Dr. Krahn was one of three that did my gastric bypass in 2013 . I started at a weight of 767#. I have lost over 500 pounds. Dr. Khrahns staff as well as he and the other staff members are there for you if you need help before , during, or after your surgery. They saved my life.
I am so grateful to Dr Krahn and all his staff. I am 13 month out from surgery and they have been nothing less than amazing. Always being available for questions, taking extra time to make me feel comfortable, and always listening to my concerns regardless what test showed. It's been a crazy 13 months but I wouldn't be where I am without the help of Dr Krahn, Dr Chin, Brooke, Heidi, Steph and Jennifer. Thank you all for what you do!! What a wonderful group of people.
I love the staff at Western bariatrics. Dr krahn is very nice makes you feel at ease and after care is awesome.the surgery went well . I didn't have any complications. I did what the Dr told me and healed nicely
Dr. Krahn is a great doctor his clinic is clean and his staff is wonderful he has a very high successful rate of surgerys and weight loss i would recommend him to anyone
My surgery was one of the best things I have done. I had extreme high blood pressure, taking 5 different meds and still not in control. I also had sugar diabetes. After surgery everything is gone. It has been 2 1/2 months now I have lost 55 lbs. And about 85 to go. I take one day at a time. I love the team my Doctor has. My Doctor is Dr. Krahn, a wonderful Doctor. Brooke his right hand.
Dr. Krahn saved my life , I used weight at 386 pounds now I weigh at 190 pounds. He is a good great doctor. And I feel better I had the surgery 2014 on February 18th and it been two years since his surgery thank you dr. Krahn. And dr. Chin that did the surgery at the time of my surgery. Dr. Chin is dr.Krahn assistant doctor. Because of that I could do more things since my weight loss surgery. Love your favorite patient Amy Alvina Lee. From Highland California
I have not yet had my surgery tho I have met Dr krahn and he is a very nice man, and I've heard nothing but good stories.. can't wait to start my new chapter of life.
Dr Krahn and Dr. Chin are absolutely amazing in every way you would want a surgeon to be. They are sweet, compassionate and very knowledgeable. There staff is the best too. I call them my girls. I love Paulina, and Jen. Those two girls helped my surgery along in only 2 months. When have you ever heard of that? I love this office. The staff is not only knowledgeable, but fun loving and understanding. Thanks to all of you who have made my experience a wonderful one. I'm 1 month out and I've already lost 31 lbs.
As someone who has been overweight all of her life, making the decision to have bariatric surgery was not made lightly (no pun intended). I had tried every diet imaginable and failed at all of them. I met Dr. Krahn and his new patient coordinator, Jennifer at a weight loss support group. I instantly felt comfortable with both of them and knew that I wanted to pursue surgery and wanted Dr. Krahn to do it. The staff walked me through every pre operative phase and explained everything I would need to do. Before I knew it, I had a surgery date. I am so thankful that I had no complications and have steadily lost weight. Soon I will be celebrating my 1 year "surgiversary" and I am so thankful to leaving the overweight version of myself behind me. I am so excited to see what the future holds for me. Many thanks to Dr. Krahn and his staff at Western Bariatrics!!
