Audencio Alanis
"My first impression of Dr. Alanis is that he truly cares about his patients as human beings. My opinion of him has not changed. His office staff is great and very friendly and kind. They really know what they are doing with insurance companies. There is nothing I don't like about Dr. Alanis, he is kind, soft spoken. He treated me with respect. Alanis emphasizes after care, and it is very important for a successful surgery. Dr. Alanis did my revision and I thought everything was ok after the surgery but I started having fever the next day it was about 48 hours after the surgery on Christmas Eve I had emergency surgery to repair the leak after almost going into heart failure. I spent 13 days in and out of ICU. Pneumonia , PE in one lung, infection MRSA in the wound afterwards had a wound vac for about three weeks I thought I was going to die before I started healing and I have been in pain every day since. I know he went back in and saved me but I believe a revision surgery is a huge mistake and should not be done. To recommend a diet and exercise or a dietitian would have been more prudent and medically sound. He was assisted in the surgery by Dr. Miranda another surgeon. Dr. Alanis's bedside matter is one of the best I have ever seen, he is very careful not to hurt you and I believe he is a good person but no one should have a revision for 30 or 40 pound weight gain and if not for my job I would not have done it. I would recommend him to anyone as a surgeon but bariatics I would not no matter who the surgeon except maybe a Lapband. My life has been forever altered due to the revision surgery. I will be in pain the rest of my life. I regret it greatly as I said he is a nice person and a good general surgeon and I think he is a good doctor and I knew if anyone did the risks before the surgery but when you sign the papers no one thinks the "possible" things will ever happen to them WRONG the only side effect I did not have was death."

River Oaks Hospital
"I was given wonderful care. Being a part of this program I know the players here. Believe me everyone knows about the place they work. I have worked at other hospitals where the people would go elsewhere for surgery because they knew the type of care they would recieve. I knew what type of care we give here so I chose River Oaks. I am very glad I did."
