Guillermo Alvarez Bariatric Surgeon MD

Dr. Alvarez and his staff are wonderful and the facility is the best medical facility in which I have ever been treated. My pre-op process was very clearly explained and the pre-op diet was not as difficult as I had feared. Travel was fantastic and I felt safe and protected during the entire process.

The surgery went well and there was mild discomfort, but not what I would ever call pain. My post-op diet was so easy to follow and as the weight came off, the motivation only grew.

I didn’t have complications, but I had some concerns about the healing process and my transition to solid foods. Dr. Alvarez sent a video message within hours. Knowing that he is still with me every step of the way is such a reassurance.

My gastric sleeve is the best tool I have ever had to defeat my obesity, and there is no one I’d trust to give this tool to one of my family members more than Dr. Alvarez.

There isn’t enough space in this box to describe Dr. Alvarez and his staff. You get the best. Beautiful facilities, very caring staff, very professional. I knew I had made the right decision. If you’re contemplating on having the surgery or not sure about Dr. Alvarez, give him a call and have that one to one consultation. YOU will not regret it.
Thank you Dr. A and your staff.

I’m 3 months post op today and have zero regrets! Dr. Alvarez and his team are absolutely amazing. The hospital is modern, clean and safe. My husband and I drove crossed the border with no issues or safety concerns. Recovery went smoothly no complications. Dr A checks on you personally to make sure you are doing good. Also checked on my husband he made sure he was comfortable had blankets(husband was not a patient) but he
enjoyed the stay he loved the cafeteria food and was happy with the treatment we got. All in all great experience just wish I would have done it sooner!!
64lbs down so far couldn’t be happier!
Especial thanks to Brandi, Mario, Michelle and the GOAT Dr. Alvarez The best of the best!!

Life changing! Dr. Alvarez and his staff were absolutely wonderful. I felt safe and taken care of through each step of this surgery’s journey. I’m 3 months postop and have absolutely zero regrets! Thank you!

My only regret is I wish I had done it sooner! Endobariatric and Dr.Alvarez are absolutely the best! I have a background in healthcare and I was so impressed with the cleanliness and professionalism of everyone at Endobariatric. From the moment you arrive they cater to your every need, accommodations are very comfortable, pre-op procedures are accomplished quickly and before you know it you are recovering in your room with the best staff to make you comfortable. The instructions were very easy to follow every step of the way and my patient coordinator Rosie was an angel! She always quickly answered all of my questions and coordinated throughout the process. Recovery was so much easier than I anticipated. I can't recommend Dr.Alvarez and his team at Endobariatric enough!!

Dr A and the staff are amazing. The facility is clean, professional and safe. I had my sleeve on Jan 4th 2024 and wow what a life Changning event. Yes i have lost a bunch of weight and i have to make better food choices. You see if i eat bread or carbs i get stomach pain so all those bad foods that made me gain weight don't really nourish my body. With my new stomach only being 5-6 oz capacity i have to focus on getting the right protein and minerals and vitamins.
If not i just don't have the energy for the day. I am amazed that i don't get hungry and i spend way less time eating.
Lots of my "comfort foods" cause belly cramps and are just not good for me, so it is easier to stay away from. This was the life change that i needed to really change my life and loose the weight and get health by making better choices. Its not a fad diet. I find that drinking the correct amount of water is the key to dropping pounds. I don't have food cravings and i have to eat all my old fav's but my taste buds and stomach cramps and or pains have been guiding me on what to stay away from. This may change over time. The teaching in Dr A's book has been a big help he also has YouTube videos on all kinds of subjects surrounding this topic. I would highly recommend Dr A. The amount of my friends who complement me and ask ? What did you do? is amazing.
Thank you Dr A. and your staff

I’ve waited seven months to write this review, I wanted to give this review the time it deserved. I had my sleeve surgery on 8/24/23 with Dr. Alvarez and his amazing team. To say this is the best hospital experience I’ve had in my 59 years, is saying a lot! It was amazing from the first step on the shuttle that picked us up! The entire staff and the facility are on a level that’s beyond nice, it’s posh! The staff and Dr. A made us all so comfortable and everything went as smoothly as it could have. I would highly recommend having this surgery at the Endo Hospital, with the skilled hands of Dr. A and his team! It’s changed my life in amazing ways and I’m excited to keep losing and getting healthier! I only have one regret, that I didn’t have this surgery sooner!

After years of weight ups and downs and trying every diet method on the planet, I was exhausted. My friend is an RN and had surgery at Endobariatric and Dr Alvarez about 5 years ago and had a great experience. Her daughters consequently also had the surgery. Honestly, I wasn’t nervous and trusted my choice. I felt warmly well cared for, taken care of, and everything was thoroughly explained at every stage. I went with my best friend who also had the surgery. They let us share a room. The staff and Dr Alvarez treated us respectfully as individuals (not as a number). It was a beautiful life changing experience. It still requires work and recovery and mindset changes but Dr A and staff are with you every step of the way. You never feel alone.

I was very nervous about the whole thing including traveling to Mexico for the surgery. The entire staff and Dr. A assured me it was perfectly safe and all would be fine. The entire experience was great and they took care of me like I was family! I would highly recommend anyone to get surgery NOW with Dr. A and staff and begin to really LIVE your BEST life!

Dr. Alvarez changed my life forever! The experience was way better than I could have ever imagined. He was so calming and professional and very detailed with his instructions to make sure we had the best of experiences. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Constantly checking my status after surgery to make sure I was comfortable and in the least amount of pain as possible. The facilities were TOP OF THE LINE! Very modern and beautiful.
This was the best decision of my life and I will be forever grateful to Dr. A and his staff. I've lost over 60 lbs. in less than 3 months, and I look and feel better than ever, and the best part is that I know that if I keep following Dr. A's recommendations, I will never gain it back ever again.
Thanks Dr. A! You are the best!
