After reading so many glowing reports about Dr M, I thought there was no way he could live up to the hype. I was amazed that he did! He is the most caring, sincere, intelligent doctor I've ever had. Everything about my experience with Dr Marchesini, Brazil and Hospital Santa Cruz could not have been better!

1/21/06 - We are now looking at the self-pay -- unless my attorney can perform a miracle before we leave, we are planning on going to Brazil in April 2006 for surgery.

12/10/05 - Since my first choice surgeon (Dr Snyder) doesn't perform the DS, I'm hoping to go with Dr. Anthone. I haven't met with him but spoke with him on the phone. He was very nice, informative and patient. He called me back after I sent him an e-mail with a few questions. Very nice.
