My daughter and I went to OCC in 2004. It was wonderful!! We LOVE Dr. Ortiz....We went to Dr. Almanza June 2012. We really like him too....and our surgery was really good. Yes there was post op discomfort but your going to have that no matter. The place was fine. Your not going to live there... just a few days and then your home. We have both had great success with our sleeve. I think you will receive great care and results with either one of these doctors. We did !!!! NOW... If money is not a problem for you.... go to OCC....It is nicer... but if it is an issue... you will do fine with Dr Almanza....
