Hi all I'm from the central valley (Modesto area) and an looking for a great doctor....anyone in the area have any recommendations? Greatly appreciated!

Anyone?

I am in Sac and pre-op. I have researched several surgeons. If my insurance covered it, I would go to Dr. Cirangle in SF or Dr. Jossart in Novato. My insurance originally sent me to a surgeon who has never performed a sleeve- if I wanted RnY, he's the man. So now I have switched to Dr. Eslami. He's in S. Sac and very enthusiastic that sleeve will become the new standard in WLS vs. RnY in a few years. Good luck.

Hi, I'm new to the site, just 3wks post-op, and in Sac area. I did lots of research and felt very comfortable at UCDavis Med Center with Dr. Ali. UCDMC is gold standard in these surgeries and have fellows, which mean they train other surgeons to become bariatric surgeons! I was very nervous, but the bariatric clinic has so much support from step one. I ended up visiting the support group at the clinic a few times before surgery. Maybe you should visit the support groups before making a decision.
