Patrick Chiasson Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Amazing surgeon and Doctor!!!! Blessed to be his patient!

Extraordinary. Dr. Chiasson took plenty of time with me to explain and answer my questions. He came to the hospital after surgery to make sure I was doing all right and in subsequent office visits, made sure that all of my questions were answered. My first impression of Dr. Chiasson was at the seminar where I found him to be very serious about his profession and then later I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, explaining the risks involved as well as the benefits. At no time did I feel he was trying to "sell" his services.

His aftercare program is excellent. And he emphasized attending at least one support group per month, more if possible. We have habits that needed to be broken and it's much easier in a group.

All-in-all, it was a very positive experience and I would recommend VSG most heartedly.

Dr Chiasson is a wonderful surgeon. When I first met him he didn't intemidate me in any way. He treated me like a human and not another number. The staff at his office are some of the nicest understanding women in the world. I would not change it for the world. I am not sure that there is anything I don't like about him. He is professional and is understanding. When he looks disappointed he still follows it with but look at how far you have come. He has been doing these surgeries for a long time and I think that he is awesome...

I told my Gastroenterologist that I was looking into having an RNY in another city and he said no, go see Dr. Chiasson because he does the VSG and is highly experienced. I Googled Dr. Chiasson and saw he gave seminars every month, so I went to one a few weeks later. Dr. Chiasson clearly explained the different surgeries (RNY, Band, and VSG) and showed videos of actual surgeries, which was very interesting. He answered questions and offered information that completed the picture, so I knew the pros, cons, and risks ... and I was totally convinced the VSG was for me about half way through the seminar. I went back a year later when Dr. Burpee, his partner, gave the seminar. I liked them both, but Dr. Chiasson was available when I make my initial consult and I was happy going with him because he is very clear in his explanations. They have done quite a few of the surgeries, so I felt very confident in his abilities. Dr. Chiasson is a very sincere person, easy to talk to, and pays attention to detail, which is very important to me. The total program offered to patients covers nutrition, psych eval, and a bariatric class, plus you can get your protein and vitamin supplements right at the office. The staff is fabulous, always ready to answer questions, and I've received a call each week since I was discharged to check on how I was doing and answer any questions I may have. I'm a self-pay and his office offers a package deal, so everything is taken care of for surgery, hospital, anesthesia, and my aftercare appointments. One a scale of 1 - 10, I'd give him a high 10. I called a few days after surgery, on a Saturday, when I was having some difficulties. He returned my call within 10 minutes and patiently assessed my situation, gave me instructions in a calm, relaxed manner. I'd say that really is his greatest strength aside from being a top notch surgeon. He met me at the door, went over my surgery and gave me a sheet with my weight loss goals over the next year at my 2 week post-op appointment, all with the same patience he always exhibits. I feel truly blessed to have found him because I have some medical issues that I'm not really comfortable putting into just anyone's hands. I felt safe and well cared for with Dr. Chiasson. Definitely makes this journey a whole lot easier when you have a doctor you really trust. And I'd recommend him in a heartbeat!

I think Dr. Chiasson is wonderful and a God send. He did my weightloss surgery and 2 months later did my gallbladder surgery. He made me feel very comfortable. He is very caring and understanding and I would highly recommend him to anybody. His office staff is exceptional and professional.

went to my seminar at Northwest Hospital and waiting to here from the Doctor's office.

i went to a seminar in az and watched his production very informitave and helpful. i have an apointment with him on the 20th aug.2009 hope all goes well and with the 3 month diet i have to have should be able to have surgery by nov or december of this year.so far the office staff is very helpful it took me a while to get through the first time but left a different number and they got right back to me.

From the first time I met Dr. Chiasson he was very professional! He's very passionate about weight loss surgery, and making sure people choose the right thing for THEM. He's very thorough with his pre-op testing and although it took longer then what I had imagined to get them all done, I appreciate that he has all these to make sure that we know its the right decision for ourselves! His staff is very nice, and VERY helpful. I honestly am so grateful to have him as my surgeon. He's very informative and insists on you asking questions! Not to mention he has a very nice sense of humor! I would recommend him to anyone living in the Southern Arizona area.

Great surgeon!! Very structured after care. Reviewed all the risks prior to surgery.

rnrnDr Patrick ChiassonrnI attended a seminar with Dr Patrick Chiasson on Wednesday 04/28/2008 & wow was I impressed with his wisdom as well as his knowledge. I had my first consultation on April 29th after emailing Dr Chiassons website on April 27th explaining my previously canceled surgery & my devastation surrounding the sudden cancellation.His assistant Boo phoned me the next day to set up an appointment & an invitation to the seminar the following evening. His office staff especially Boo & his receptionist were so kind & pleasant . They even made arrangements for me to visit the resident Nutritionist that very day knowing that I live 200 miles from the office to save us another trip to Tucson.rnI had my RNY completed on August 13 2008 & I would recommend Dr Chiasson to anyone . He is so kind & understanding but also stern where it comes to following the rules .He also has a great sense of humor !! His bedside manner is impeccable . He has completed 100's of weight loss surgeries so he knows excactly what to expect of his patients.
