When first heard of Dr. Huacuz onhis web side Certifiedbariatricsurgeons.com . I contacted several patients who had listed him as their surgeon. Everyone had wonderful things to say about him, his staff and his clinic. I contacted the office to get information about the surgery, the cost, the care, etc. Dr. Huacuz called me personally which really surprised me, as I had never had a US physician do that. We talked about specific things about the surgery and he answered all my questions, I choose to have the Vertical Sleeve. Once I decided to use him as my surgeon, I mainly spoke with Rosie. We spoke on the phone was well as email. The clinic is beautiful, modern and clean. The staff is friendly and attentive. I speak a little Spanish so I was anxious to practice my Spanish with the staff. They all speak very food English though. Dr. Huacuz has great bedside manner. I saw him at least once every day. Usually more than once, if he was not in the clinic, he was only a phone call away. He actually drove us himself to have our fluoroscopy. He gave us his cell phone number to call him if we had any questions or problems once we got home. I have emailed the office a couple of times since my surgery just to let them know how well I am doing, but I have not had any reply from them, but if I really wanted to get a hold from them, I could call Dr. Huacuz is highly skilled, very caring, and I would recommend him to anyone considering WLS. In fact, I plan to go back to him for my tummy tuck once I lose all my weight.
