Antonio Coirin Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

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.

My first impression of Dr Coirin was a good one. I felt like he was going to be a good surgeon and that he was listening to what I said to him. After surgery, he was very good with following up and answering all my question.

I LIKE TO THANK DR. COIRIN, FOR GIVIVING ME ANOTHER CHANCE TO LIVE A HEALTH LIFE. I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO THINK ABOUT HIM AT FRIST. NOW I THINK HES A VERY NICE PERSON. THEY ARE VERY HELPFUL AND KIND. THEY ANSWER ANY QUESTION THAT I MIGHT HAVE. THAT HE CHECKS UP ON HIS PATIENTS IF NOT HIM SOMEONE IN THE OFFICE WILL CALL YOU TO SEE HOW YOU ARE DOING. THEY MAKE SURE YOU COME IN FOR CHECK UP, GO TO MEETINGS,ARE YOU TAKING YOU MEDS, THE OFFICE ALSO LET MY OTHER DOCTOR KNOW WHATS GOING WITH ME ANY LABS OR MED CHANCES HOW I'M DOING WITH THE WIEGHT PROGRAM. I THINK I HAD A GREAT SURGICAL AND I TALK ABOUT HIM TO ALL MY FRIENDS. I RATE HIM 100%rnTHEY ARE BOTH GREAT.

I never did meet my surgeon, as my surgery date was cancelled one business day before I was scheduled for Gastric Bypass surgery. rnrnI want to share that it is VERY IMPORTANT that YOU call your insurance company to verify that you are pre-approved. The surgeon's office told me I was approved and had me do all the tests prior to surgery, then said my insurance wasn't approved afterall. rnrnWhen asked if they would reimburse for all the bloodwork and EKG, they said it was MY responsibility to verify that I was covered with the insurance company.rnrnSo, please learn from my personal experience. It will save you and the doctor's office a lot of grief.

Dr. Coirin was awesome. I had little pain with no issues. I couldnt of prayed for a better surgery & process. I have had no issues other than having to have my gallbladder removed 7 months after the surgery. That was done by Dr. Coitin also. No issues with that either. Very happy with the whole surgery process for both.rnrnThe office staff is great also, very helpful & quick to get you answers.

ive only met him once at seminar but he seemed very genuine and understanding.

My surgery was on 08/05/08. I did not get a chance to meet Dr. Coirin until the morning of surgery, but had heard great things about him from many people as I work in the medical field. When he came to speak to my husband and myself before surgery we were both very impressed with his great bedside manner and soft-spoken nature. He put us both at ease. His office has set up a great protocol for gastric bypass surgery and they have been great to work although I did have to make frequent follow-up calls to make sure things were getting done. They are, however, very thorough and their patient care is wonderful. I also have to say that Memorial Medical Center staff are the best - their patient care is excellent. I have had a great experience so far with this life changing event and have already lost 30 lbs. I would recommend the gastric bypass procedure to anyone and I feel great.

I had my RNY on 06/05/2008. Dr. Coirin was my surgeon. I first heard him speak at the introductory seminar and I heard very positive comments about him. Other than speaking with him momentarily after the seminar, I never actually saw him again until just a few minutes before surgery. All of my other appointments at his office were with his nurses and P.A. They were great and answered all of my questions. So far, my recovery has been excellent, I feel really good, and I've been losing weight daily.

My surgeon was very nice and also very adiment at letting me know that this surgery is only a tool and not a fix and I have to stick to the book if I want it to be succesful for me. His italian accent was very calm and soothing. His staff is always great. It only took me 2 1/2 weeks for approval after they submitted the information for my TAR. The surgeon is wonderful. He has an awesome program starting with the seminar, then consultation, then pre-op class, then pre-op appointment, then post-op appointment, then post-op class and so on and so forth. He is very experienced and that is the main reason why I chose him and I would definitely refer anybody who was gonna have the surgery to him.
