mommyof5 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Hi Everyone, I just recently was approved for my consultation appt. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good doctor in the San Bernardino area? Maybe you or someone you knew has had experience with someone I can get an idea of what to expect with them. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gigee 0 Posted April 7, 2008 I recommend Dr. Douglas Krahn of Western Bariatric. He is fantastic. His staff is also great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makenzie872002 0 Posted July 2, 2008 My mother and I have both seen Dr John Coon in Riverside. We both just love him. He is so kind and takes the time to listen and answer our questions. He never rushes us. Before my appointment I went to his support group at Parkview and met many of his patients that have had surgery and they have been so supportive and helpful. I really would recommend Dr Coon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mommyof5 0 Posted July 2, 2008 No, I missed the last one. I got mixed up on the day. I know, I was hoping to have mine done before my husband gets back from his deployment. Good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carolyn82541 0 Posted July 7, 2008 Hi. I am very excited because I got my surgery date with Dr John Coon for next month. Dr Coon is in Riverside and Rancho Cucamonga and I really recommend him if you are looking for a doctor in the Inland Empire. He will do my surgery at Parkview Community Hospital. I keep you posted about my progress after surgery. Until then I am reading all the information Dr Coon gave me. I have my final pre-op visit next week and will meet with the dietician. Wow! finally everything is happening and I an sooooooooo ready! I just love DR Coon and his staff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
di1138 8 Posted July 7, 2008 Even though I live in the high desert I am going to LA for my surgery. Dr Carson Liu is supposed to be one of the best in the country. I have talked to several of his patients and they are very happy with him. I just dont look forward to the ride every time I need a fill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m&nsmama 0 Posted September 16, 2008 Hi, I'm wondering if everyone is still happy with Dr. Coon? I was denied by my insurance for surgery with Dr. Liu. Any input would be greatly appreciated. :tt1: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mgirl 0 Posted November 28, 2008 I live close to Riverside but my insurance would only allow me to go through a doctor in Orange County. Are there any support groups in the riverside area? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
