Re: Looking for feedback on Surgeons at Richmond

[Guest guest]

I had Dr. Im and I think he is fantastic! He was very thorough and

always made sure that he had answered all of my questions. He spent

over 45 minutes with my husband and I the first time we met with

him. He is the newest surgeon in the group and I had my

reservations about that at first, but he quickly gained my

confindence. He has done a special fellowship in minimally invasive

surgery (laproscopic). I think that probably they are all great.

I can only speak about Dr. Baggs, as he was my surgeon. My

experience with him was nothing but positive. He was wonderful! I

found he was easy to talk to. He was very upfront about things. I'll

be seeing him on Friday for my 1 year check-up! He's a great surgeon

and you'd be lucky to have him.
