My first impression of Dr. de la Cruz was great. He was very professional, personable and very knowledgeable. That impression has not changed.

I went to his seminar at Hialeah Hospital. I was very surprised that he was actually there. He was very informative and took the time to answer each and every question and never rushed the group at all.

He brought in some post-op patients and when they talked about him or looked at him, their eyes glowed. They were all so greatful to him and he in return looked like a proud papa looking at all these hopeful faces. This is when I knew I had found the right surgeon.

When I met him in person, he did not disappoint me. He was very adamant on after care and making sure I knew all the risks regarding the surgery. He referred my to a PCP, nutritionist and phycologist. He also informed me that I must attend an support group and get physical activitiy for at least a year post-op - Mandatory.

His staff is absolutely great !! They always take your calls and are there willing to answer any questions. They follow up and demonstrate a genuine interest in your progress and getting you approved by your ins. carrier.

So far he is a 10 in my book !!

I have only spoken to DR Zahn at the seminar. So far everyone in the office is very friendly and patient with all my questions! I will update later :)
** 8-22-03 ** Had consultation yesterday. I love Zahn and his staff ... all very friendly and helpful. I am excited that I choose this office and surgeon.

I met my Dr at one of his seminars. He seemed very smart, honest and down to earth. When I had my first visit with him he was very polite, informative and he had a very positive attitude.
From the staff I noted that when you call the office you get a real person to answer the phone and not an answering machine, for me this is a BIG PLUS. Also they will answer your questions on the spot.
I have no dislikes for my Dr if I did, I would have gone elsewere.As a matter of fact he was the third gastric bp Dr I visited in person after their presentation seminars.
The day of my surgery he instructed me regarding diet and activity levels.
During my first visit,he wasvery attentive and noticed my motivation was a little low and recommended for me to join the support group.
The risks of the surgery were covered in the seminar and also in the first consultation.
I have had nothing but positive experiences with my Dr, that is why I rate him a 10.

At the orientation conference I got a really good vibe from him. He seems young but very knowledgable. He did not seem cocky or proud and showed a genuine interest in the patients. His staff seemed nice as well. First appointment is set to 08.18.05

My first impression of him was that he was very young, even though I had already heard that from other members, I was still surprised. His staff was very helpful, very friendly. Overall, I really liked the way he handled the situation.

My first impression of Dr.De La Cruz was good. He explained everything step by step and has good patience. The office staff is a very important factor becuase they need to know how to answer things as far as the steps that you may sometimes forget. And I must say that thus far his staff is excellant and treat you as if youre the only patient everytime you call. I will continue to update this area as time goes by, I want to be able to really give them all the credit they deserve once Im closer to the procedure

My first impression of Dr.Nestor de La Cruz-Munoz was "Good..he's young and possibly not burned out". My impression has not changed. He is young and refreshing. He is very informative and seems to love what he does and that is really important. Dr.Munoz and his staff is great and most of all patient. I had Preferred Medical Plan insurance at first (which is a piece of crap insurance, if you have this insurance get out of it and run for higher ground!)..anyhow....they denied me immediately and then I switched to Vista and the office staff advised me as to what to do to get an approval immediately. After approximately one month with my new insurance Gloria and Terry got me approved!
Kudos !!! Kudos!!! I now have surgery set for December 20,2004 and I feel confident that I have chosen the best surgeon to perform my gastric bypass.

MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS I HAD PICKED THE RIGHT SURGEON
OVER TIME I FELT EVEN BETTER KNOWING MY DESISION WAS RIGHT
HIS OFFICE STAFF IS THE BEST MORE THAN I COULD EVER HAVE HOPE FOR .

NOTHING I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM AND HIS STAFF

HE'S THE GUY YOU GO TO WHEN YOU NEED DIRECTION

VERY WELL YOU AND YOUR PRE OP AND POST OP CARE ARE # 1 NO CHANCES HE ACTS ON THINGS ON THE SPOT

HIS PRE OP CLASS ALLOWS YOU TO MEET PEOPLE POST OP HE GIVE A MINI CLASS OF WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE AND AFTER AND SHOWS YOU A SURGERY ONLINE LIVE

I HAVE BEEN ON THIS MISSION FOR SURGERY 3 YEARS NOW AND I WAS LOST WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO WHAT WERE THE STEPS TO THE APPROVAL PROCESS ALL TESTS LETTERS INSURANCE REQIERMENTS AND HIS GIRLS REALLY STUCK BY ME AND SHOWED ME ALL I HAD TO DO 100% THE BEST


BOTH

My first impression of Dr. Cruz was, WOW he is young. But that made me feel comfortable. I beleive young doctors have freshly imputed knowledge in the brain. His office staff is great and they have been very nice, friendly, and helpful through this whole process. He addressed all my questions and concerns at my consultation visit and at this orientation meeting you are obligated to attend. I overall rate him as a wonderful great doctor. I feel completely confident with Dr. Cruz and know that I will be safe and that there will be no complications with my surgery. I highly recommend him to everyone, he is the best doctor to go with.
