  1. I had my surgery with Dr Rod and Dr Elmo at Star Medica too.. and it was a great experience the staff is nice and the DR's are great.. you will be greated probably by Dr Calderon and taken to your room.. the rooms are like a hotel except you do have a hospital type bed.. They also keep it very clean.. you will not regret it. if you have any questions send me a message.
