Eufrocino Martinez Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

He is WONDERFUL, I couldn't have asked for a better person. He made me feel really comfertable and let me know everything was going to be alright. I told me EVERYTHING, including all the risks, but let me know the small percentage of the risks. I was not scared at all, I couldn't wait. He is amazing, my scar is so small!!!

Right now I haven't been to norwslk yet to meet the doctor.But Mailyn, the lady that is handling my case is very nice.She gave me the too-free number to call her anytime if I have any questions. She is helping me with all paperwork and the time off from my job.What ever I need she is seeing to it happening.
They are going to pick me up from the airport and take me to the hotel and transfer me back and forth and take care of me until after the surgery and I am on the plan back to Vegas.

I first met Dr. Martinez when he came to Las Vegas to attend a monthly support group for his patients. I found him to be honest, sincere, and extremely approachable. The next meeting was when I went to Coast Plaza Hospital in Norwalk, CA for an EGD to check the size of my pouch (I am having a revision from a silastic ring gastroplasty in 1995). He reassured me when my anxiety kicked in. He is open with his patients and makes you KNOW he truly cares and understands the dynamics of MO. He is outgoing and witty as well. Great personality for such a wonderful surgeon.

I've spoken to many of his office staff, but primarily with Jana the miracle angel. She is so caring and sincere that you feel even the first time you speak to her that you know she loves what shes does.

Future patients should know that if they put their lives in Dr. Martinez's hands, they will be well cared for. After my previous WLS, there was absolutely NO AFTERCARE. With Dr. Martinez the aftercare is indefinite. He requires regular check ups and comes to our town to attend the support groups (I've been to 2 and am very pleased).

Dr. Martinez has addressed the additional risks of a revision and explained what they are. He is very thorough in his pre-op testing, including an upper GI and EGD.

He has an awesome bedside manner. After my experience with 2 other bariatric surgeons, I can vouch for the fact that he is like no other. One of the "other" surgeons is "mean" and seems to enjoy making his patients cry. The other, I never spoke to after I was released from the hospital.

Unfortunately, because my WLS is a revision and I live in another city & state, Dr. Martinez would not perform the surgery until I agreed to stay in town for 10-14 days post op. The added financial burden is going to be tough. I balance this by reminding myself he is only looking out for my best interest. The chances of a leakage are far greater in a revision.

Dr. Martinez has been doing this since the 70's when he was an intern. He really knows what he's doing. He is very kind and understanding.

Immediately I knew that if I was going to have this procedure done, that it would be him and only him to perform it on me.

Overtime my impression didn't change much because I was already comfortable with him doing the procedure, but during the initial consultation he was patient and understanding about all my concerns.

The office staff were absolutely great! They handled everything and fought for me with my insurance company.

There is only thing I don't like about Dr. Martinez is that he only sees patients for follow up care on Wednesdays.

They team stress very heavily about aftercare and has a thick pamphlet of structured aftercare and dietary needs that you go over fully BEFORE the procedure.

I would rate him a 9!

Dr. Martinez was very sweet, and very understanding! I highly reccomend him to anyone! His office staff like Jenna, is so sweet and nice. They really make you feel comfortable. He explained every WLS surgery there was, its risks, the healing, he left nothing out. I would defiantely give him a 10!

Super great guy. Very warm and personalble. I just got back from a Luau he thru in Ca. for all of his patients.
Hid office staff is very devoted to fighting Ins. companies on your behalf.
I could call Dr. Martinez at any time and within 10 minutes he has called me back. I like the fact that Im not a number, Im a person with him.
Since I don't live in Ca. I don't have an aftercare program.
I would rate thid man on a scale of 9 out of 10 cuz no one is perfect.
