"My first impression of Dr. Machado's staff was very positive. They are professional, friendly and they made me feel very comfortable and at ease. rnrnDr. Machado is a very easy person to talk to and answered any question I asked. We spoke about the risks of surgery, types of bariatric surgeries, what I can expect after surgery and many other subjects relating to aftercare. rnrnShe has a very pleasing bedside manner and my husband and I both feel she's extremely competent."
