Topic: RE: Success depending on dr?

As a nurse, I feel like patient outcomes can always be contributed, in some degree, to the skill of the surgeon.  That is why I chose Dr. Alvarez. He has the distinction of Bariatric Surgeon of Excellence, which is only given to 11 surgeons worldwide.  I would definitely pay attention to reviews.

Topic: Success depending on dr?

I am leaving towards Dr Quinones for the sleeve surgery. I feel like I don't see a lot of before and after a posted on his sites. Does anyone feel like some surgeons patients are more successful because of the "good job" their surgeon did in the procedure? Or am I crazy to wonder that?

I am having surgery w/ Dr Q on 5/30/16.  I'm just finishing up my first week of the pre op diet and it isn't as hard as I thought it would be.  The coordinator suggested putting some taco seasoning in my cottage cheese & I love it..

I had surgery with Dr Quinoes on the 9th of this month. I know a few people that have went with him as well I have never heard anything bad about him. He treated me with such care it was unbelievable I think I had better care then I have ever had in the states. His coordinator was always willing to take my calls at any time of the day or nite.  If she was busy she would call me right back. I as well have in house financing and was so easy to apply for.

I hope this can give you as little in sight and good luck on your dissension.

Just follow you pre op to a T. You will be just fine the first day are hard due to head hunger but it will go away before you know it. Hope that everything works for you I had a really good experience with my doctor and had surgery in Mexico In Pompeii surgical.

Doctor Quinones was a great guy and very helpful to all my questions. He treated me like fam and the nurses were always their to see if I needed anything.

I had surgery in Mexico with Dr. Fernando Garcia back in October 2014, so I have been trolling the boards for a couple of years now.  I have heard many good things about Dr. Q and can't recall anything negative.  Whomever you choose, good luck to you.

Topic: Dr Q (Quinones)

Hi! I'm new here.. I am looking into having surgery in Mexico as my insurance will not help here in the states. Has anyone used or heard good or bad things about Dr Q? A friend of mine had WLS done by Dr Joya, but I cannot acquire a loan- Dr Q has in house financing. I'm just wanting to get some insight! Thank you!
