Dr. Aceves must be extremely skilled. I had small incisions and so very little discomfort - no pain - and the easiest recovery. I was impressed by the hospital: clean, beautiful and the staff all very professional. saw Dr. Aceves and the two doctors he worked with several times a day and one was almost always available for questions. This was the least important fact to me, but Dr. Aceves has the most wonderful bedside manner, very warm and caring. There is not a structured aftercare program although I have had every e-mail question answered quickly, usually the same day. They are there to help, but you need to take responsibility for your aftercare and educated yourself on what you need to do.
Dr. Aceves is a very happy and caring person. He was always willing to explain everything and listen. The office staff and staff at the hospital were excellent. They were all very friendly and very helpful. What I didn't like was that the beds were hard and I could tell that Dr. Aceves smoked because the hospital was so clean and sterile that you could smell anything from outside the hospital. Dr. Aceves is a very careful surgeon. I had heart problems going in to the surgery so Dr. Aceves brought in a heart specialist just to be sure. He is a very careful person. I went to mexico by myself for my gasteric bypass and not once was I afraid abound the medical care I was receiving. Dr. Aceves explains after care and gives you paper work explaining some things when you leave. I'm 2 months post op and I am finding that I have some questions now and I'm not sure who to ask. I knew I had great risks going in because they were explained to me but it was all worth it, I have no regrets and I would definately give Dr. Aceves and the hospital Almater a 10. Dr. Aceves is a great surgeon and he has a great bedside maner too!!
Amazing! Quiet first day or so, after surgery he was gabbing away. Remembered my family members names, checked in with us all day.Very Skilled and very skilled staff!
I had a VSG on June 23/08. I am delighted with the results. Dr. Aceves and his staff can actually make having surgery a pleasure. Hard to believe, but true. Dr. Aceves is an artist with a scalpel and a compassionate and interested physician. Questions and concerns are fully addressed by the Dr. and his staff. The hospital is modern and clean, like a 5 star hotel. The nursing staff is caring and attentive. If this surgery was free in Canada, I would still go to Mexicali.
MY FIRDT IMPRESSION OF DR. ACEVES WAS AMAZAGING. A VERY INTELIGENT PERSON. NO ONE COULD HAVE BEEN MORE PERFERCT OF A PERSON LIKE HIM. WHEN I FIRST DECIDED TO HAVE THE SURGERY DONE IT WAS RENA WHO I SPOKE TO THE FIRST TIME THAT WORKS WITH HIM. SHE WAS LIKE IF I KNOWN HER MY WHOLE LIFE. SHE WAS A FRIEND AND EVERYTHING ELSE A PERSON COULD BE ON THE PHONE. SHE KNEW WHAT I WAS GOING THREW AND WAS THERE FOR ME TILL THE END OF SURGERY AND STILL IS. THE REST OF THE STAFF AT THE HOSPITAL WAS SO GOOD TO ME THEY TOOK CARE OF ME LIKE I WAS PART OF THIER FAMILY, TILL THE BEGINING TO THE END. I WOULD ADVISED FUTURE PATIENTS TO CHOICE DR. ACEVES FOR ANY KIND OF SURGERY THE CHOSE TO HAVE .HE ALSO HAD TWO OTHER DOCTORS THAT WAS ALWAYS ON DUTY. AND THEY WERE THE BEST ALSO. AFTER THE SURGERY THEY STAYED BY MY SIDE TO MAKE SURE I WAS OK. I BEEN IN HOSPITALS MANY TIMES AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH WORDS I CAN SAY ABOUT DR. ACEVES AND HIS STAFF. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED AS A PERSON THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO THEM IN MY WHOLE LIFE, AND IM 50 YEARS OLD. AFTER SURGERY THE DOCTORS CAME IN AND REVEIWED WHAT I HAD TO KMOW WHAT I COULD AND COULD NOT HAVE AND THE COMPLICATIONS OF THE SURGERY. A NUTRITION CAME IN AND GAVE ME PAPERS TO REVIEW WHAT I COULD HAVE FOR A LENTH OF PERIOD. I ASKED QUESTIONS AND SHE ANSWERD VERLY CLEARLY WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW. THERE IS NO NUMBERS HIGHT ENOUGH TO RATE DR. ACEVES. JUST KNOWING WHO HE IS AND THE MIRACELS HE DOES FOR OTHERS LIKE ME, HE IS ONE OF A KIND. IF I HAD TO DO IT OVER, HE WOULD BE THE ONE I WOULD ALWAYS GO TO. NOTHING OR NOE ONE WOULD EVER CHANGE MY MIND.
Great guy, funny, very knowledgeable, very attentive & caring. Cares about what he does & makes you feel at ease & comfortable. Had great people on hand to greet me at the hospital & get all the preops done. The nurses were so very nice & truly wonderful, loved them all. All the info was given for the postop diet in a group setting. His assistant was also a great Dr. Surgical risks were given in detail. I was never afraid. Would highly recommend Dr. Aceves & his staff to anyone wanting to have bariatric surgery. It was truly a wonderful & rewarding experience for having to go out of the country. Dr. Aceves is a very experienced surgeon & great bedside manner. Would visit at least 3 times per day. Always available day or night to answer any questions. Never felt alone being so far away from home.
well...i haven't talked to Dr. Alberto Aceves yet...but one thing i can say is that i soooo fell in love with his consultant (Miss. Monica)...which i feel is extremely important!! you have to feel comfortable...well...first i got a very detailed description of each and every one of the procedures...then i asked if there was any deaths...she said yes...OMG! can you believe that..i was so blown away how honest she was...oh btw...but it wasn't from the RNY...anyhow...on top of that...lol...she wanted what was best for me...she suggested the gastric sleeve...which costs 9,500USD....(one of the cheaper procedures)...(ive chose the lap. gastric bypass 12,500USD)...but yeah...i know it sounds crazy but she made me feel so important...so loved and cared for...i was so sold...i think first impression is everything and having surgery with Dr. Alberto Aceves is the right decision for me and my future goals....!!! ~~~YaY~~~rnrnrnPS::::rnrnill keep you up to date...with...Dr Aceves...
My experience with Dr. Aceves and his staff was better than I could have imagined. I have worked in many hospitals in the US and boy was I very pleasantly surprised by my experience. I did my homework and I knew Dr. Aceves was an excellent surgeon. But throw his staff, the hospital, and the hospital staff (all my nurses spoke English) into the mix and it was a most wonderful experience.rnNot only did they take excellent care of me, but also of my son who accompanied me.rnI wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Aceves.rnThey treated me like family.
My surgeon was very knowlegeable and his team reiterated the things necessary to be succesfful using our tool. The hospital is clean and everyone has been just lovely! I have had virtually no pain at all. We had a pre-procedure intimate session with his assistant Dr Campos and that was very informative.
