"I had a great experience with Dr. Alvarez, and I would recommend him to anyone! My mom and I went down together at the end of May and had our sleeves done. He has done more sleeves than just about any other surgeon, and I could really tell that he knows what he is doing! The entire experience was like a well-oiled machine. Everything happened exactly like he said it would, there were no surprises. Next week I will be 4 months out and I have lost 61 pounds (2/3 of the way to my goal!). I could not be happier with my sleeve. His patient coordinator Susan is absolutely wonderful! I had a million questions before my surgery and she thoroughly and happily answered every single one of them. And as a sleeve patient herself, she speaks from experience. What also impressed me about Dr. Alvarez is that he was so easily reachable by email or phone for any questions I had post-op. He usually replied to my emails within an hour or two! You cannot get that kind of response from American surgeons! If I had the decision to make over again, I would not change a thing. Dr. Alvarez exceeded my expectations and I know I could still contact him if I had any issues or questions and he would be happy to talk to me. If anyone has any specific questions, I would be happy to answer them, just message me! Best of luck to everyone in decision-making mode! "
