I have booked with Christy from MBC also, and she has been very prompt at returning my emails with answers to all my questions. So far, I have been impressed.

I wouldn't use a coordinator when you can book directly with the surgeon, especially a surgeon as experienced and kind as Dr Kelly. When you use a coordinator you take things out of his hands.

MBC had an irate client when I was at florence. It's not just with the hospital switch. It's a shame they lie and say that site is his official site. They mostly use it to switch to cheaper Drs.

I hope all goes well. Kelly is great. MBC is just abit shady IMO. Too many bait and switches. What I don't understand is why wouldn't you book directly at the same price and get the better package that Doc Kelly gives you. Both packages are NOT the same! Anyways... good luck on your upcoming surgery.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! I was very close to paying my deposit with Dr. Valenzuela through MBC and you made me take a better look at Dr. Kelly as an option. I love the idea of a newer/ better equipped hospital and hotel, again thanks so much for sharing!

So... have you made a decision? Pick a great doctor, a respectable hospital and... most of the hotels are all similar. Good luck!

I went through MBC as well and wasn't too impressed. Although Christy answered several questions, I didn't receive an answer to some. They changed the hospital on me too. Dr Kelly never came by my hotel to do the last checkup. I'm happy I got my sleeve, but could have had a better experience altogether.

That's bull crap about changing hospitals... I agree. And people should understand that they are not hiring the doctor when booking through MBC. The Dr. is only doing what he gets paid for by MBC and if they book direct with Kelly they get the FULL MEAL DEAL. Thanks for the post.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
