Dr. Burhop is a mild-mannered man. Very kind and friendly. I felt comfortable with him immediately. I had my first consult in Sept of 2003. I then fought insurance for about one year to get coverage. Megan and Darlene from his office were more than helpful. Dr. Burhop took the time to write another letter for me and it helped. I saw him Sept 10 for my pre-op and his office staff is so friendly. You really don't feel like a number. I met Megan for the first time face-to-face and she gave me a big hug, as we had been through a lot together over the phone dealing with insurance. Dr. Burhop knew every step that we had taken. I didn't feel like he is the guy who just shows up in the surgical suite and does his procedure and leaves. He knows and cares about what goes on with his patients. I didn't feel rushed and he was happy to answer every question that I had. I'll update more after my surgery on Sept 23, 2004.
Dr Chiang and the people in his office are very nice. They are dedicated to making sure that you are making an informed decision and that you are doing what is best for you. They are very careful to let you know the pros and cons of both the rny and lab band procedures. They answer all questions and provide any information you may need. They stress the importance of aftercare. Dr Chiang did my gall bladder surgery laproscopically last year and is an excellent surgeon. He is friendly and approachable. The only thing I found odd was that he re-introduces himself to me every time. I think he forgets faces because he sees so many patients.
Dr Chaing was a very kind a respectful man. He made me feel very comfortable instantly and caused me no embarresment what so ever. He was very thourough in explaining the type of procedure he felt I should have and explained all of the risks and considerations related to the laproscopic RNY.
My opinion has not changed from my first impression of this surgeon. He was very accesable and his staff was friendly and very ontop of the game with my insureance company. I had no problem with getting my paperwork sent out quickly and accuratly and was approved in about 4 weeks.
I have nothing negative to say about Dr. Chaing or his staff. They were all just great!
He is very kind and actually sympathetic to the physical strains of being overweight. Alot of doctors out there are pretty calouse about an overweight person's daily struggles with weight and the problems it causes.
Dr. Chaing has you come back for follow up visits quite regularly to monitor your weight loss and iron/B12 levels. I have since moved from Wisconsin to California and will be emailing my lab results and weight updates to them every few months. They also push seeing a diatician post-op.
My husband and I met with Dr. Chiang together as we are both going through the process within a few weeks of each other (hopefully!!). Dr. Chiang is extremely patient and very thoughtful - he answered all of our questions and didn't have pat responses - he actually thought about it and answered. We had attended the seminar that the Bariatric Institute hosted and were immediately impressed with all 3 Drs (Engstrand, Burhop, and Chiang). The interaction between the three and afterwards when answering questions, they seemed to have an excellent repoire with one another. I like a Dr. who is willing to challenge others on their statements and be prepared to back up his when other's challenge him. I give Dr. Chiang the highest marks!!!
I am still so impressed with Dr. Chiang. I saw him for my 2 week follow up appointment and even though it was a quick appointment, he answered all of my questions. He is very caring and his competency as a doctor is outstanding. I have 5 little incisions and 2 look like little scratches, 1 is my port so it is larger but still not a bad incision, and then 2 others that are healing a little slower than the rest, but he was still happy with how things look.
DR.Chiang is a wonderful doctor.He talks to you in a way that you can understand. He has experience,and is very compassionate.
I liked Dr. Chiang immediately. He is warm and friendly and really knows his stuff! He's patient and explains things thoroughly. I absolutely trust him with my life! I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon!
I had some problems getting my paperwork moving through his office. They've now hired a bariatric coordinator so that should help in the future!
After my surgery I can say that Dr. Chiang was very compassionate - and that is no easy task when dealing with a big baby like me! He took all of my concerns seriously and always checked things out thoroughly!
I'd recommend Dr. Chiang to anyone and everyone!
I consulted with other surgeons before finding Dr. Chiang and did not feel confident with their method of performing a VGB to RNY re-do.
Dr. Chiang exudes confidence and intelligence which impressed me immediately. His method of performing this surgery, according to his drawings, was right on the mark. The other surgeons I saw made it seem so complicated and risky. He clearly pointed out risks/benefits and took the time to address all of my questions and concerns.
I have chosen to cancel my surgery. I was bothered that they did not return my call when I had questions, but quickly handed me to someone when I called to cancel.
Also, Dr. Chiang only sees you one time, the initial consultation. I would like to have had another appointment with him after I decided to have the surgery to address questions that I had after reading bulletin boards and other patient profiles.
I think Dr. Chiang is a fine surgeon, but their office has only done 10 revision surgeries (2 with leaks).
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Chaing. He is friendly and he knows his stuff! He makes you feel like you are his only patient. His office staff is great as well. Sometimes busy, but calls are returned promptly and if the person you need is not available someone else helps to the best of their ability.
