Above all his professionalism, dedication, and his strictness during my whole process has helped me. Not only do I look thin but I also look very healthy. To top it off the service at his clinic in San Bernardino is excellent, as well as the products he sells to help live a healthier life. A million thanks to Dr. Krahn!

Dr. Krahn and his staff are so amazing! I haven't met everyone yet, as I'm just beginning this process, but I already know that I'm in good hands and look forward to the rest of this journey. They've answered every question I've had so far and they don't hesitate to go above and beyond for their patients. It's very obvious that they care so much for their patients. The staff is very knowledgeable and they make sure that they can be reached, should the need arise, even if it's outside of office hours.

I am so greatful for Dr Krahn and all his staff they are amazing. I had rny on 3-11-14 and since then i have lost 170lbs. I was 330 pounds when i first started my journey i also have Rheumatoid Arthritis and cause of that and my weight i could not walk or stand at all I had to use a patient lift. And now thanks to Dr Krahn i got my life back i now weigh 160 pounds and now i no longer need a patient lift i can stand and take a few steps with help of a walker. I could never thank him enough for everything he is an amazing Dr and an amazing person. Thank you Dr Krahn for giving me my life back

I was so pleased by not only the information and suggestions that he had for me but what a beautiful job he did with my incisions. I can't thank him and his nurses enough for the welcoming and care and support they have given me thruw the whole process . thank you doctor Krahn!!!

I was 364 pounds when I started my weight loss journey and after months of struggling and only losing 20 or so pounds, I met with the wonderfully talented Doctor Krahn and his amazing staff. I am now 9 months post op gastric bypass and have lost 209 pounds so far! Not only is he a skilled surgeon but one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He has literally saved my life, I wouldn't be here much longer if it wasn't for him. Thank you for giving me my life back Western Bariatric!

I am so grateful to Dr. Krahn and the people who work in his office. My surgery is next week and they have helped me to understand that this is bit an easy fix but instead a lifestyle change. I would highly recommend this Doctor!

I have been a patient of Dr Krahn for over 4 years. I started out getting the lap band, and with Dr Krahns help and encouragement i was able to lose 150 pounds. Unfortunately i gained some back and am having difficult with losing it again. With the his help we have decided to do a revision, i will be getting the gastric sleeve on September 6th. I am still down approximately 100 pounds. and i have every confidence with Dr Krahn and his team that with the sleeve i will do even better. When i did have a problem with the band Dr Krahn was there to help me thru it all.
Love this Dr and his great team.

I had gastric bypass with Dr.Krahn on December 4, 2015. My surgery went beautifully and I was resting at home the very next day. My recovery was quick and smooth because I followed all of Dr.'s orders. Now that I am post op I really get to experience the staff at Westeren Bariatric. I can't really describe the amount of support I receive. It is amazing and I truly appreciate the fact the these Doctors have chosen to surround themselves with such a talented and caring staff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Krahn's since 2008. I had no idea what to expect, but Dr. Krahn and his staff were very accommodating to my (any my parents) concerns. After careful consideration, it was decided that the Lap Band System was the best option for me. in August 2008, I had the Lap Band and did very well. My Highest weight was 345, and I was able to lose 175 pounds. I was able to maintain my weight loss for about 4 years. The following two years, I had regained 80 pounds and knew something was wrong.
Due to dilation of the upper part of my stomach, which rendered the Lap Band useless, I underwent a revision to RnY Gastric Bypass. Throughout the entire revision process Dr. Krahn explained that having the revision would be most beneficial and assured me that if I did my part, the tool would work. Even with Insurance bumps, his staff did everything they could to make the process seamless for me.
Dr. Krahn and his staff are very active at our support groups (on line and in person), follows up with Dr.s visits, and has been there every step of the way. They give their patients every opportunity to succeed. In total, I have lost 200 pounds, with my current weight being 145. Dr. Krahn and Dr. Chin are wonderful surgeons and I am thankful that Western Bariatric has been there for me every aspect of this journey.

I am a patient of Dr. Krahn and I had surgery in 2012. I have been nothing but pleased with my care. As a medical professional myself, I know the difference between a doctor and an office staff that cares and one that does not. In response to the review from mom2many I am somewhat curious if she kept up with her after care? I know that it is very important to have your blood work up to date and to go in at least once a year for a check up. I can also tell you that no medical office will keep records past 7 years, the law allows them to be destroyed after that point. I know from personal experience that any call/request that I make to either office is answered promptly and professionally. I thank Dr. Krahn and his staff for giving me my life back and standing beside me through this entire journey. I would and do, highly recommend Dr. Krahn and his practice to anyone.
