"I had surgery on May 14, 2010 with Dr. Alvarez and the experience was great. He is fluent in English and does not even have an accent. I currently live in Brazil and thought about having the surgery here but the price difference was too great. I could fly from Brazil to Texas and have the surgery and it was still cheaper than Brazil. Dr. Alvarez is very professional and has a great staff. I have not had any problems other than the normal pains of having major surgery but if I did Dr. Alvarez made it clear that I can email him or his nurse Susan at any time for questions. I discussed with Dr. Alvarez my bougie size and we both decided on a size 40 would be good for me as a active male. On my trip there was a lady from Tennessee that had the surgery two years ago and was bringing her mother to have the surgery. Talking with her made me feel comfortable and the fact that she was bringing her mother there for surgery was a good sign. There is no problem having surgery in Mexico especial if it's with Dr. Alvarez! "
