    I live in the Vegas area (Henderson) but went to Dr Aceves in Mexicali for my surgery. I'm a self-pay so to go to a surgeon who has done more than 1500 sleeves for 1/3 the price was a no-brainer for me. It was an excellent experience.

    I also had my surgery by Dr Umbach on March 8, 2013. I live overseas so I don't have any contact with the office except via email. I thought Dr Umbach was a great surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. Actually, I have a few of my friends are having surgery with him soon.
