Haven't heard of Juarez, not that it means much. I seemed to keep hearing the same four names from most people I've asked. Felix, Swartz, Boone, & Higa all seem highly reccomended in Fresno.

Hi all my doctor was dr. Donald Waldrep (SALSA) in Roseville ,CA. Hospital affiliation is Sutter Medical Center in Roseville. I had me lapband with him 31/2 years ago and revision to RNY on 6/17/13 ,he is a great bariatric surgeon, his staff is also amazing they know how to get the ball rolling for you!!! Roseville is in Sacramento just north .

My Doctor is Dr Ben Shadle of Sacramento BMI. He is fantastic. He is very caring and has a great beside manner. I had zero complications from the surgery. His entire staff exhibits the same caring and supportive attitude. I was in the hospital 24 hrs after surgery. During that time all the key members of his staff visited me in the hospital. I strongly recommend him.

Here is a news article on Dr Shadle:
