Elmer Valin
"My first impression of Dr. Valin was young, smart, knows WLS surgery. The second time I met with him, he impressed me as very knowledable about WLS and also very patient and caring. A friend and myself peppered him with questions, he answered each one honestly, with a great deal of expertise and never rushed us. He treated us with respect and a great deal of professionalism. My hospital experience with Dr. Valin only confirmed what I had recently come to believe about him. He saw me twice a day, he was very caring and warm before I went into surgery, and answered my every question. He took care of my every medical need in the hospital. Thank you Dr. Valin. Cecile runs his office,she's right on top of everything and was very patient with my daily calls. She's very busy and takes time for us all. Cecile was instrumental in getting insurance clearance for me and always fitting me in. I'm grateful Cecile. Dr. Valin spoke of the risks with me as well as Mark Gaynor, the psychologist I saw on Dr. Valin's team. I made sure I read and reread everything I could find. I got great advise from Lori in West Hartford, she said something like don't be scared, just be aware. I was rolled into surgery knowing I was aware. Thanks Lori! Dr. Valin's strength is surgical competence with bedside manner coming in second. I think that's the perfect combination for a great surgeon. I would rate him an 8."
