Joel Sebastien Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS, Director of Bariatric Surgery

Dr. Sebastien is wonderful! My surgery was less painful than expected. His support staff has all the bases covered. They have all been extremely supportive in my weight loss journey. I highly recommend him to anyone in our area.

Dr. Sebastien is wonderful!!! He is soft spoken however, he is very direct in letting you know the positives and negatives of the surgery. I had the RnY in april of 2008 and have lost 61 lbs in 4 months. I feel like I was reborn on April 23, 2008. East Coast Bariatrics has a strong supportive team and I would highly reccomend anyone considering this surgery check this program out. Once again East Coast Bariatrics, Dr. Sebastien deserve highest praise for professionalism and support.

My first impression of Dr. Sebastien was that he was a calm and patient man. He answered every question asked of him at his information session and he spoke honestly of the risks involved with WLS. He stressed the importance of competent before and after care and introduced us to his team of professionals. Everyone at East Coast Bariatrics have been wonderful. The program is set up in such a way to make sure you are prepared, both physically and mentally. Also, there is a support group in place to provide information and guidance after your WLS. I am so excited to have found such a great team.

Dr. Sebastien and the entire bariatric team at East Coast are a pleasure to work with. They walk with you every step of the way and make sure you understand all aspects of the surgery and what you need to do to get the best outcome. The nutrition and exercise education are priceless and they are definitely dedicated to being available to me at any point in the process....even years from now. I appreciate the care and interest they show in my health and my well-being.

Dr. Sebastien is very quite and reserved. He was wonderful with both pre/post op. We have an extensive program in at Halifax. They don't just approve anyone. I was preparing for surgery since January 2005. I love the way we have been prepared both for pre & post op. I have heard of doctors that will do the surgery without any hestiations....WOW that's scary!!!! I would highly recommend him to anyone!!!!
