My experience at Endobariatric w/Dr.Alvarez was top notch! Things could have NOT gone any smoother. Such a well oiled machine. His staff is A++++. Dr.Alvarez is an amazing doctor and just an amazing person overall. I have lost 93lbs. Life changing. I have zero regrets. Money well spent. SALUDOS Dr.A!!!!

Dr A IS THE BEST. I checked out a HIGHLY recommended Dr in Dallas Tx (I live in Dallas), 1st the Dr does all gastric surgeries (I prefer a specialist in 1 surgery), #2 as HUGE of a practice the Dr in Dallas he does NOT have the credentials Dr A. has & was going to toss ya out the door a few hours after surgery for $15k (hospital setting $19k) 😢 insurance will not cover any of it. Sooooo, I did my research for almost 2yrs INCLUDING checking the place that gives the Dr's their credentials/ awards, etc. Made sure the Dr's licenses are legit, etc. SUPER HAPPY WITH MY DECISION TO GO WITH DR. A. 🎉❤ THANK YOU DR A & ENDO HOSPITAL TEAM ❤

@denalawrence7202 wow that's insane & ridiculous amount. Thank God I went to Dr A. BEST DR AROUND & IS ABOUT TRUE PATIENT CARE!!! Not taking advantage of the patient & insurance.

A family member of mine recently had the sleeve in Texas. They had a horrible experience. For a patient on fall risk. The nurse came in the room threw the side table at the bedside. Told the patient to drink and go walk while all the bedside rails were up. Ive never seen such unsafe patient care. 😮

[@bethyoung9469]

Oh my, that's terrible patient care. 😮😔 I'm sorry your family member had to go through that. Dr A & his staff is TOP NOTCH 🏆

[@Sweetsy928]
