Endohospital Bariatric Center

I haven't met Dr. A yet, but thats ok because susuan his coordinator has been by my side for such a long time. I cant wait to have my surgery on Thanksgiving 2008

Dr. Alvarez is a warm man with excellent bed side manner...He's an excellent surgeon and I could't be happier that I chose him!

El doctor Alvarez ha sido uno de los doctores mas amables que he tenido en mi vida. Muy profesionalmente, me explico todo el procedimiento de la operacion, nunca tuve duda de su capacidad como cirugano y despues de casi 8 meses de mi operacion puedo decir que pondria mi vida en sus manos en cualquier momento con la misma confianza con que lo hice la primera vez. Todo el personal del hospital me atendio muy bien, siempre respondieron a mi llamado con una sonrisa y dispuestas a ayudarme. Para mi El Dr alvarez es el mejor cuando a la operacion vsg se refiere.

Dr. Guillermo Alvarez is great!! He truly treats you as if you are his only patient. He is very attentive to your needs and takes care of whatever it is. His team or staff is exceptional, they are so sweet and it was great getting to know them. I have nothing bad to say about Dr. A, he is even really good looking!!! I give him a A++++++!!!!!

I have nothing bad to say about the surgeon. He was very patient with me, and that is not an easy thing. He has excellent bedside manner and he didn't kill me.rnrnI wish that there would have been an English speaking nurse at night and that I would have gotten one of the newer rooms. But neither of those affected my treatment or actual surgical experience. I would have been in just as much post-op pain in a new room. :)rnrnAnd yeah, he is pretty cute and he smells nice.

I had a wonderful experience, I read and then reread everything I received from Susan and then talked extensively with Dr. A and Dr. R, everything for me was text book perfect. rnrnDr Alvarez did a great job on Me!rnrnI was able to resume my normal activities on Thursday. My surgery was Monday! To me the experience went so well at times I thought I was dreaming. The hospital was charming, the nurses very professional. Know about 8 words in Mexician, but NO troubles communicating with the night nurses at all. rnrnThe only problem I had was my IV did infiltrate and had to be removed, but since it was 7:30 the next day, I did not have to have it redone. rnrnI would recommend Dr. A Mexico to others in my situation - where no insurance coverage for the VSG.

My first impression of Dr Alvarez was that he seems to be a very genuine and compassionate soul that loves helping others gain a new lease on life. He had a very positive and calming energy. I knew that I was in very good hands. His office was very nice as well as his staff. I felt very informed going into my surgery. He checked in on me several times a day during my stay, and gave very thorough post op teaching. He made sure that we knew that he considers his patients \"family\" and that he encouraged contact during recovery and afterwards.He let us know that we could call anytime that we wished to speak to him. I have nothing but praise regarding my care.

I think he and his staff are the best you could ever ask for! Everything about my experience there was PERFECT! I would do again just to get to see them all! Dr.Alvarez is #1 in my book!!

Dr. Alvarez was professional, personal and very compassionate. He takes the time with you and answers all pre/during/post surgery questions you and your people can think of! His transportation coordinator Rosie is friendly, caring, and a whole bunch of fun and she really sets a positive tone for your trip. The first contact you get is Susan, his patient care coordinator and she is TOTALLY GREAT. Talk about your 3 in the morning emails and questions. She never makes me feel stupid and has made it clear via her 3 post-trip contacts that she is not going anywhere. Dr. Alvarez has taken all aspects of the surgery into consideration and is open and honest with the surgery and the entire process. His surgical competence (I had massive scar tissue he had to get through and a hernia) and his bedside manner are top notch.

I had my surgery on 9/5/09. After reading all the other testimonials and doing tons of research I wasn't nervous about going to Mexico. But even if I had been, once I got there all fears would have vanished. Dr. Alvarez was comforting the moment I met with him. He answered all my questions and was so honest and gentle that I was completely at ease. The hospital was not new and shiny like those here in the US but it was cleaner than many I have been in here. The staff was wonderful and even though we had a language barrier, I never had any trouble getting what I needed. I never felt in danger in Mexico! This was an incredible experience! I am so grateful to Dr. Alvarez for providing this service. In the States it would have taken me years to save up the money but now I can start a new life with his help!
