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

trying to plead my case
posted on 2/17/07 11:40 am
so my mom and i have been speaking with Dr.Kam and Tracey his receptionist... and we are trying our best to get in for next week as windsor did not fax my results over till thursday afternoon, which was rediculous in the eyes of everyone that we sopke with at barix b/c it does not take long to read a CT scan ... anyeho so i was bumped out of my tentitive spot and i am just crossing my fingers thay someone has to cancel for what ever reason and that i can continue with surgery as planned for next week, as for having it march 7 which was his alternate date it is almost impossible with school doable but if there is any complications and he has to convert to open then i will not be able to return to school and therefore my year would kind of be at a loss.... so i am uo in the air as to what i shall do.  at this point i am going to sit it out and see what occours next week... if not it may be march and if not in march late may...???? i am just one big question mark at this moment!
