Jeffrey Strain Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

I thought Dr. Strain was very nice and competent. Very willing to answer any questions that I had. He was wonderful while I was in the hospital and I would definitely recommend him to others. The nice thing about having the surgery through the WISH center is the structured program that they have. You are able to talk with a dietician, psychologist, and exercise physiologist so you are able to draw from a wealth of information. They have a structured aftercare program and highly recommend connecting with a support group.
Overall I would give Dr. Strain a very high rating!

Hello, I went in to see Dr. Stain again for my pre-op visit.. He is such a nice person.. He tells you exactly what to expect and is right to the point.. He has a great bedside manner with his patients and I look forward to my surgery.. I was able to ask him very direct questions and get very direct anwsers. I ask him all his credientials and how many surgery's that he had performed. I was very impressed with his qualifications.. I would recommend Dr. Strain and the Wish Center to anyone considering having Bariatric Surgery and not feel one bit hesitant about it.
Sincerely

I give him an A+ and 100%

I really like him, he is very thorough! I think all the staff at the Wish Center are amazing.
When I asked Dr. Strain, what people have done who have been more successful, he said "Support groups". I have already attended a support group and look forward to attending them after surgery. He spoke in great detail about the risks involved. Overall I would rate him A+++.

The WISH Center, Renton, WA is a very supportive and helpful place for WLS. I met with psychologist, exercise physiologist, nutritionist, insurance/payment coordinator and surgeon. All seem very supportive, informed and very familiar with their roles and jobs. I have my pre-op appointment scheduled for 08-23-04 and my open RNY is scheduled for 09-15-04.

The WISH Center encourages support groups and provides access to as much assistance as you need throughout the process. This WLS is a major life changing decision, and I feel very comfortable with my decision to use the WISH Center and its staff.

Very personable and understanding. Really wanted to be sure I had a support system and used all the options available to me with the Wish Center. The office staff are very nice. I enjoyed my visits with all the specialists. Stacy is the 1st contact, and she has been great answering my questions, reassuring me , and helping me gather all my information. Norma is in charge of financing/insurance and she celebrated with me on the phone when I got my approval. Patients should know if you are approved for laprscopic rny both Drs have to be in ther, so you get both their experience and special attention. The wish center has a very good support system , I have recieved emails from my personal support person, as well as there are after care support groups and counseling.
