Hilario Juarez Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

I was told my several doctors that I am friends with, that Dr. Juarez is the best in Arizona. Because of that you usually have to wait about an hour to 1 1/2 hrs. to get to you appointment.

Dr. Juarez was absoutley amazing. I am so glad I went with him. I felt extremely comfortable in his care. His bedside manner isn't the best..he doesn't talk a lot but he is definitely the best at what he does. His staff on the other hand though, wasn't the best. It was really hard getting in touch with him but they did get the work done. The aftercare at St. Lukes was fantastic. Anytime I needed something, though, they were right there for me. Dr. Juarez was phenomenal.

He was great in 2002. Trying to get him to do a revision for me.

Dr. Juarez is the BEST. I can not say enough good about him. He is very straight forward and understanding. I had several problems and had 2 revisions and ended in having a reversal. Once the reversal was healed he then did reconstruction of my stomach and had to remove about half of it. I do not blame him nor his staff for any of it. They saved my life. I will always think of him as my angle on earth. I do however have a not so good oppinion of his associate Dr. Fang. He always gave me the impression he did not believe me when I would call saying I was sick and throwing up everything I put in my mouth. When my insurance would not cover Dr. Juarez and I had to see Dr. Fang he told me he would not touch me, I would have to wait until I could see Dr. Juarez again.

I dont have a surgeon right now, but am hoping for Dr. Juarez

when i had my surgery in 01, juarez did everything to ease my mind, answer all my q's, and was very concerned with me do to me being epileptic and my health afterwards. he seemed amazed at how determined i was at getting out of the bed ASAP once surgery was over and they gave me the thumbs up. i would recommend juarez to anybody that would be interested in this procedure. I had no complications(besides the dumping-to which i'm able to get along with) and as for his bedside manner(very professional)

Dr. Juarez was very professional. He made me feel at ease and confident in his abilities. Everyone in his office were very helpful. I can not say one thing bad about Dr. Juarez. He was a life saver for me. I think the main thing to know is just be honest about everything. He needs to know all your medical history. I thought he would say \"oh hell no\" when he saw my lung tests. But he was very professional and worked with it. He did emphasize after care, and I have my first appointment with him this Friday. Hopefully i have been a good girl! His surgical competence was awesome, but I also thought his bedside manner was just as good! I completely recommend him!

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Juarez. He was just so attentive to my concerns, my needs, my comfort, everything. When I had questions and I left a message/email for a return call , I was called back. The closer to surgery I got, I had more questions for a revision and he was attentive and patient in calling back and explaining everything, answering my questions. Surgery went great. Hospital recovery was difficult but he was attentive and came morning and evening to check on me and help to make the pain tolerable (my fault with pain meds). Post-surgery when I had a concern and a question, he got back to me quickly. I am extremely pleased with Dr. Juarez and grateful I had him for my RNY to DS Laparoscopic Revision.

I couldn't have chosen a better surgeon, staff, and weight loss surgery center. rn Dr. Juarez is a soft spoken, intelligent, knowledgable, funny man. I first met him at my seminar in January and he was a laid back funny man who was very knowledgable about weight loss surgery. You can trust him with everythign when you go on that surgery table. He always greets you with a smile and an understanding. He comes to see you after surgery and you feel safe, and feel you are in good hands. rn This was just the surgeon. You also meet the peopel that will be in the surgery room with you. WOW these are some amazing INTELLIGENT people. They will exceed your expectations. You will feel very safe and under good care. rn The other staff, the dieticians, the billing people, the people that work with your weight loss surgery plan and do the meetings, classes. ARE WONDERFUL! so full of wisdom and care. The Bridges Centre is an all around good program. It is a team that was put together perfectly, and I was so lucky to be able to have my surgery through them. IM SO HAPPY!, and I hope this helps the many peopel that are searching for someone to give them their new life! All the best to everyone.
