Hi vicki, it's a pleasure to say hi. I will be more than happy to schedule a phone, Skype or facetime consultation to answer all your questions.

Hi Vicki, Dr. Illan did my mini gastric surgery and has provide support since surgery. He is so nice and caring you could not find a finer surgeon. He will answer any questions or concerns

you have and follow up when he needs. I would not trust my surgery to anyone except Dr. Illan.

Hi Vicki, I had mini gastric bypass with Dr. Illan. Before my surgery, he came in and let me know that I am family and he and the surgical staff will take care of me. He has answered any and all questions I have had and I know he will continue to check up on me. He is definitely the best choice I could have made. He definitely cares and he does a fantastic job. I have seen the video of my surgery. He operates with great attention to detail. I couldn't be happier with my surgery or my recovery.

I just returned from having my VSG with Dr. Illan. He Is AMAZING! I have tiny little incisions and I have had no pain.

You can't go wrong by choosing the BariatricPal MX Team to coordinate for you. They took such great care of us.
