"When I first met Dr. Lara he was very professional and very compassionate about helping those who are suffering with obesity. I met him at a seminar when he came to Albuquerque in April 2006. He was also accompained with his medical partner, Dr. Jorge Acosta. After the seminar, both doctors had confirmed my decision on wanting to schedule bariatric surgery by the end of the summer. The doctor's office at Del Sol Bariatric Center was warm and inviting. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They are all very professional yet personable. Future patients will be happy with their doctor appointment, I haven't heard of any complaints, every person that comes in always has a smile. One can ask tons of questions to all staff and doctors and you will be given an answer and more. They encourage you to ask questions, and they always ask if you have any concerns. The aftercare for me was long distance from Albuquerque to El Paso, but I could call anytime or email and get response as soon as possible. They come to ABQ every 4-6 weeks and I come to meet the doctors, nutritionist, and RN. They are like family to me. rnBefore the surgery, the doctor does address all last minute questions, and the risks of the surgery. I highly rate them a \"10!\" rnAll areas of contemplating bariatric surgery will be covered via questions, pictures, testimonies, and once you begin the initial consultation to the day of the surgery one will be happy and taken care of with care and professionalism. I am happy that I will have Dr. Lara as my doctor for life, and Del Sol Bariatric Center as my favorite place to go to address my health and weight issues."
