Excellent first impression.
Impression only improved over time.
His office staff was knowledgeable and very very helpful.
There was nothing I didn't like about Dr. Aceves.
He is friendly, caring and gifted.
His whole approach is about the after care. The surgery is the no brainer part, you have to be willing to put in the effort after, he makes that very clear and he insists you stay in touch with his staff on your recovery. Very important.
He is a 10 out of 10, would not change anything about him.
He is attentive and visits you in the hospital multiple times during your stay. He is the most competent of any surgeon I have known (having had a major surgery every year since 2001, I would know.)
Bedside manner was amazing, truely rare to have both the skills and bedside manner, what a giften surgeon.
I do not receive any payment or benefit for this endorsement. This is truly first hand experience talking.
If my experience seems unreal, fault me for being a positive person then, instead of trying to find something wrong with Dr. Aceves.

The Dr. Aceves plan. All inclusive, professionally orcastrated and in a hospital long enough for you to be already on the road to better health before you are set free!
Where else do you see all your doctors twice a day? Where else so you have a nurse per patient? Where else is your room cleaned and mopped twice a day?

Doctor Aveces was gentle showing genuine concern over the slight cough I had from being off my allergy meds for surgery. He was always patient with questions, questions he must have answered many times before. His manner remained constant my entire stay.

Doctor’s medical team was professional of course, but also fun. Sergio has the best smile in his voice and took it all in stride when as anesthesia took over I told him Sergio is an Italian name and I felt like I was in a spaghetti western ala Clint Eastwood. Doctor Campo – what can you say, he is the nutritionist, the counselor, aftercare expert. He did daily medication and incision follow up, he was there a.m. and p.m. for questions, and he removed my drain plus took a moment to rub my back to help with gas pains. He is definitely the serious member of the team but if you looked past his cooler presentation he was as caring about each patient as Dr Aceves. Nurse Karen – let me crush her hand and bury my head into her chest so my IV could be placed – she was the best.

The mechanics of scheduling and moving through surgery is so smoothly run it felt to me at times like an assembly line. I understand the need for detailed organization, and appreciated it; but I would have liked if the "pushers" were not quite so "slam-bam-thank you madam". No one asked or shared any personal tidbits, the little niceties that say "I see you as a person", not just a job number. Not to say anyone was impolite, just very business oriented when I was experiencing something very personal.

My surgery had zero complications – not so for my two co-patients on the schedule. One error was anesthesia related, did not affect the outcome of the surgery but definitely affected the quality of the experience for the patient. The other I am told, was doctor error and resulted in an extended hospitalization for the patient. Based on the doctors stats this was a real fluke – I know from observing the doctor with this second patient he was greatly upset and shaken over this.

My conclusion: I would still refer anyone seeking surgery to Dr Aceves and his team – I personally don’t think you could make a better choice.

The experience in Mexicali was everything that has been described on these and other boards. I have never received such good care in my life. Everyone in Mexicali was kind, thorough and helpful. I am six days post surgery and I feel pretty darn good.

I had an exemplary experience with Dr Aceves and the rest of his team. The program was very efficiently run and everyone who contributed to my care was very professional and competent. My blog here on OH has a complete report on my experience, and feel free to pm me with any questions.

This was the best surgery experience I have had, ever, anywhere!

Surgery in a couple of days with Dr. Aceves. Can't wait to see his kind face in person.
WOW!!! Dr. Aceves and Dr. Campos are awesome and so are the staff. Very well taken care of. The hospital is sooooo clean and really state of the art. There was nothing I didn't like about the doctors or staff. Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a sleeve.

My pre op was handled quickly via email. I was very happy with my research of Ungson and the communication with Luz. I was so very happy with my experience in Mexico. You not only get Ungson's experience but you get the assistant surgeon Romano and the internist Alfonso. All the surgeons came and saw me in the hospital daily. The private hospital and nurse Lourdes was great. All the hospital nurses spoke English except one. Never a problem, never even had to call a nurse, they were always in and out of the room. Hotel was great. Had the BEST broth and jello. A lot of the waiters spoke english but we got along pretty well. Hotel staff could call Luz, the doctors, or the pharmacy at any time. We walked to the movies and had a great time!! Thanks to all the staff! Emily

Dr. Aceves was all that I had read about and more. He truly made me feel like he cared about me, and that I was not just another patient. His staff was wonderful! I have never had a better experience (and we were unfortunate enough to be there while they were having earthquake's and after shocks)!

He was the best! So kind and compassionate and kind of felt like a father type figure to me. He hugs and is genuine and gave me the tinyist little incisions that I could ever have expected! Amazing! I totally cried when he came in to say goodbye to me! What a sap but I truly feel like he gave me the tool to give me my life back! I love Dr.Aceves and Lucy and Karen!! They are the best!

At first glance, Dr. Aceves looks like an honest, caring doctor. My impression of him did not change one bit once I got to know him. He is very knowledgeable and genuinely concerned for the well-being of his patients. The staff at the hospital was nothing short of phenomenal. He is very thorough before surgery and lets you know exactly what is going to happen and exactly what you need to do after the surgery. I was very impressed with Dr. Aceves and his staff and would recommend him to anyone who is looking to have a WLS.

What a wonderful experience.

Very through. I felt completely confident.
Only increased as time when on.
