Has anyone had or going to have surgery with Dr. Ortiz?

Dr Ortiz banded me last week. No problems...so far.

If you use the search function on "ortiz" you should get tons of testimonials, probably all positive.

The facility is top notch, the location is easy access from San Diego airport, everyone there were excellent.

I am going to get banded in November but not sure which doctor to use. I have been doing alot of research on Ortiz, but have a friend that has used Joya. She says he is great and was banded almost one year ago. The more I read, talk to people, etc...I am leaning more and more on Ortiz....

He was great, I was banded on August 12th. The doctors are all young and handsome too :smile2:

My only complaint is that the nurse blew a vein in my hand. Very painful...

My gf is getting banded there next monday. I've researched him a ton and have found very few negative comments: 1 or 2 complications (they admited were probably due to them not following the postop diet) and 1 or 2 about the facilities / transportation.

The 90-95% of what I read is glowing reports from people who were banded by him.
