"I had him for my second opinion so he was already familiar with my story as he had read it from the previous surgeon. But he came in and told me to tell him my story anyway. And why I wanted a second opinion. So I did. His secretary Rebecca is WONDERFUL too!"
"Dr. Coates is a very wonderful surgeon! I only met him on the day of my surgery. I saw his PA's the other times. They are wonderful as well! They all have a great bedside manner. They seem truely interested in helping the Morbidly Obese patients that they see. They also have quite a bit of compassion! His office staff is bad about calling people back when they say but I'm sure they will be working on that!"
