Guillermo Alvarez

"I had my surgery with Dr Alvarez on December 20th. We were running late due to one of the patients having a delayed flight that morning so when we drove up Dr Alvarez was standing at the door and walked up to the van to greet us. It was almost like meeting an old friend. He helped me with my luggage and then assigned us rooms. He then went to each patient and answered any questions we had and never made you feel rushed. I was second because he does the surgeries according to BMI's and i was so excited when he came to my room and told me I was next. When I awoke I was sooooooo sleepy but not in any pain whatsoever. I told the dr I thought they just put me out and woke me back up again LOL. I had no complications whatsover from the surgery and feel that Dr Alvarez is very competent and his bedside manner is excellent not to mention he is the best looking surgeon I have ever had. He comes and checks on you several times a day and his nurse Priscilla who is bilingual is so sweet. The hospital is much older than we are accustomed to in the United States but the staff is very caring. They dont speak english but my daughter who is fluent in spanish was able to translate. All in all it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end including working with Susan who is extremely helpful in answereing pre and post op questions to riding with Rosie the driver who got us back and forth safely. I would not hesitate to recommend the Dr and his staff to anyone that is considering the vertical sleeve. check out my profile for pictures of the experience as well as my blog."
