Central California Bariatric Surgery Bariatric Center

What can i say? Dr. Coirin is the absolute BEST!!!!!!!!

I always thought he was wonderful! He office staff was tremendous in making sure this surgery happened after many let downs over this 2 year process. He is incredible in laparascopic gastric bypass - within just a few days I felt wonderful and now I am 2 weeks post op and am already walking a few miles in the evening.

My first meeting with Dr. Coirin was at the consultation in his office. My husband and I liked his calm manner and organization. We felt very comfortable with him. He answered all of our questions, and we didn't feel rushed. The office staff was very nice. It was the second day after the move to Modesto from Manteca. Even with the rush of moving and a heavy case load, they were very efficient and nice. He was very thorough about going over my records and seeing that the tests I still need were arranged. If he gets the dictation done quickly so that all my papers will be sent to my insurance for approval ASAP, he will be my hero even before I see him again and get a surgery date!!

My first impression of Dr. Coirin was that he was the most attentive Dr. that I had ever seen. I was so impressed that he had actually read the questionair that he had me fill out. Every time I see him he always takes time to answer every question and concern that either my husband or I have. You can tell he really cares about his patients. He is a very gifted Dr. He has a great staff. They are very busy but very personal with every patient. I really was impressed with how detailed he was with going over the entire procedure before my surgery, making sure I really understood exactly what was going to happen. He makes you feel really comfortable and and at ease. He was was very up front with all the risks involved, however personally I had no real concerns. I KNEW I was in GOOD hands!
Dr. Coirin had already done surgery on my son in law and on my daughter the month before mine. Dr. Coirin in my book is the Best! Fantastic! I have recomended him to friends and will continue to recomend him. He has wonderful bedside manner and exellent surgical competence. He goes that extra mile for every surgery he does. Thank you Dr. Coirin for giving me life Back...kathy stoaks

He looks younger in person. Funny, doesn't seem to get bogged in details..I liked him. I'll know better on the 4th of June.

I went to see Dr. Corin on Tuesday Feb. 17, 2004. The office staff and Dr. Corin were very helpful in answering all my questions. Dr. Corin went over the surgery completely.

My first impression of Dr. Coirin was formed at a meeting I attended at Doctor's Hospital in Manteca.
He was warm and genuine, very soft spoken but very honest about the surgery. Once I was ablt to meet with him in his office, I only came to be even more sure that I had made the right decision in surgeons.
Karen and Sonia have been life savers. They have helped me at every turn.
Anyone going to meet with Dr. Coirin must know that he is very quiet, but very willing to spend whatever time it takes to be sure all your questions have been answered. Do not be afraid to ask!
Dr. Coirin's staff sets up post op appointments for you and in the informational binder (my second Bible), but everyone tells you over and over again, "DO NOT BE AFRAID TO CALL!"
Doctor Coirin was very up front and honest about the risks associated with surgery. They do let you know that the percentage of deaths from this surgery are a lot lower than other surgeries and that the higher the weight and BMI the more risk involved. However, I believe in my case that the risks of not having surgery are much greater than the risk of the operation itself.
I think both bedside manner and surgical competence are important however, I would rather my surgeon be highly killed than a good talker!
I am excited, anxious and will be forever grateful for Dr. Coirin and his staff.
I cannot speak for others and believe everyone should judge physicians on their own.
What has been right for me may not be what is right for others. Anyone researching this surgery should feel free to contact several surgeons until you hit on one that feels right. Dr. Coirin was the third I had met with. The other two did not "feel" right, Dr. Coirin was a good fit for me.Your experience and journey need to be custom made for you.

My surgeon was wonderful. He is one of the funniest nicest people I think I have ever come across. He is funny and to the point. To me it matters when someone has a good bedside manner. The staff in his office is really nice to me too. I do wish that they weren't so busy all the time for their sakes and mine haha. They encourage a outlined aftercare program.

I met Dr. Coirin at the informational seminar and he seemed to be a very nice Dr. I ask a few questions there and he answered them and didn't make me feel like I was asking a stupid question. When I went to see him for an appt. he was very nice and he knows his stuff. I've always felt like Dr's judge me because I've always been overweight. He didn't do that. I'm glad that God has given me, him to be my Dr. for this surgery. I know he will do a good job. And his staff is wonderful also. I always call for something and they never make me feel like I'm bugging them. Sonja is the best. I think if you are considering Dr. Coirin to be your surgeon for this surgery, then you don't need to look no longer. I thank God that he has given Dr. Coirin the wisdom to help people like me.(super obese) YUK!!!!! I hate the very sound of that.

Dr. Coates is a wonderful doctor! He takes all the time you need to answer everything you want to know. At first getting through to office staff was difficult, but the office has moved and become much more efficient. The girls are great. There is often a long wait in the waiting rrom for your appointments, but once you get in you see why, they really take time with you. I just take a book and expect to wait. My hospital saty was great, good nurses, care and concern for me was tops! Memorail & Dr. Coates have brought this to Modesto on a successful program and I am doing well so far.
