Dr. A is an amazing caring and knowledgeable surgeon. I started watching his YouTube videos and looking at different sites, reading reviews about 1 1/2 years ago. He offers so much information. I finally decided to reach out and contact the office earlier this year (2020). Everyone I came in contact with was super friendly and very helpful. Everyone speaks English, as well as Spanish. I can’t believe how easy the whole process was from start to finish. Once I met Dr. A , it was confirmed I made the right decision on choosing him as my surgeon. He was down to earth, very informative and made everyone feel so comfortable, just like family. His whole team is absolutely amazing and makes you feel like family. He made me feel like I was in great hands and I felt very comfortable with the entire process. My husband went with me and he was also very pleased with Dr. A. and his entire team and the facility. His faculty is extrmely clean and done very nicely. There was plenty of time to ask questions before making my appointment and even after, as well as when I was there. Dr. A had a meet and greet and opened it up to any questions. We all got to tour the faculty as well. Dr. A is very thorough going over the process and answering any questions in a way everyone can understand. What really made me happy was the fact that we are given his personal contact info in case we have any questions once we return home. It is a huge peace of mind knowing you can get a hold of your surgeon even after you return home. Everything went so smoothly and I was extremely impressed with the entire process from the initial contact to finish. The payment process was easy too. If I could I would give him even more stars. I have already recommended him to close friends and one my friend is already scheduled to go see him in November. I can not say enough great things about him and his staff. I have already lost 50 pounds and feel amazing. The healing process went great. You won’t regret choosing Dr. A as your surgeon.

Dr. A and his staff provided a wonderful experience during my visit there. I have recommended he and his profession to my family and they are scheduled to see him.

My surgery should not have been categorized as a surgery. Most surgeries I was nervous, scared, had pain and lots of healing afterwards. This surgery was "pleasing". Dr. A made you feel at ease, as well as his staff. I felt no pain. I had a small amount of "gassy" discomfort, that a few walking laps around the hospital floor took care of. After a few more laps, I had to ask myself, did I have a major surgery? I felt great. The next day I had a facial, a tasty fruit smoothie and walked some more. The third day I went home. I felt great for someone who had surgery. And I wasn't on any pain medication. After three months, I still have the unused pain prescription Dr. A prescribed. I didn't need it!! I couldn't wait to go home and start my new life. But, don't get me wrong, I would've really wanted to stay just a little longer, because it was that nice. It was like a vacation resort. So clean and the staff catered to your needs. When we pulled away in the van to head out, we turned around and waved back as Dr. A was waving farewell to us. It felt like you were waving bye to Mickey Mouse leaving Disney World. It was sad, but a very happy moment too!

Best Dr ever he is as profesional as can be as explaining the procedure but also as humble as like putting your luggage in your vehicle. His hospital is top of the line you won’t even realize you are in a hospital it feels more like a retreat staff all speak English and are the best I was one of those person that thought what about if something happens to me since I’m doing my surgery in Piedras Negras but once there everything was just so amazing as far as the treatment the hospital the staff I couldn’t be happier for the experience I had. Surgery went great and recovery was even better no pain after surgery was walking the next day as nothing.

The Endohospital is more like a resort than a hospital. With Dr. A only performing up to 4 surgeries a day, you become close to the other patients and their families. The staff goes above and beyond to treat you like family. They do anything to help you and your companion to feel safe and comfortable. The day I left the hospital Dr A himself carried my and my mom’s luggage to the van!! I would recommend Dr A to anyone who is ready to change their lives!

From the time you step foot in the hospital, you feel like family. The Endohospital is top-notch-- the staff is great-- and Dr. A is amazing! The only thing I regret is not doing this sooner... 3 months later I'm down over 40 pounds and feel awesome! Thank you Dr.A and staff-- yall are the BEST!!

I’m officially a week out from surgery and wanted to share my experience with Dr. Alvarez at Endobariatrics. I’ll preface by saying that a month before my surgery, my husband had gastric sleeve done at another facility in Mexico. I was not happy with the experience and knew that there had to be better options out there. My journey was so much better and I would recommend anyone who is on the fence to place their trust in Endobariatrics. The facility is gorgeous and spotless, but the staff are the true gems. I am not exaggerating when I say that every need was considered before I even had to ask for anything. Every detail has been thought of ahead of time. Being at Endohospital felt like it was designed just for me and like I was the only patient. When I pressed the call button, someone was there within 30 seconds. I had the same couple of nurses the whole time and they are so sweet and gentle. Everyone spoke English and I never felt confused about the process or in the dark about what happens next (the exact opposite of my husbands experience).
When I woke from surgery I was really surprised that I had none of the dreaded gas pain that everyone talks about. I would rate my overall pain a 3 out of 10 for the first couple days. Another surprise is that I have no drinking restrictions. I was able to immediately drink my 64oz each day without a problem and never had nausea. My recovery has been much easier than my husbands and I attribute that to the methods Dr. A uses. As a business owner I can see and appreciate all the time, effort and expense that Dr. A has put into this practice. I am so grateful that I had this opportunity. Thank you Endobariatric Team and Dr. Alvarez!

It is hard to believe that in a few days I will reach 5 months post op. What’s more difficult to grasp is that I am 15 pounds away from my goal of 140 pounds! What? I embrace the tool Dr A gave me every day. I work on the mental stuff too every day. I know some day I will reach that goal and maybe even exceed it. Either way, I am a completely healthier me! For that reason alone, I am utterly and completely happy! Thank you Dr A and thank you Endo team!

I struggled my whole life with obesity. Finally at 52 I knew I needed the help to get on the path to a healthier life. I researched and saved and finally on Valentine’s Day I was give the tool by Dr. Alvarez and Endo Hospital. He is simply the best and has assembled the best team and built the most amazing facility, hospital, and hotel. I put my faith in him and here I am just 5 weeks out and I feel fantastic. I know I will be successful. I am down about 35 pounds, I exercise 4 days a week and I eat healthy. If you are in need of help with your struggles with your weight please look no further than Dr. Alvarez at Endo Hospital. There is no better surgeon and no better path to a healthier longer life.

After many Years of frustration of trying my Best to loose weight on my own I am Greatful God has led me to Doctor Alvarez & His team to shape in me a tool (sleeve stomace) to help assist & Guide me in my weightloss journey. I'll admit before the Surgery I was kinda scared because I do Not know spanish but Dr. A's team knew both spanish & English & that calmed me. My experience at the Endohospital was very Good because everyone was friendly & made me feel welcomed,
& comfortable, & everything was so clean. Doctor G. Alvarez Doesn't Stop after the Surgery is done, I had questions when I went home after Surgery & Dr. A answered all my emails back. Thank You Doctor Guillermo Alvarez I am able to continue in my weightloss journey with determination in winning this Battle, sence the Surgery I been able to sleep at Night & able to feel little things here & there changing in my life (both in my physical & emotional Health) this was one of the Best Decision I've made in my life for my Health! (I'm excited to compare my before, during & after Pictures thought out my journey).

I can not begin to tell you how wonderful Dr. Alverez and his team are. Everyone there went above and beyond what I thought was possible. My mom thought I was crazy for going to Mexico to have surgery, so she went with me. She is now one of Dr. Alverez’s biggest fans, she tells anyone who will listen how fantastic he and his team are! I am down 50 lbs and counting I have a whole new lease on life and feel better than I have in years! Thank you and your team for everything! Please don’t hesitate for a second to use Dr. Alverez and his team to start your new life!
