"Dr. Aceves is AMAZING! I have never met a surgeon in the states with that much class! His incredible first impression lasted all three days in the hospital. His office staff is just as wonderful. I was never alone or worried about a thing. I don't have anything I didn't like about Dr. Aceves. If you are a future patient, be prepared to be impressed. He was very clear about aftercare and I have received several emails already. You are send home with lots of reading material about how to care for your sleeve and all the information about your surgery including the surgery report and swallow x-rays to give to your primary care physician. He could have addressed the risks of surgery more and been more in detail about them. Overall he is excellent. Since I was out of surgery in 59 minutes and there were no leaks I will rate his surgical competence as better since bedside manner won't keep you alive. "
