    I had my surgery with him on Sept 10th. He is absolutely a master at his craft. His nurses are very professional and no worries you will be well cared for. The wait for surgery must be tough though...

  • You have the patience of a saint... It feels like forever for me and I'm next month! Honestly though it would of made more sense financially to put it off for me but I'm very spontaneous!

Thanks

I had surgery with him on 8/31. I was doing absolutely phenomenal, and then one day I woke up with a few stomach pains, it kind of felt like my whole stomach was on fire. I waitied for it to go away, and when it was not gone the next day, I emailed him. He emailed me right back and asked me for the number where I could be reached right then. He had Dr. Velazco call me. It turned out I just had an over abundance of acid when I was first transitioning to "food". But I thought it was awesome that they will still take the time out to email and call even after you leave. i find that he and his staff are exceptional. Anyone going there will receive excellent care and definitely be in good hands.

Yes I know was very impressed that he called

Good to know he called you. It seems weird to only go through the coordinators. I am a little worried about my latex allergy, but I think I can wait to talk to him when I get there.

I would ask about it now just incase there is something you may need to bring with you that they don't have such as non-latex items ( I don't see that happening but I always take precautions when I can). :)
