"I was very impressed with his reputation and his gentleness. He is in Chicago training the doctors there how to do RNY Micropouch surgery and he really knows his stuff!!Cori Centers has been around a long time, but mostly in New York and Michigan. But they are spreading more nationwide. They developed the RNY Micropouch which is now considered the GOLD standard in Bariatric surgery.
I was the first one that has ever asked if he was gentile with our insides. He laughed and said that that is necessary so we aren't any more sore than we will already be from surgery.
His staff, Jill, has had RNY and totally understands my concerns and they answer any questions immediately. Aftercare is highly emphasized and we talked a lot about it and I was given a complete book to take home with all information in it that I could ever possibly need.
He has done over 2500 micropouch surgeries and is very skilled. He discussed all risks and explained everything.
He does have a structured aftercare program and sees his patients 4 times during the first year. He will see you more if you need it. He also has long distance patients and works with their PCP's.
The hospital they use in Chicago is really nice and it is small, which I like.
I didn't experience anything negative in my consult or with the way they handled everything for me. And since I was traveling away from home to do everything, they set up my appointments for me. I have a personal rep that handles everything. Theresa Johnson.
So far, I have nothing negative to say about him or his staff. I will re post after surgery and update then."
