"My first impression of Dr Cobean was a pretty good one. I first met him at a support group meeting, and he was so clear explaining the surgery, answering questions, and generally relating with the people in the room in a very positive manner. Having had several appointments with him, my impression is only getting better. His credentials are top notch, and he really cares about his patients.
The staff at the new Bariatric Center in South Portland are fantastic! Always available for questions, and guidance. The whole program he has helped to build is fantastic. You are basically a patient for life, with regular appointments the first 2 years and then yearly check-ups to make sure you are not gaining weight.
Dr Cobean made sure you really understood all of the problems that could stem from the surgery. He wants his patients to be able to make an educated decision to have this surgery. He is fun, easy to talk to, clear and kind. You can check his website at cascobaysurgery.com .
Every experience I have had with the support group, the Bariatric Center and Dr Cobean have been very positive. If I had anything negative to say, it would be that it can be a little uncomfortable talking to a Social Worker about all your innermost 'stuff' during your initial appointment when you don't have a connection with this person yet, BUT I understand the need to meet and be evaluated by every member of Dr Cobean's team."
