Good bedside manners, all risks and possible comlications were discussed before the surgery by phone . Surgeon is competent and well trained.rnAftercare program was well structured.rnSometimes i wish i've learned how to speak spanish, becuse there were some difficulties to communicate with nursing staff.rn
I know people must get tired of hearing this, but Dr. Kuri is about the most caring doc there is. He is also an excellent surgeon, according to my close friend Judy, an RN. When Judy accompanied me to TJ for the surgery, Dr. K invited her into his operating room to observe. She said that he and his team functioned like a symphony. rnrnI had my surgery before Dr. K. moved to the new hospital, but I loved the little place where we were and the hotel treated all of us kindly.rnrnThe day after surgery, I went shopping. Who can resist shopping in Tijuana?rnrnDr. K is not an all-around obesity doc. He is a lap-band surgeon. I would strongly recommend seeing an obesity specialist before jumping into this to determine whether the lap-band is your best option.
rnrnI cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kuri and his staff. My banding experience was wonderful. I have even been back to TJ twice for fills. The only down side I've experience by choosing to go to Mexico for my surgery is aftercare. I have had a problem finding a local Dr. that would provide me with fills. I finally found one 4 hours away that does fills for me when I can't make it all the way back to TJ. Dr. Kuri probably has the best bedside manner of any Dr. I've ever had in my life. He treats you like a precious little baby.....
