"My first impression of Dr. Sliva was good.rnI had a close friend and few folks I know that have had either VSG or Bypass performedrnby him. So, he came highly recommended andrnthe compliments were great!rnrnMy impression of Dr. Silva never changed. I just which he would have come to visit me in rnthe hospital. Yet, his partners came and were very attentive and concerned. They arerna great team of qualified and professional dr's. rnrnThe office staff was good. In the end they handled all my paperwork professionally. rnrnDr. Silva is one of the most caring Dr's besides my PCP who just makes you feel comfortable and he gets the job done!rnrnWell, I'm going to my first two week soon.rnHe supplied great information, but I will bernable to expound more on aftercare in the future.rnrnThe only structured aftercare I know of is the occasional checkup with surgeron. I have a wonderful PCP who has called me and spentrna significant amount of time checking up on me. So, as long as I get Dr. Silva's scheduled checkup appts. I should have any problems.rnrnNow, I was very well informed when I went in the office and was so eager to get things started. I don't know if he had to spend a lot of time with the risksrnof surgery. I was so eager to get sleeved! I did that on my surgery date, upon getting ready to sign some consents forms, I was startled by a least one question. Again, I was very well informed and over zealous. So, maybe certain things that were told to me briefly , I didn't really comprehend everything. It happens to the best!rnrnOverall, I would recommend Dr.Silva to anyone wanting to have this surgery. Hisrnsurgical competence was excellent, rememberrnI studied him out tooth and nail. Like I said, he has a marvelous team that are readily there to care for yournmatter what. You can rest assure through thernGrace of God and experience and concern ofrnDr. Silva you will be ok.rnrnPeace"
