"My first impression was that the doctor was nice but not the rave my niece led me to believe. However, that changed as our conversation progressed. He was very thorough and laid it on the line, that this was a life style change and not magic. It involved learning how to eat properly for maximum results. I also later found him to be very sensitive to my needs to the point that he even gave me a massage! He answerd all my questions and took time to make sure my daughter Charla,(who accompanied me) was there to hear everything. If she wasn't around he would talk to me and then come back to talk to her. The staff was very nice and friendly. There was really nothing that I did not like about the Dr. or his staff, to include the cleaning staff. My aftercare has been fine. Any questions I have are answered with-in a reasonable time through e-mail. I can call but prefer e-mail. The aftercare program involves how to care for you incisions, your diet, pain medication, nexium, and all of you medical records for you doctor at home. I really don't recall talking about the risk of the surgery. On a 1 - 10 scale, I would rate Dr. Aceves a 10. This last question is a no brainer. Of course surgical compentence is most important. But in order to have an excellent experience in such a trying time you need both competence and a good bedside manner! "
"Dr. Aceves and Compose were very attentive. They came to see me twice a day and Dr. Aceves even gave me a massage. That would never happen state side! I was very pleased, they accommodated me and my daughter, who traveled with me. Everyone did not speak English but there was no problem communicating my want, questions and needs. Dr. Aceves is the surgeon to have perform your surgery needs."
