fireman0750 5 Posted February 23, 2013 I have a dillema which Dr do I choose? I have a surgery date with Dr Almanza but have read a lot of bad things on here. My wife had a good experience with them. I have read a lot of good things about Dr Garcia and could go there on the same date. Dr Garcia only schedules 4 or so a day. We called the Jereusalem Clinic yesterday and they couln't tell us how many they have scheduled for that day. So my question is if it were you which would you go to.

COnative 192 Posted February 23, 2013 That is the million dollar question in some ways. I started the process with one doctor (Aceves) and then went to my second choice (Alvarez) to have the surgery. I really just followed my heart BUT with being said, I also met with the doctor a month before surgery just to make sure I still felt good with my decision. And I think it is to your advantage that your wife had a good experience. I actually think that speaks louder than anything else. I wish you the best, the decision is not easy, but soon you will be on your journey post-surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireman0750 5 Posted February 24, 2013 Well I made the decision to switch to Dr Fernando Garcia. I get the feeling that Dr Almanza is trying to push to many patients through in one day. I called earlier today to find out how many are having surgery the 20th of March. Weight loss agents said that they couldn't tell me but not to worry. I was already a little uneasy so I checked with Dr Fernando Garcia and talked to Alma at Ready for a Change. I was told that Dr Garcia only does 4 a day and the conditions sound better and so does the hotel stay. I have paid my deposit and will still have my surgery on the 20th of March. I feel more comfortable now that I made the change and would love to hear from anyone else who has had any experiences with Dr Garcia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizy0916 18 Posted February 24, 2013 Fireman good decision, I leave in San Diego few minutes from border. I would definitely choose Dr. Fernando Garcia never never Dr. Almanza. My aunt & her friend got surgery with Dr. Garcia good choice. If I don't get approved by my insurance here in California I will do it in TJ good luck.
