emwei3 9 Posted February 13, 2015 I am getting close to scheduling my surgery through aLighterMe and had decided to first go with Dr. Elias Ortiz, but I'm considering Dr. Jose Curiel Marchena instead since he a has a little bit of a lower price. He appears to have a lot of credentials and experience, but I'm not able to find much about him online - reviews and patient experiences. Has anyone used him before? Did you have any complications or issues? Thanks so much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerioki 11 Posted February 13, 2015 I am scheduled with Dr. Curiel on Feb 25.im confident in my choice by the reviews I did find.He does have videos on YouTube.There is also some threads on obesity boards with nothing but great things to say about him.he only performs a few surgeries a day. I will follow up with you after surgery if you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emwei3 9 Posted February 13, 2015 Rocky1, great points! I will research his credentials a bit more before switching surgeons. Thanks! @ That would be great! Thank you! I'll look on YouTube as well. Sonya Skinner included his information in her first email to me, so I thought that it couldn't hurt to check into it. Good luck and a quick recovery on your surgery!
