Western Bariatric, AMC Bariatric Center

I liked Dr. Krahn and all his staff! They were great. The have a way of making you fell like part of the family.They went over all the risks of the surgery and made sure I was sure what I was getting in to. They were wonderful.

Dr. Krahn and his staff are a wonderful group of caring and compassionate people. The treat everyone with the utmost respect and care. It is more like being a member of their family, rather than a patient in his practice. Everyone there makes it their mission to see that you are seen and cared for in a timely manner, from office visits, to compiling information, tests and insurance documents all necessary in the approval process. Dr. Krahn and his staff of nurses are all willing to discuss the pros and cons, procedures, risks, etc. involved with WLS. He and his staff are very involved in the world of Bariatrics. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of taking this journey!

Dr. Krahn is a very capable doctor; a complete professional! I am totally impressed that he has staffed his office with people who are informed and caring about the various surgeries and the patients who are having or who had the surgeries. Dr. Krahn is a straight forward doctor and is thorough when giving answers. I appreciate how his nursing staff seem to be the warmer side of his practice, but they too are very informative and go beyond what patients have grown to expect from other medical practices. Anyone considering gastric bypass would be in great hands if they chose Dr. Krahn and his staff for their surgery! in addition, I am grateful they provide after surgery care via monthly support groups led by a professional counselor and a nurse. My surgery was at St. Bernadines and they also gave great care, while I was there for 3 days. Because they are a Catholic hospital, a wonderful nun would come by to visit. Her stay was only a couple of minutes, but she conveyed that she was praying for me. The whole surgery process was a complete great event that has given me what was needed to start my new life with hope and confidence.

The impression that i got from Dr. Krahn was very impressive. He answered all of my questions i was not just another patient.The office staff is wonderful and always answered all of my questions. Dr. Krahn stresses the after care. So far His bed side manner is and was very impressive he ans the office staff treats all of the patients with respect and dignity and i felt that there was no judgment and wants you to have the best care possible.

He is very caring. He has a Great education program and I feel that made a BIG difference in my success. He did address all the postives and neagstives regarding the surgery. My family was very much included in my education for living after a RNY. The down side is that he is very busy and it is very hard to get a quick answer to a question.

My experience with Dr. Krahn and his office staff has been excellent!

When I first saw Dr.Krahn it was some time ago at a seminar in Rancho Cucamonga. After listening to him, I felt right away that Dr. Krahn would be a great choice for my WLS. At that time, my insurance did not cover him for my Surgeon. A few months had gone by and I was approved after some more paperwork, still unsure of who my surgeon would be. Then my Dr office called me and said the surgeon would be Dr.Krahn. I was so excited!!! I immediately went online to see if it was him. I was so happy that it was. My 1 on 1 appointment was good. Although, I was very nervous, My mom was with me she asked so many questions. Dr. Krahn seemed to be very concerned about my health and passionate about these WLS procedures. The office was clean and professional looking, and had a photo album of before and after pictures which was nice to look at while I waited. The office staff was nice. Debi came out to taljk to me about what I could expect from here on out. They gave me a package with lots of information. The pr-op diet is very strict and structured, which is a good thing, easy to understand, so there is no mistakes. So far i would rate Dr. Krahn a 10. He is also very handsome:)

D KRAHN WAS THE BEST . HE HAS A VERY GOOD BED SIDE MANNER. HE LISTEN TO YOU AND ALL YOUR CONCERNS

My first impression of Dr Krahn was very good. He was easy to understand, spoke clearly and didn't use a lot of medical terms that would confuse me. I love his office staff. I have always enjoyed my visits and have always felt comfortable. I love that his staff is comprised of bariatric patients. Both of the surgeons in his office are awsome and have been so helpful.. I was never concerned or afraid, I felt and feel safe in their hands. Their care in the hospital was awsome. I told them I didn't feel comfortable going home and wanted to stay one more day and they said no prob! I love these guys! Thank you for saving my life!rnrn

I have met Dr. Krahn only twice now, but he has definitely made an impression on me. He is funny, personable, and whether its years of training or not, he seems genuinely concerned and interested in my needs as his patient.
