My 1st impression of Dr. Ingram was, i'm glad there is a female doc to do this. lol, I dont know why i thought that. When i sat down with her, she made me feel like, this is my choice and she wont pressure me into having this surgery. She spent well over 2 hours explaining everything to me, ( even though she had another pateint waiting). She is soft spoken, but you can tell she can be a toughy when needed. She had on this indian inspired braclet, and being from south asia, I for some reason felt... comforted by seeing it, like we was connected lol. The office staff is very efficent, and the secretarys are nice. The nurses are nice, and will talk to you whenever you call. Ann was very nice. The PA's are very comforting as well. Evelyn calls back whenever she gets a chance, but she can be a bit abrupt. I needed to ask more questions and felt that she was rushing me. The male PA is awsome, he called me late at night and stayed on the phone with me until I felt confident about what I was to do.rnrnDr. Ingram told me all about the risks, and she really emphasized it, and gave me alot of info. She honestly gave me her ratio of morbitity and mortality rate, for her and the hospitals bariatric center. She was also honest in saying how many surgeries she did and why so many/less.rnrnI rate her out of 1-10 she is a 10 1/2rnShe has a great surgical competence and very good bedside manners. She saw me right before my surgery, assured me that I will be ok, and she saw me in the recovery room, and if it wasnt for her, I would have been in more pain than ever. The recovery room nurses are not that nice. One nurse kept saying that if im falling asleep then how could rnrnI be in any pain. I kept telling them that my pain was an 10 and she kept arguing that im falling asleep. Dr. Ingram came in and asked me what my pain level was, and I cried out a 10!, she immediatly asked the nurse why wasnt she notified, and the nurse said that , well she's fallin asleep so I dont think she is really is in pain. Dr. Ingram was like, JUST BECAUSE SHE IS FALLING ASLEEP DOSENT MEAN SHE ISNT IN PAIN!!!!!! After that the anestegialist came and upped my dose, and I indeed felt better. rnrnI would recommend Dr. Ingram to any pateint, who is not so confident in what they should do or not to do, becasue she isnt a pushy surgeon.
