Pinnar Surgical Associates, Ltd. Bariatric Center

Excellent staff. Dr. Pinnar is very personable. It is my understanding he is a highly respected surgeon in the medical community.

I met Dr. Robert Pinnar in September of 2007 and he was a very sweet and soothing person to talk with. I followed along in the 2 hour seminar given and was so impressed that I went right home and told my husband he is the doctor that I wanted. I had researched a few others and they made me nervous somehow...I knew Dr. Robert Pinnar was for me..for my very first surgery ever at 36 years old. Sue Anderson is his nurse assistant and she has been extremely informative thru this whole process. I knew my insurance had a clause so I chose to pay for this myself. I can send emails to Sue with any kind of questions daily and she will answer all of them... with no problems.. Paul Marino is Dr Pinnar's asst and he was also extremely informative and caring..The difference I have seen with Dr Robert and Paul Marino is that they actually seemed to care...always open for questions no matter how nervous you are..(and I was extremely nervous)..they were very kind, gentle, and sweet to me before surgery and after surgery.... and very imformative to my husband while I was in recovery...I saw Dr Robert Pinnar and Paul Marino before I went to sleep and they were in my room after surgery and back in my room the next morning before I was released...I love them both... I will recommend them to everyone I know.... that would like to give the band a try...I love it...My surgery went exactly as they told me it would. I had no surprises at all. I would rate them as an A+++++++++++ I actually looked forward to seeing Dr. Robert Pinnar's big smile when I went in for my first post op visit.....

Dr. Robert and Eric Pinnar are a surgical team. I met with both during a monthly seminar. I found both to be extremely professional. Because I didn't really have a preference I chose Dr. Robert since he had the earliest opening for surgery. The office staff is very helpful and resourceful. The receptionist, Jill, had the procedure done last year herself so she is very helpful and understanding. I would highly recommend this practice and either surgeon for the surgery. Dr. Paul is the doctor who assists in surgery and also performs all adjustments, he has a wonderful upbeat personality.

'* My first impression of him: he is a pleasant
