Guillermo Alvarez Bariatric Surgeon MD

I cannot say enough about my experience with Dr. Alvarez in Mexico. The hospital is small and a bit old looking but the staff was attentive, skilled and most helpful. My surgery went great; I was up walking that afternoon. I had very little pain and discomfort. Dr. Alvarez did a great job answering all my questions to make sure I was completely ready to go before the surgery. I have had absolutely no complications what so ever. I offer my highest recommendation to use Dr. Alvares and his staff. You will not be disappointed.

My first impression of Dr. Alvarez??? Soooo handsome!!! He is one of those people that just being in his presence puts you right at ease. Super friendly and funny!!!rnrnMy impression grew stonger throughout my whole experience. I became more and more fond of him and his whole team because of the small family-like atmosphere all around him.rnrnDr. Alvarez's office staff is awesome!!! Susan is the backbone to his practice. She is truly amazing and will answer any and all questions. She will do whatever it is you need her to do, even after you get home.rnrnRosie is the girl who transports the patients to and from the hotel/hospital. She is beautiful and friendly as well.rnrnThe only thing that I have to \"complain\" about was that I felt the rooms could have been more welcoming. It would have been nice to have towels in the rooms upon arrival even if it were just paper towels to use after washing your hands. This is just a personal prefence I guess and also pretty trivial but if that's only \"complaint\" I have then who cares right? lol...rnrnWhat should future patients know about Dr.-A??? OMG!!! Awesome surgeon and a very genuine man!!! Dr. A. is proud of his community and very proud of his practice and it shows in his work and his relationships with his staff and his patients. rnrnMy aftercare??? Dr. Alvarez and Dr. Rosales went over my after care thoroughly!!! I walked out of there feeling very informed. I was truly amazed when I was being discharged because they carried my luggage to the van!!! Find that in the states! NOT!rnrnThe risks of the surgery were clearly stated throughout the whole process from beginning to end. Dr. A's team thought of everything from A-Z!!!rnrnI felt Dr. Alwarez and Dr. Rosales's bedside manner and surgical competence were impeccable to say the least. I felt I was in very good hands.rnrnI couldn't have been happier getting my VSG in Mexico. It was a good experience and you can't beat the price. I felt I got much better care with Dr. Alvarez than I could have gotten in the states for sure. It was a much more personal experience as well as having a top-notch surgeon with tons of experience. NO REGRETS!rnrnThanks Endobariatrics for the fresh start and a brand new life!!!

He is an Angel sent straight from Heaven doing God's work on this earth.

Dr. Alvarez and his team were amazing from the get go! He has a great bedside manner and totally handsome. I have been in the medical field of work for 20 years and I am thoroughly impressed with this Dr. AND his staff. Everything was gone over completely which left me with no questions before-during-or after. I seriously have nothing negative to say... How many doctors can you say that about? On a scale of 1-10, I give Dr. Alvarez and his staff a 9.9 because no one gets a ten without a miracle...LOL.

THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS WONDERFUL!!

Well, after reading and re-reading about 300 testamonials I can only hope that Dr. Alvarez is as wonderful as his reputation is...especially his surgical skills and expertise. My surgery is only 6 days away and I get butterflies every time I think of it...I know it is the right decision but as an O.R. nurse for 16 years now I pray no \"intraoperative\" incident occurs and if it does everyone is trained and prepared to handle it. Scared but excited.....okay...I am 1 day post op now and Dr. Alvarez is the bomb! He is the best and has constantly checked on me just as I read would happen. The nurses at this small hospital are so incredibly attentive and literally \"Johnny on the Spot\" when you need anything at all. The surgical experience from a patient's perspective is positive and top-notch all the way.

I have had a fantastic experience in going to Dr. Alvarez.rnrnHis coordinator Susan has been extremely helpful and prompt whenever I've emailed her with a question.rnrnWe were picked up in San Antonio and driven to Eagle Pass, TX to spend the night before the surgery. On the day of surgery we were picked up again and taken across the border to Dr. Alvarez's office to meet with him and his assistant.rnrnDr. Alvarez is the most charismatic and genuine doctor I've ever dealt with. He cares about improving your quality of life.rnrnAfter meeting with Dr. Alvarez I was taken to the lab to have blood drawn and get a chest x-ray.rnrnAbout two hours later I was on my way to surgery and honestly don't remember a thing until much later that afternoon.rnrnWhen I woke up in my room there was no pain or nausea (I never experienced either). I was out of the bed within a couple hours and walking the halls.rnrnThe most impressive thing for me was that Dr. Alvarez and his assistant both checked on me a couple each day. I have never seen that level of personal care here in the States.rnrnTwo days after the surgery we were driven back to San Antonio and I actually felt good enough to go down to the river walk for a few hours with my wife.rnrnThe only negative thing I have to say is that since I don't speak Spanish, there wasn't a whole lot to watch on TV. I'll live.rnrnI would recommend Dr. Alvarez to anyone I know who is interested in having weight loss surgery.

Dr Alvarez is a wonderful man and very warm and caring. I can tell he cares about his patients. Its weird when I first met him it was like I was seeing a old friend. I researched him for about a year and I could never find anything bad about this man. His patients love him because he is the BEST DOCTOR. I have never flew anywhere in my life so flying to Mexico for surgery was very scarey for me. But the day I was to leave on my adventure I was more scared of flying then heading to Mexico. Susan sent me instructions of where I was going and step by step guide and I followed it and when I finally got to the hospiital to meet Dr Alvarez everything happened pretty fast from there. His staff was very professional and friendly. Dr Alvarez was amazing he really is and I always felt like I was in good hands never once did I feel like I made a wrong decision. If I could do it all over again I would in a heart beat. The hotels where I stayed on my way to him were top notch and were 5 stars all the way. And they took care of these which were great cause I thought I had to pay. Dr Alvarez and his staff are amazing and if you are considering this operation then flying to mexico to have the operation is the greatest decision you can make. You are in great hands with him. God Bless you on your adventure and god bless Dr alvarez for being such a wonderful gift to his patients.

Dr. Alvarez is very professional and knowledgeable. He made me feel comfortable from the first consultation until I actually left the facility. His staff is prompt and friendly. Everything went like clockwork and all the post-surgical aftercare was explained before we left. I was expecting more pain, but really only have had some soreness. I was very impressed with Dr. Alvarez and all the people on his staff from his driver to his nurses and asst. surgeon. I would recommend him for sure.

My first impression of Dr.Alvarez was that he looked very debonair. He dressed very professional and he is very sincere and my first impression of him never changed. Dr.Alvarez's office is very modern and he staff was nice. There was not anything that I disliked about Dr.A, his office, staff, etc. I really enjoyed my experience and wouldnt change anything about it if I could. Dr.A and his assistant Dr.Rosales did a great job informing me how to take care of myself. Not to mention that Susan (the patient coordinator) sends you tons of paperwork that you have at hand if necessary. The risks of the surgery are simply laid out. I would rate Dr. Alvarez on a 1-10 scale with 1 being the lowest as a 10. I would also rate Dr.Rosales as a 10. There surgical competence and beside manner are both great. When I told people that I was going to Mexico to have this surgery they were skeptical but I was never worried. From the moment I chose Dr.A I was confident in his abilities and I am so glad that I chose him to have my surgery. Dr.Alvarez is a great surgeon and I am so glad that I chose him to help me begin my journey with weightloss!
