"I never planned to go to Mexico for surgery. I had every intention of using a Houston-based bariatric surgeon until I went to a seminar and asked them how many gastric sleeves they had performed. Their answer? 30-100. That's when I started looking elsewhere and decided on Dr. Alvarez. His experience with the sleeve was the basis for my decision. The fact that I would save money was just a bonus. Susan the coordinator kept in touch with me throughout the planning process, and I've heard from her 3 times since I've been home- very impressive. On the day of surgery, Rosie the driver picked us up in Eagle Pass it only took about 15 minutes to get Dr. Alvarez. Dr. Alvarez's nurse speaks great English and is readily available post-surgery. Everybody was very attentive and not rushing when talking to me. I really have nothing negative to say at all!"
