Valley Care Medical, Pleasanton, Ca

[Missy V 477 7]

Hi! I'm a sleeve hopeful and wondering if anyone has been to Valley Care in Pleasanton? I have an appointment there because that is who my insurance will cover. I have heard from my insurance that they do many procedures but wanted to hear from others what they thought.
