Mixed Emotions

Dr Thoman did my bypass surgery. I feel his is a good surgeon and is committed to his patients. His bedside manner is very cold however and he is not assertive nor does hi give good feedback. It's hard to get information out of him. I loved that he did not require a pre op diet or weight loss. His office is organized and he was able to schedule my surgery fairly rapidly. If you are looking for a good surgeon who will Have your back than he is your guy, just don't expect any hugs or even a smile. Ha. I would do my survey again 100%.

Worth It$25,000Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Very Technically Competent - Santa Barbara

i only paid 2500 my insurance only charged me 10%. Dr T is very competent. the pro op process was very good. there is not a lot post op...just blood work and quick 'are you taking your pills, walking, etc) visits on a set schedule. Karen his office manager has been very very helpful and supportive and if i had questions for an RD one is available to contact. my only complaint is that my pain was very badly controlled. i was in severe pain for 3 days and moderate pain for 2 weeks. i was vocal about this but nothing satisfactory was done during those 3 days. i was told pre op i would have a PCA and one was not provided. i am very happy with the outcome of my surgery and would do it again in a heartbeat, but would barter beforehand on pain control. the problem is that i did not know it would be a problem of course. oh, he also forgot to come out and tell my sister i was out of surgery and how things went. that is pretty bad i think! but again his actual surgical competence is very highly rated and his complication rate is basically 0, which is a big deal.
