Central California Bariatric Surgery Bariatric Center

My God - this man is the MOST AMAZING SURGEON ...rnrnHis office staff are extremely friendly .. He and his PA's are very informative and have a GREAT BEDSIDE MANNER ...rnrnI immediately trusted and felt safe with Dr. Coates ... In the Modesto community - he is known for this surgery, and his success rate.rnrnThanks Dr. Coates - and your STAFF.rn

I think Dr. Coates is a really caring person. His office staff is competent and caring. They stress the importance of aftercare including regular lab tests, office visits and the use of support groups.(I personally hate support groups but understand their value) The surgical risk were stressed in the pre-op surgical class and in the educational literature.rnrnI think Dr. Coates has wonderful support staff to take care of all the \"details\" so that he can do what he does best...Surgery!

What can I say about Dr. Coates? I went to him because a girl I worked with did her surgery. I can't really say anything about him. I met him once before I went into surgery and havent seen him since.LOLrnThe staff has been friendly so far. Ive only had to deal with them for a month now. But I would say they're proffesional enough I guess.Some of the girls at the front desk can use some phone ettiquette (sorry I spelt wrong)But overall I dont worry about people and their lack of mannerism.

I had my surgery on July 30th, 2009. I had met with Dr. Coates once before the surgery and then again right before I went in. I'm told that he came by my room after the surgery, however I dont remember it. I like him very much. Seems very confident in his ability, so that puts you at ease. I have no complaints about him at all. His office staff has always been very helpful and really nice.rnAfter care is important to this Dr and his staff.rnIf I had to say something negative about him, well, I dont really have anything negative to say.

Dr.Coates is a very good surgeon.I actually didn't meet him till the day of surgery.That was fine bacause he has a great med staff behind him.They're great people,they've mad me feel so at home whem I'm in the office.Dr.Coates and his staff make sure that they give all the education you need before you have your surgery.They tell you as long as you follow what they're program wants you to,the program will work.I'm so happy about the whole experience and I wouldn't change a thing.

My first impression if Antonio Coirin was in Summer 2008 at his seminar in Modesto, I found him to be very informational and to have a great sence of humor. rnI had lapband surgery in January 2009 Throught the Pre Op process his staff was very helpful and kind even though i called often to check on my status. lol...rnHis staff is very helpful and kind. However there was ONE day where I thought the staff was kind of unprofessional. HOWEVER, without me saying anything about it the staff apologized for the incident on my following visit. Dr. Coirin stresses the importance of aftercare/follow up. I appreciate everything he has done for me even though I am still just starting out and haven't lost much weight yet, I know that someday (hopefully soon.. lol) I WILL. So far my experiences with Dr. Coirin and his staff have been very well.

My first impression of Dr. Coirin was through his staff, we didn't actually get to meet until the morning of the surgery, though I have since spoken/met with him on numerous occasions. His staff is well informed, educated, very professional AND sensitive to the special needs of WLS patients. I was impressed with the emphasis on patient education, and the lengths we, as possible candidates, were required to go through in order to give a truly informed consent for whatever procedure we chose. And, now, being post-op (12/23/08), I very much appreciate the aftercare program and monitoring. I developed a slight complication 1 month post-op, and I couldn't have been in better hands - doctor and staff.

Dr. Coates came highly recommended by a friend, and others. I thought he was nice and too the point.rnHis staff, are wonderful, very efficent and helpful and encouraging. The aftercare program is excelent! Over all very informative. I would rate every aspect execelent.

Dr. Coirin is in my book a life saver. Most would say that because of the surgery. Dr. Coirin saved me years after as I was sick with a severe vitamin def. He knew what was wrong when the other Dr.s were guessing at it.rnrnI could go on about him and his staff. Like any office they have some problems. They are busy. I have to say that for me they have always been more then willing to work with me and help in any way they can.rnrn

My surgeon was very nice. He had very good bed side manor. He came and introduced him self prior to the surgery and assured me every thing would be okay, seeing that I was very nervous. He also reminded me that this surgery was only a tool and not magic. It was up to me to do the foot work in order for this surgery to work. I would rate him a 10. Although It would have been nice to see him more than just a couple times, but over all him and his staff are very nice.
