Central California Bariatric Surgery Bariatric Center

Well, I had was was considered my consult appointment with Dr. Coates, only thing was I didn't actually get to meet Dr. Coates one of his NP's saw me at the initial consult appointment. He was really nice and I like him very much (Darryl) but I thought it was a little odd that I didn't actually get to met Dr. Coates yet. Because of that it makes it really hard for me to give my impression of him.

he is a really nice man, very soft spoken, takes his time with you and is very comforting. I feel very confident with him as my surgeon.

I met with Dr. Coirin on the 16th of March for my consultation. He was great and his office staff is AWESOME! They are so busy, yet so on top of things. They are wonderful, especially Sonya. I am looking forward to my surgery on April 8th!

My first impression of Dr. Coirin was wonderful. I attended a siminar in Manteca and went to my first consult and met him personally. He was very warm and informative. He made me feel comfortable and answered any questions that I had. His office staff was very busy, but also very friendly. I am stillk awaiting insurance approval. All pre op testing is done. Dr. Coirin made it very clear how important the aftercare was. He stressed on all aspects of blood work, support meetings, exercise, vitamins, water and protein. He made sure that I understood that the after care was just as important if not more important than WLS. He made sure that I understood all the risks of weight loss surgery. I would rate him at the top. Alot of surgeons make you feel uncomfortable due to my size, Dr. Coirin made me feel self confident and let me make the final decision reguarding WLS

First impression of Dr Coates were that he seem to really be concerned about what ur needs were. Hes a very concerned and caring Doctor. I'm so glad he took me on as his patient. One thing for sure he sure is a very busy man! Way to go Dr Coates ur the bomb!!
My first visit was not what I expected. Took a while to get my approval due to the fact that the office was a mad house. Alot of changes goin on.
One thing about him he is sooooo popular hes in such high demand. Be prepared to spend a few hours waiting to be seen.
I really like how he explained everything to me and explained the after care.
He explains all the possibilities to me and was ready.I rate him a 10 hes great I would do it again! I recommend him highly!!

This surgeon was very skillful, confident and easy to talk to. i appreciated his positive and humorous attitude. No matter how good the surgeon, it is up to us the patients, to be compliant and determined to achieve the outcome we all desire...to be healthier and slimmer.
With the program Dr. Coates uses, I have every chance to succeed, but it is truly my choice. I'm working on the new me....Anita in Modesto

Dr. Coates is a radiant human being. He literally glows. He really loves what he does and wants to do as much for us as he can. He's spread a little thin but his P.A's are great the staff is very supportive. The aftercare program is very structured and the lively discussions in the waiting room only reflect each patients delight to have him as a surgeon. Dr. Coates has a structured educational program from begining to end. My overall rating for him would be a 10 out of 10, both his surgical competence and bedside manner are great.

My first impression of Dr. Coates is he a very kind man. He seems to know his job well. His patients seem too be happy with the results from their surgery. I looking forward to having him as my surgeon.

Dr. Coirin and his staff are the most wonderful group of people. His staff is always available to answer questions. They have several support groups in the area as well as a nutritionist that you meet with prior to surgery and one week after. Dr. Coirin is very patient, he never seems hurried when I have questions or concerns. Always has a smile on his face and I think he really cares about all his patients. I would recommend him to anyone thinking about WLS. You won't find anyone better.

I met Dr. Coates at the seminar. I have heard many great things about him so far. I haven't had my consult yet because of some insurance problems, but as soon as I see him I'll let you know exactly what I think!
