Surgeon Testimonial Brad Amson, M.D., His name is Dr.Amson in Victoria BC Canada he is a a sweet caring man who was easy to talk to and very understanding and warm. I am very comfortable with him and feel positive about having him as my surgeon. His staff was wonderful I got real talkative to one of the secretaries there she was very sweet and warm as well. he is very thourough all you need to do is go in fully prepared with your questions and I am sure he will have your answers. Dr.Amson in November 2002 was quick and efficient in ridding me of my gallbladder. I saw Dr.Amson Sometime around oct-nov 2002 I think. I discussed the pain i was having with my gallbladder and he assured me he would get me in ASAP. I was in and out of hospital a couple of months at least and I got a date of Nov 15th for my date. I ended up having a severe attack and saw him in his office I believe Nov 7th and he said to come into the hospital that weekend as he would be on call. I ended up having really bad pain that night and went to hospital. He had me admitted as he was in hospital that night and I had surgery the morning of Nov 9th. He was attentive and kind and even saved some stones at my request. It turned out 3 stones were blocking the duct. I seriously would tell anyone if you want a surgeon who truly cares for his patients he is the best. I think he goes above and beyond what any other surgeon or dr would do. He keeps following up on me every few months I see him and he is always very supportive and a wonderful ear to listen. I am honest with him in my shortcomings and he is wonderful in making me I am still doing well and that we all have our moments. I cannot speak highly enough of him. Truly he is a saint. His secretaries are all wonderful and caring as well. I know they get many calls and somehow Val one of the main secretaries that works for him keeps track of who is who and what is going on with us all. She truly seems to also care for how Dr.Amson's patients do. I know it is frustrating for the wait and there are many waiting and she gets calls all day long of when when when somehow she keeps it together and she does truly care for the people who come in. Dr.Amson has assembled a wonderful team. Member Interests
Angela M.'s Journey Click Here To View Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery. I had weight fluctuations throughout my life, however unlike many on here I did not suffer with being really overweight until when I had got pregnant and starting having children at 17. The same as my mother. My whole life i watched my mom do alot of weightloss programs and my dad taunt me about being "just like your mother" anytime I ate pretty much anything. That's what happened when I got out on my own I was depressed and didn't know how to deal with food management and eating and then it became the yoyo and I became like my mother, i got to gaining 25lbs a year Latest Surgery Support Comments
