Miami Hope Center Bariatric Center

He is a great surgeon with a great reputation but the first visit I didnt decide to go with him so I went to visit 2 other doctors to get a 2nd opinion. One of the Doctor was Dr. Marema (He never saw me in his office after 1hr traveling all the way ovethere to the mandatory meeting ,was cancelled so I filled out all my papers and they never call me to make an appointment or they never got interest in me and the other one was Dr. Jacob Moises "A great Doctor" but I didnt like the "Banding" presentation.
So I went Back to the first one that I visited which is Dr. Rabaza and his Associates are Dr. Gonzalez and Dr. Verdaja.
I will keep you post about his care, manner, competence and anything of him.

My first impression of the Dr. Rabaza was great. His office staff has been very helpful though they are ovelwhelmed with all
the future surgeries. He is a very compassionate, patient man with excellent bedside manners. He strongly ephazises aftercare and has an excellent easy to follow program in place. He explained to me all the pro's and cons of thsi procedure.He is the greatest. I want everyone to know that this was my own personal experience and ahould not be used as an aid for others choices.The experineces usually vary.

Nice Doctor....

Had to wait a long time for an appointment.
Will not take any changes with surgery. He postponed my surgery due to leg ulcers. He is said to be one of the best surgons in Miami.

That he was the answer I was looking for



It hasn't


Friendly and knowledgable


He's a bit serious

He's all busines and knows his stuff

Too soon to tell


Yes


He explained everything before surgery

Excellent
Surgical competence

He was very nice, He took the time to explain everything. He answered all our questions.... I was very happy with him...

The staff was very helpful, espeically Carmen who gave us the surgery date.

What I liked least was the wait.... But I guess that is the same with most surgeons.

We have not talked about aftercare yet... I'm sure that will be done in the hospital...

Dr. Rabaza is a very nice man. Very to the point and answers any and all the questions you have even if you think that they may be silly. The staff is great too, very helpful and supportive especially Carmen the surgery coordiator. He did tell me the risks as well as the benefits which was nice not all negative. I would rate him in the 90th percentile.
As far as negative he sometime seems rushed. I have been lucky I guess I have only been to him twice before getting approved. I kind of wish I would of had more time with him.
