Patient Coordinator
“I feel truly blessed in being a part of such a wonderful team, as OCC, and in helping patients achieve a healthier, longer, and happier way of life.” – Ora Herrera
Currently, as a Patient Care Coordinator for Obesity Control Center and The Ariel Center, Ora has the opportunity to guide patients in making an informed decision when choosing one of the surgery weight loss options the center delivers. She also has great pleasure in helping patients that have achieved a large amount of weight loss achieve the final step in a long journey by finding the best cosmetic surgical treatment to achieve a firm, fit look that lasts.
“My struggles with weight started as an adult. I, like many women, experienced weight gain with hormonal changes. I realized I needed to take command of the situation when I reached my highest weight, which was around 186 pounds. I had not realized how much weight I had gained as I did not regularly weigh myself, but quickly came to the realization that I needed to take hold of my weight gain to avoid potential health issues in the future."
I loved the experience as a patient at OCC, and thoroughly enjoy being able to help patients achieve their weight loss goals. Being a patient coordinator with obesity control center for almost 7 years has enriched my life by allowing me to witness, firsthand, the amazing life changing experiences of many patients, including patients who run a first marathon, getting pregnant for the first time in their lives after struggling for years, and saying goodbye to lifelong illnesses brought on by excess weight.”
