Surgeon Testimonial

Alfonso Torquati M.D.
I am pleased so far with Dr. Torquati. His staff is wonderful. He went over the risks of the surgery and answered all of my questions without trying to rush me out of the room. I even asked him if he was a praying man and a Christian and he assured me his was. While bedside manner is important to me, I feel like Surgical competence is the most important characteristic when searching for a doctor and I believe Dr. Torquati knows what he's doing. I am very at peace with him being the doctor that God uses to perform this surgery on me. I believe he is Italian, and some may think he is hard to understand, but I didn't have a problem understanding him.

APRIL 2006
So sorry I didn't get back on my one month post-op date.  I ended up back in the hospital that morning.  I was having severe nausea and vomitting.  Turns out I had a stricture.  Email me if you'd like to know what that is.  They had to go in through my throat and dialate my opening to my new pouch.  I went in through the ER and ended up staying in the ER all that day and part of the next day as there again were no beds!  I felt better immediately after the procedure and went home the day after I went there.  Brian is doing great..no complications.  Hugs, Donna (2 Kings 20:5)
