WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING…

I cannot say enough about Dr. Patching and his staff. When you meet him he tells you if he does your surgery then he is your surgeon for life.

He has changed my life for the best life ever. I have lost over 80lbs with the sleeve tool he gave me. This process really works if you follow what this man tells you, but please remember it is all up to you. I absolutely love, appreciate, respect and need he and his staff for the rest of my life.

This was by far one of the very best decisions I have ever made for myself. If you are obese you should consider seeking out either Dr.Patching or someone like him that will truly give you the gift of living again. He does the surgery but you MUST do the work!

I met Dr. Patching 2018 when my PCP referred me for a hernia consultation. During both visits with the doctor, I was very impressed with his kind nature & warm and generous personality. 

I've really never met a doctor that I liked almost instantly. And I certainly didn't feel that our time together was rushed or cut short in any way. 

Instead, I felt he gave me his full attention, and answered all of my questions. He explained the surgery in detail to me. 

I'm so thankful that I had a chance to work with Dr. Patching.

Dr. Patching and his staff were incredibly supportive. I was very unhappy and unhealthy with many bad habits. Thanks to Dr. Patching and his personal care, I learned that I matter and all the hard work and good choices I learn has helped me become happier and healthier.

I was afraid at first and I didn’t think my current weight required surgery. But for over 4 years I tried various diets. What I needed was to be educated on weight management. Which I believe I have mastered. I believe today the key to managing your weight is portion control.

With the surgery to help me get started, and portion control, I have lost over 70 lbs. my journey is not over, but my health has improved and the confidence in my self that I can maintain this way of life change. So, if you’re on the fence of a surgery, go into a bariatric doctor and get the true facts.

This surgery is life changing, therefore I chose the best surgeon in all of Northern California to put my life in his hands. Because of his expertise and skills in robotic surgery I have had virtually no pain post surgery. I am one week post op and have not even taken Tylenol. I have been impressed with the staff, Becky and Nadia, by thier warmth and care in making this entire weight loss journey a success. Dr. Patching, thank you for helping me change my quality of life for the better!
