Jokiedoe 3 Posted April 16, 2013 Wearmyheartonmysleeve, I have done a lot off looking at Dr. Lopez I am comfortable with his credentials. There are a lot of really good reviews, an he has a good % rating for no leaks. I have read a couple of not so good experiences the last week, my heart goes out to them, I hope each of them may have a speedy recovery and put it behind them and start their wonderful journey with a beautiful out come. But what I read in their posts was that the trouble was not with the Dr. It was more to do with scheduling an miss communications, both said the Dr. had done a good job. But the trouble was at the hospital and coordinators. I am sill confident in my choice in Dr. Lopez and Alighterme. I have not had any trouble with getting ahold of ALM and all an Q's answered in a timely manner, I hope that it does not change when payment is made in full. An as for Mexico, yes there are culture differences. But it is culture it has nothing to do with capabilities. I personally plan on taking some wound care stuff just in case it's needed. My husband will be going with me. Add yes my surgery in on 23 may 13 but we fly into San Diego around noon on the 22 may 13. Feel free to contact me any time at jokiedoe@yahoo.com 1 WEARMYHEARTONMYSLEEVE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cerenatee 90 Posted April 18, 2013 Hi, I'm earlier than you - I'm on May 8th - but I'm going with ALM and Dr. Lopeq also. What negative things have people read? Everyone keeps saying that but I've only seen one negative comment and it wasn't that bad to me. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
