Edward Hixson Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

3/18/02 : WENT TO SARANAC LAKE FOR MY INITIAL CONSULT WITH KAREN HIXSON(NURSE PRACTIONER) SHE IS DR HIXSON'S WIFE AND WORKS RIGHT ALONG WITH HIM. GREAT, GREAT PERSON!!! I BARELY HAD TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS BECAUSE SHE ANSWERED MOST OF THEM BEFORE I HAD TIME TO SAY A WORD. VERY INFORMATIVE. THEY GAVE ME A BOOK JAM PACKED FULL OF INFO. SHE SAID THAT SOME OF IT MAY BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER THINGS THAT I HAVE READ BUT THAT IS BECAUSE IT WAS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THEIR PATIENTS AND EVERY DOCTOR IS DIFFERENT. ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT FINALLY MEETING HER HELPED ME OVERCOME ANY SECOND THOUGHTS I HAVE HAD AND I KNOW THAT I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING AND COULD NOT FEEL ANY MORE CONFIDENT ABOUT THAT!!!! I MEET DR HIXSON ON 4/25/02 AND WILL MOST LIKELY GET MY SURGERY DATE THEN. I AM SUPPOSED TO HEAR FROM THEM TODAY AS TO WHEN MY PRE-OP TESTS ARE SCHEDULED FOR.I WOULD RATE KAREN HIXSON A 9!!!!

like him, think he is an excellent surgeon

My first appointment with Dr. Hixson was
very informative. I was given a lot of
information about the surgery and plenty
of reading material for when I got home.
Dr Hixson and his wife Karen are
wonderful people!
