Oregon Doctor's?

[VelvetKiss 0]

I am new to the forum and I live in Southern Oregon and I was wondering about Oregon Doctor's that perform the Lap Band? I was looking into Dr. Raul Mirande and he seems good but I wanted to know if anyone has used him or knows of other good Dr's in Oregon.

There is a great doctor in Coos Bay, Oregon Steven Tersigni M.D. Their

staff is wonderful. I had my surgery 9-12-05.

Thanks Nettieb, Does he have a website or where can I find information on him?

I don't think he has a website. I just checked to make sure he was board certified and then called his office and asked questions. He is a general surgeon at the North Bend Medical Center in Coos Bay. Both myself and my sister had Dr Tersigni do our surgeries.

My sister had a gastric bypass and I had the band. We are both doing wonderful. I'll ask my sis if she has anymore information.

Thanks again! I will have to call his office and get info on the Lap Band, that is the surgery I am considering. I appreciate all the help!
