Liza Maria Pompa Gonzalez

"The Surgeon and her staff were great. Once in Mexico and in the clinic I had to wait about an hour to see the surgeon because she was doing another procedure. rnrnThe internist, Dr. Thomas and the nurse came in to take out some blood but my veins were hiding from them I told them which ones to use and they actually listened. rnrnThen came in the cardiologist to checkout the lungs and heart beat. Later came in the candy man as he called himself (anesthesiologist). He sat down with my record and went over every operation I had, stents, heart problem and diabetes. Very nice guy, loved him. rnrnLater came in the Dr. Thomas and the nurse again and did EKG. The machine is a little old for my taste but worked great.rnrnDr. Pompa came in a while later. She is tiny, pretty and young. She introduced herself and asked if I had any questions. I just had one about my medication. My main concern was the heart. All I thought was I am going to make it so in the moment didn't ask what she was going to do with me. rnrnDr. Pompa explained the procedure and said she was waiting for my blood results this would tell her what medication I was going to need. Since I take Plavix and aspirin my blood is like water.rnrnEverything went well. The staff was amazing. I felt a little discomfort and they took care of me. Dr. Alex the night doctor would come in and check on me about 3 times a night. Tucked me in several times and made sure I had TV remote incase I woke up and wanted to watch something. She gave me all my drugs at night and encouraged me. She showed my husband to his room which was in the hospital; he did not need to stay in the hotel.rnrnDr. Thomas the morning doctor was great. He was very patient with getting me grossed out at my scars and when pulling the drain he was delicate. After the drain was pulled, I was complaining of pain he asked if I needed some pain killers. I told him no because I know that I am wuss and can’t stand pain. He laughed at me. He then explained how the operation was done; the diet to follow it strictly, gave me my folder and went page by page. Dr. Thomas was also very encouraging on my weight loss; he said that now I was going to look like a Barbie. rnrnDr. Pompa came in to check on me and the last day she went over the rules; very strict. Made sure I understood everything, she gave us her direct cell phone number if we could not get in touch with the staff. rnrnThe whole stay was great. I would go to LIMARP in heart beat. From the first phone call I made inquiring about LIMARP to my last visit with them was great. They are very friendly, informative and caring; they made sure my husband was taken care of as well.rn"
