Guillermo Alvarez M.D. 1/13/07 - I haven't got to meet Dr. Alvarez in person yet - but if he anything like his employees - he is going to be the best. I will post more when I get back from my surgery.
1/25/07 - My first impression was even better than I had expected and I had HIGH expectations.
It only got more admirable over time. He was so attentive and went way above the call of duty to make sure we had a great experience.
The support staff that I was fortunate enough to get to meet were outstanding.
There was nothing about him I did not like. And I'm serious.
He is the best. I can't imagine trying to get one up on this man.
He has a fairly strict aftercare and expects you to adhere to it. This is extremely well laid out in written pages of aftercare instructions that you are given prior to your surgery so you will know what is expected of you.
He lists all the risks of the gastric sleeve.
Overall on a scale of 1 - 10 - I'd have to give this man at 25. He is totally awesome.
Both his bedside manner and his surgical competence are GREAT. Like I said earlier I had high expectations BEFORE I let him operate on me and I am even more impressed now that he has done my surgery.
Thank everyone for
the well wishes and
prayers. This group
is so GREAT. I know
all the concern and
caring will uphold
me through this
surgery and I'll
post on here as soon
as we get internet
and I feel like it.
We'll see which one
comes first!
