Agusto Enrique Whittwell, M.D. Bariatrics Bariatric Center
Dr Whittwell is great. I knew that from the first time that I met him at our initial consult, and he is fortunate to have a great staff. These ladies are awesome, they even came to visit me at the hospital. Dr.Whittwell was totally honest with me from the start, he told me that the open procedure would be best for me, I went there with lap on my mind. Dr. whittwell told me all the facts in relation to open vs lap. I live in Key West and Dr. Whittwell is in Miami, which I thought might be a problem with the aftercare. No problem, Dr. Whittwell explained all the do's and don't's very clearly, and his staff accomodate my visits very nicely..
I highly recommend Dr Whittwell and his great staff to all.
I was referred to Dr. Whittwell by my primary care physican. He came highly recommended.
My first contact with his office was very pleasant. His assistant is the BEST! I got an appointment for a month later. In the meantime, I did all the other footwork like obtain the psych eval, the sleep study. Luckily I had an abdominal sonogram and an endoscopy performed about six weeks before, so I had everything ready by the time I met the surgeon.
They were very informative and very professional. He answered all my questions and explained all the pros and cons. His assistant was operated by him six weeks before so she was an excellent source of information and it made me very comfortable to hear first hand from someone who had recently been operated by him and was so proudly recommending him. At that visit, his assistant gave me a tentative date and told me that she would submit my information the next day. After 10 days, she called me to let me know I was APPROVED! I already had my date scheduled for October 28th, so everything went really fast.
Overall, I am very pleased with Dr. Whittwell and I feel confident that everything will be great.
