Doctor in Inland Empire Area (CA)



Recommended Posts

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!

I recommend Dr. Douglas Krahn of Western Bariatric. He is fantastic. His staff is also great!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
