Rio Grande Surgeons, P.A. Bariatric Center

This Doctor was thorough and kind. He went out of the way to make sure comfort was above all. I am very blessed to have had this surgeon and his staff.

Dr Acosta did my surgery on 6/3/13 and I could not have been more blessed. He is a very kind, caring man. He never once made me feel like he was in a hurry to be somewhere else, never made me feel like I was not important to him and has a great bedside manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone .

Dr. Acosta is an awesome surgeon. He did my VSG on May 28, 2013. He is a very supportive doctor and doesn't keep anything from you. He is stats are unbelievers when it goes to bariatrics. I would defiantly recommend him to anyone.

Dr Acosta performed my surgery on May 8, 2012. I have nothing but respect for him. From the first time I saw him at the conference in December to my first appointment with him in El Paso he was always very professional and very informative. He has a no nonsense attitude about his work and if he is going to give you the time and dedication of his craft then you had better be willing and able to do your part and follow the plan as prescribed!! He is quiet but firm--and very serious about his work. Post Operatively ...he was wonderful about keeping my family informed about my progress and while in the hospital he was there to see me everyday and let my family ask any questions that they had. I firmly believe that due to his talent and perfection with his craft it gave me the best possibility for the best recovery! I had no painful gas post op as he instilled the desire in me to walk as much as possible beginning 4 hours after my surgery. I needed no pain meds after two days!! I felt awsum the day after surgery!! I am nearly 3 weeks post op and I still feel wonderful!! I truely feel blessed that he was my surgeon...its easy to see why he had previously been named Bariatric Surgeon of the year!! I told him I felt that way and he was very humble. God works wonders thru this mans able hands! I am blessed that my insurance company would only allow me to see him and his Center of Excellence. After hearing of the things that other people have gone thru I am now happy that I had to jump thru the hoops I had to with my insurance company to ensure I had the best of the best care out there!! God Bless you Dr. Acosta!! You have given me the best tool to help me gain my life back!!! <3

Great Surgeon. To me he seems quiet, reserved, but he is very knowledgeable and respectful. Will take the time to explain anything that you don't understand. I felt comfortable with him since I first met him. I didn't have very many questions since I had been researching RNY since before 2005. His office staff is great. I have called and or emailed them and have always got a quick response. I chose this office because of the aftercare. I only had to go to El Paso for my Evaluation to see if I qualified, Surgery, and followup after surgery. All the other visits are in Albuquerque.

Excellent surgeon, very informative and explanatory. The surgery went great!

I was really impressed with everything I got down at Del Sol and with Dr. Lara. Del Sol really has their stuff together in terms of patient care. They always had me in and out as quickly as possible (when this is a good thing) and were always willing to go that extra mile.

Dr. Lara was pretty short and sweet, but I didn't really have any questions for him. I'm sure he would have entertained anything I would have asked, but I was pretty well read by the time I got down there.

I would suggest to anyone using Del Sol, however, to ensure you have phone conversations or face-to-face conversations whenever possible. Emails aren't their top priority, and I never really got the answer I was looking for. They're responsive, but it'll save everyone a ton of time if you just call and ask the question.

Dr Jorge Acosta performed my gastric by pass on November 23, 2010. I had an excellent experience with the surgery. Dr. Acosta found I had a hernia and repaired it at the same time. I am very greatful to him. He has been very kind and caring. However his office staff has made me feel differently. I had an issue with my sick leave that I wanted to take. I have lots of sick leave and felt that I had to justify wanting to take more that two weeks. I don't know if people normally abuse this leave but I don't. I'm a teacher and going back to work after two weeks with 24 first graders is not something I wanted to rush to. Dr Acosta was fine with my leave but the office staff wasn't. they did the same thing with my husbands Family leave. I'm hesitant to ask them things, but I still do, but I feel like I'm in the principal's office. But Acosta is incredible.

Dr. Acosta, is kind and professional. My first impression was that he is caring, and really passionate about helping people reach their health goals. His office staff is amazing, Nurse Becky is extremely helpful, and she was so excited to see me after surgery, how many Nurses do you know that are exceted to help you along your journey?! I am a little ove a week out and will be seeing them in a few days, can't wait:) I rate Dr. Acosta at a 10, he is one of the best at what he does!
