Dr. Michael Champney, MD

I just returned from my post op appointment with Dr. Champney and I can honestly say my experience was outstanding from start to finish. His front office staff and nurses were kind and helpful. He took plenty of time answering all my questions, the surgery went perfectly and recovery was a breeze. I went in to my post op appointment with a list of questions and, once again, he patiently answered each one about diet, exercise, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Champney!

My visit and ultimate surgery with Dr Champney and his team was great. From appointment setting, to follow up, to meeting his staff and meeting Dr Champney, my experience was one of professionalism, proficiency and patience. Dr Champney explained all my options to avert surgery - I had a choice. I choose surgery and felt that I made the best decision and that I had a very capable and competent surgeon on my side. My results are great. He gets my highest rating. I have been recommending Dr Champney to every I know. May his hands remain Blessed.

Dr. Michael Champney is a champ and a scholar! Upon making first contact with his staff at Dekalb Surgical Associates, they were very friendly, show concern, empathized and were swift in scheduling my first consultation. During our meeting, he gave me his professional opinion, explore options, explained his observation and advised me of his comfort level in performing the surgery. He also answered all my questions and addressed concerns. Years ago, I was diagnosed with what was believed to have been a hemangioma, and the specialist at the time performed an outpatient embolization that didn’t work. Long story short, this growth became very painful and Dr. Champney was able to expedite and schedule my surgery within two weeks amid the pandemic! The surgery was very successful (removal of vascular malformation); I’m thankful to his support staff at Northside Hospital for helping perform with excellence. Dr. Champney comes highly recommended for his professionalism and care.

Dr, Champney made me feel comfortable within five minutes of our first consultation. He was clear and concise about the procedure I was about to have performed. (Hernia repair) By the time I had surgery on July 6, I knew exactly what to expect, Surgery went perfectly, and I was stunned that there was virtually no pain. I was prescribed pain medication but never needed it. The minor discomfort I experienced was easily dealt with using an ice pack for twenty minutes twice a day for two days. Within two days, I was up and about as if nothing happened. This has been the most pleasurable surgical experience I have ever had. Dr. Champney and his staff are totally professional yet add a human touch that can't be matched. I feel I couldn't have been in better hands.

Dr. Champney is a gentleman and a scholar. His background is mostly in surgery, but the fact that he still takes time to accommodate patients at Dekalb Surgical is truly a luxury for all. I had a very painful issue that Dr. Champney was able to solve relatively quickly. There were a few restrictions on how to go about solving the issue aka my work schedule, time to recover, cost associated, etc. Dr. Champney was stellar in recommending the option tht fit best. 10/10 in my book.

Dr. Champney is an excellent physicians who listens when I speak! He is calm and reassuring and I ha e full confidence in his opinions.

Dr. Champney is very knowledgeable and understanding. He took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all of my questions. He did not bully me into immediate surgery, but discussed the options, risks and benefits of all options with me (he even drew pictures). An earlier review commented that the office staff were not pleasant, which was completely wrong based on my experience. Everyone was incredibly kind and responsive!

Dr Champney seems to be very knowledgeable and polite and friendly but his staff is extremely unprofessional: if you decide to schedule a procedure and a nurse is supposed to call you - be prepared she will not. your choice either find another doctor or call them again and again . I called twice, had no response and found another doctor.
