Has anyone had Dr. David Kam as their Surgeon?

[BlessedTwice 1]

Hello,

Dr. David Kam is joining the Office where I'm going to have my surgery at. They should have all of my paperwork and call and give me a consult and nutritionist appointment next Wednesday. I'm thinking that I'm going to request him since he is new there and I should be able to get the surgery done sooner. What have you thought of him? Were you happy with him and the Surgery he performed. I'm going to get the lap band since it's less evasive. I have a BMI of 40.8 and do not have any other health issues except for being overweight. I've read one post about him and it was good. Thank you for this help in this journey.

Blessings,

Brenda:)

Hi

I had a couple consultations with Dr. Kam and he was really nice. I liked him. Ended up in Mexico though since I couldn't wait for my insurance to cover it. (depression) I hear he is great with fills though. I tried to get in to have him do mine but since he was leaving, I had to find somewhere else to go. So, where did he go after he left Barix?

He's starting in Traverse City at Grand Traverse Surgery. Thank you for posting.

Karla, from my lap band support group, goes to Dr. Kam. She is getting a fill this month, hasn't had one since October because of his move. But he's in Traverse City now, doing lap band surgery and fills. She swears by him!

I think Dr. Kam was in Lansing, MI at some point. I have heard wonderful things about him.

Dr. Kam was at the bariatric clinic in Ypsilanti.

I had my original consultation with Dr. Kam (while he was in Ypsi). However, since I chose the lap-band, I ended up changing over to Dr. Schram. Dr. Schram has more experience and specializes in the band. Dr. Kam's biggest success and specialty is the bypass. I like them both. Both are wonderful physicians and both are very knowledgeable in their craft. However, since I had the band, Dr. Kam wasn't gonna be my choice. ONe of my close friends is a nurse who works side by side with both and Dr. Schram simply has a higher (nearly flawless) success rate with the band since he teaches it around the world.
