I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Alvarez and his whole team at Endobariatrics!
From the patient and kind Rosie, who I communicated with before (and still after!) going down there, to the nursing staff, hotel level staff and everyone in between….. the kindness, professionalism, promptness of staff when I had a question and even the kindness they showed my mom (my companion) during our stay. The whole experience was top notch.
Dr. Alvarez was next level incredible! He is so comforting & really helps us to let our guard down, nerves go and to trust him and the process.
Knowing that he is a Master Bariatric Surgeon and that his facility is a Center of Excellence on top of recognizing a lot of items in his operating room as being the same ones we use in the OR I work in really sealed the deal for me.
If anyone is on the fence about who they should use, don’t let the price be the deciding factor. If you want the best result, best surgeon, best facility and best outcome…. You pay for it.
When it comes to my body and health, only the best is allowed to touch it.
Thank you Dr. Alvarez so much for giving me this amazing tool to get back to healthy with. Sleeved 2/2/22 and down 53lbs as of 5/2/22

I'm speechless no words can explain just how awesome Dr. Alvarez is, and needless to say the staff well their great.
Dr.Alvarez is sincere and honest he is just an overall great doctor, makes you feel at home and safe. There are no pressures or worries for nothing Dr.Alvarez and staff are just a phone call or email away for if you have any questions.
I must say all his social media is also a great way to learn from. If you are thinking of Bariactric surgery look no further
Dr.G Alvarez is your doctor, stay BLESSED Dr.A and thanks to you and your staff for showing me another way of life.

I did my research prior to choosing Dr. A. I am an experienced nurse and work with surgeons daily. My point being that I am aware or what I do and do not want in a surgeon. The process was easy from planning the trip to have surgery and my coordinator was so quick to respond to any questions I had. The experience once I arrived at the hospital was absolutely amazing. The hospital was first of all so clean and the decor and architecture was beautiful. Absolutely unlike any hospital I’ve been to or worked at. I felt as if it was easy to communicate with everyone who cared for me. I saw Dr. A daily while recovering in addition to another doctor. I must say the nurses after surgery on the floor were not super talkative/ outgoing…. But they gave me meds when I needed and so forth so I can’t complain too much about their personality I suppose. I hardly had pain! Discharge instructions were clear and I love the emails at each diet phase to remind you what you could have after surgery. I’ve had to email Dr. A on tw separate occasions and I received a response same day and both were video responses. Addressing me by name and answering my questions. I don’t know where you get that sort of care anywhere else! I have literally had zero complications. I feel better than I have in years. I’m happier, my marriage is happier and I feel so amazing! The energy I have is so refreshing! I’ve lost 45lbs in my first 3 months. Started out right at 200lbs for reference. The group of ladies that had surgery the same day have become lifelong friends! We all group text every single day! Overall, this is the best decision I’ve ever made! Dr. A has been nothing but amazing! My great results and lack of any complications is the biggest thing I want to point out! I’d do it over in a heartbeat!

I was nervous initially about going across the border to Mexico for my surgery. However, Dr.A and his staff were very reassuring. The facilities are some of the cleanest I've ever had the pleasure of walking into. The staff were also so helpful and kind during my stay, it was extremely refreshing. If you're wanting to go through with this surgery I can't recommend Dr.A and his staff enough. You will not find a crew with a better bed side manner.
I'm not sure who your coordinator would end up being, but I had Brandi as my coordinator and she answered all of my questions quickly and sincerely. If you have a choice in coordinator I urge you to pick Brandi.
The surgery went fantastic. I'm down 77 pounds since my surgery in November 2021 and with that has given me the energy and drive to go out and walking, exercising, biking, etc.
I also recommend chatting with your "sleeve-siblings" as they'll be a strong support group for your future life style change.

I have to say Dr. Alvarez is a top class doctor. Choosing to do the gastric sleeve was far most the best choice I have made in my life. Anyone thinking about it, don’t even hesitate DO IT. I feel so much better, happier mood, more confident and a much better self esteem. I cannot say enough about Dr. Alvarez. The hospital is beautiful, and spotless. Dr. Alvarez exceeded all my expectations. All my questions were answered by him. I never felt like another number. When I had concerns he came personally to address them with me. His communication is more than I expected from a doctor. I am so used to having procedures and then the doctors don’t even remember you. Not Dr. Alvarez. I had a question and a concern about a hernia he had fixed for me and to my surprise he even emailed me a video of his explanation directed to me personally. This is essential for me. Thank you Dr. Alvarez you are super. Thank you for giving me this fulfillment in my life.
