation to Dr.Kam yet! and well having a cancellation today because of the weather he had to schedule someone in my tentative date... you know why are they so so slow here in canada it takes like a whole 15 minutes to go through a CT scan! and then all they have to do is send a little fax his way ... GRRRRR... so now i have a new date march 7th and if anything opens up next week then its mine... ut until then here i sit and cry ... i guessI have to look on the bright side i supposibly have only the hemigioma on my liver and it isn't blocking anyhting .. so i must keep thinking positive ... as much as i can.. i shall pray that someone has to cancel! lol... i have that whole week off of class for spring break and i took work off and everything!
