My first impression was that he was very compassionate and understanding and took time to listen to me.
My impression is still the same.
His staff leaves alot to be desired. They do NOT return phone calls or emails.
His staff. Period!
To have follow up doctors set up in the area where they live prior to surgery.
Not much on after care discussed.
NO after care program I know of set up.
He was very thorough in his description of what the risks were of having this and any surgery.
Surgical competence and bedside manner were excellent in my opinion.
I did all of my scheduling via phone and email, so I did not meet Dr. Lopez until the night before my surgery. He was very courteous and understood the trials and tribulations of the M.O. person. He takes great pride in helping us achieve our goals.
He has a fantastic staff who are all extremely helpful.
I had all of my pre-op work done the day of surgery. Surgery went great, I was only in the hospital for 3 days, most of which I slept. I then went to a hotel for one day before flying back home.
The only thing that I was disappointed in is that no one helped me to find a fill doctor in the U.S. for aftercare. I am desperately in need of a fill, and cannot find a doc who is accepting patients of Mexican docs.
Overall, I would rate Dr. Lopez a 10! He is kind and most of all knowledgeable. He has performed over 1,000 of these lap band surgeries. Even though I only met him 24 hours prior to surgery, I totally trusted in him.
