Central California Bariatric Surgery Bariatric Center

Dr. Coirin is a wonderful man. His office staff is great and getting very busy,This is a sign that he is good at what he does.I would very much recommened him to anyone.

Dr Coates was the best. A very nice man and very informative. Welling to spend as much time with you as needed. I was very inpressed with our first meeting.I will see him again on the 8th of Oct.
There was a long wait but I had heard that about alot of surgeons so had a book with me and just releaxed,

I met Dr. Coates for the first time this moring and boy was I impressed! I started off getting a little miffed because my appointment was suppose to be at 8:40am and I didnt see him until after 10:00am but I now under stand why the wait. He sat down and explained everything to my mother and myself. And drew diagrams and explained the risks and the benefits to us which took over 20 minutes! Then he was happy to answer any questions we had. Then I got my "Before picture" taken and then I talked about scheduling with the nurse. He is very compationate and understanding, and completly and utterly thourogh I highly recommend him to anyone. So after I have had my surgery I can totally say I love Dr. Coates. Even though I got the scare of a life time by him making me have a 2nd surgery on day two I know it is because he was on the ball and right on top of the what ifs? I have complete faith in Dr. Coates and if you are choosing a surgeon in the area, he should be your #1 pick!!

I had my consult today and I love Dr. Coates!! He is kind and very enthusiastic! The office staff was friendly although they have misplaced my medical records! I look forward to the future and I feel I made a wise choice in Dr. Coates!!

I went to the orientation and look forward to meeting him for a consultation on Sept. 16. My consult actually happened early. I met with his Assistant Eric at first then Dr. Coates came in and explained things and just made sure that I felt comfortable about the surgery. He is a deffinate people person. He really makes you feel like you made the right choice with going with him as a surgeon. He has an absolutely wonderful bedside manner.

His information seminars are very informative. He is very patient with everyone's questions. At the consultation he was wonderful. He made me feel totally at ease, probably the first time I ever visited a doctor and didn't feel like I had to apologize for being overweight. He has a great sense of humor butis equally concerned that you know all the pros and cons of the surgery. His explanations are thorough and easy to understand. On the down side his waiting room is extremely crowded and next time I will bring a book as I had to wait over an hour past my appointment time, but once I got in I was never rushed.

Dr. Coirin seems to be a very confident doctor. I first met him the night of orientation he spoke and answered questions. He is a soft spoken man who tries to make sure everything is understood. I did have a consultation, it was brief, I didn't come very prepared, if anyone else is going come prepared with written questions. You will forget everything time you get in there. We have not talked about aftercare yet. He did address the risks of surgery to me and my husband. Best advice I could give anyone is to stay on top of their doctors office and insurance company, because sometimes papers get lost in the shuffle.

Dr. Patrick Coates is a very warm,caring and friendly surgeon. He explained the Lap RNY surgery thoroughly and told me what to expect and how my diet would have to change.He didn't rush me out and even though I had to wait for over 1 1/2 hours to see him, it was worth it. If I would have gotten right in to see him, I would have wondered why he didn't have many patients. The waits may be annoying to some but it shows he is in demand. Dr.Coates has the best bedside manner ever.He looks you in the eyes, smiles and he takes plenty of time to listen to you and let you know what to expect before, during, and after your surgery. At my one week post-op appointment he told me to call him "day or night" if I ever had a question. Now that is true dedication! I have never had a doctor tell me to call him during the night if I needed to. I love Dr. Coates and the new lease on life he has given me and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, dedicated, highly skilled surgeon who puts your needs first! He is a 10+ in my book!

Dr. Coirin was an excellent surgeon. He is very soft spoken, and takes the time to listen to you. the office staff are very helpful, and prompt in getting back to you. He very clearly addressed the risks of surgery, and overall, I would recommend him to anyone.

I had heard many positive things about Dr. Coirin from two friends who have already had RNY surgery. My first opportunity to meet Dr. Coirin took place during his seminar. From the first moment I felt a surge of excitement. I knew this was what I had been looking for and that Dr. Coirin was the only surgeon for me!

I am fortunate to have a fabulous support system and was accompanied by both my husband and my mother to the seminar. They had each been working through some concerns about my idea of surgery, and shared with me as soon as the seminar ended, that they were completely confident in my choice and the path I was taking. They have been a constant source of strength and support and I know will continue to be with me throughout this journey.

My first office appointment was later that same week, which resulted in even more positive reinforcement that this was where I needed to be.

Dr. Coirin was kind and concerned, very thorough in his explanations and in relaying to me what my expectations should be. He was honest and seemed genuine and sincere. I had done some research into the lap RNY procedure and found Dr. Coirin to be confident, knowledgeable and quite comfortable with my many questions and concerns. Dr. Coirin was also very clear that this was not something that would be over once my physical healing was complete. This was a lifelong commitment to my health. He discussed the importance of attending support group meetings, following the guidelines of the plan (he provides an excellent reference manual), and my responsibility to make and keep all follow-up appointments and complete my labwork to ensure my health.

I trust Dr. Coirin and know that God has led me to the hands that HE will work through.
