"I felt the nursing staff still had much to learn about the dietary needs of bariatric patients however they were currently in training. They were in the process of changing their bariatric food program in the hospital and educating the staff. I felt the hospital was doing and excellent job in meeting the increasing demand for bariatric surgery patients."
"I found him very informative and professional. When I attended the informational meeting prior to choosing a surgeon, he was the surgeon to discuss the surgical procedure and answer any questions that people had. He has worked with patients with my spinal condition and has great success in treating them. I also find great comfort in knowing he has not lost any patients that he has done surgery on... not even after surgery.
Dr. Coirin works with Dr. Coates whom is also a wonderful surgeon. Their office staff is VERY knowledgeable and very very friendly. Dr. Coates also has not lost any patients with this surgery and they have performed thousands of surgeries. I think they make a great team of surgeons for the WLS center. They do emphasize the risks involved and go over anything that concerns me. I had already done a lot of my research so I had minimal questions for Dr. Coirin.
I will learn more though once I get my final surgery approval and go to the dietician and learn the specifics of aftercare. I have already learned about some of it but I know I have more to go over once my surgery date is set."
