Surgeon Testimonial

Joao Marchesini, M.D.
I'm back to square one. I'm being laid off, which changes everything. Instead of waiting twelve months for insurance approval under COBRA (due to insurance-required diet monitoring), risk battling a NEW insurance company over coverage, or wait a year for FMLA to kick in again, I've decided to go ahead and self-pay while I'm unemployed.

I've decided to go with Dr Marchesini in Brazil. I like him for several reasons - he's very polite in his emails, he answered my questions, and addressed problems he foresaw from my emails, wanting to confirm whether or not I was ready for surgery. He didn't just rush into it, but took the time to make sure I was prepared.

    HAPPY 1st SWITCH-I-VERSARY, BT ... I hope you're as proud of yourself as WE are of you. You've been a stellar student who has in many ways surpassed her teachers. You've grown in many more ways than you've shrunk -- and that's a heck of a lot. And as far as the other horizons you wish to explore, you may need to go outside your comfort zone but it's all within your reach ... A year from today you'll be posting about this and having realized many of your wildest dreams. {{{HUGS}}}
