"I am writing this 4 months post-op.rnrnDr. Baltasar, or Dr. B as he prefers to be called, was outstanding. I could not hope for a better surgeon.rnrnI went to his home town in Spain for the surgery. He was a very caring person. He makes a point of performing only one surgery a day and has a team of two other surgeons who has been working with him for more than 15 years.rnrnHe saw me the day before the surgery, and then an hour before my surgery. He was there when I went under anaesthesia and there when I came out. He visited me at least twice a day while I was in the hospital, and was always available on the phone when needed.rnrnDespite his advice that I could travel 10 days post-op, I decided to stay for a month in Spain. I wanted a long relaxing holiday. He sent me his mobile telephone number even before meeting me. He put up with all kinds of panic calls from me with stupid questions of what I can eat and why do I feel nausea. He is one of the most caring persons.rnrnEven now, 4 months post-op, he still finds time in his busy schedule to drop me a line asking about my lab works and weight loss. I feel that Dr.B is a friend now more than a surgeon.rnrnHe is one of the top surgeons in the world in this type of surgery. To see this level of personal involvement and care from a person like this, is suprising in this day and agre of commercialism. I remember calling him once in a small panic and his wife picking up the phone because he was indisposed. She listened carefully, calmed me down, and made sure that the doctor called back.rnrnOutstanding person, outstanding skill.rnrnHighly recommended.rnrnCannot say enough about him."
