I have read the past thread about Dr. Altamirano and I’ve read the article about the BP not being affiliated or recommending him anymore. I also read the articles about the gentleman passing after surgery, admittedly, it is scary and heartbreaking. There were statements about Dr. Altamirano leaving needles and sponges inside patients, are these instances confirmed or just rumor? I will admit that my experience with Dr A has been prompt and pleasing so far. My surgery is scheduled for September so any information I can get, either way, would be greatly appreciated.

*Edit*

I have also been bombarded with positive reviews about him. That being said, please don’t approach this as if I am 100% convinced either way. I am fishing for information, no matter if it’s positive or negative.

Thank you very much. I received your email as well. I will start my research on Dr. Illan
