*HELP* Dr. Altamirano or Dr. Zavalza?

[Mr. Michael 5]

I wanted to let anyone know who read this thread that I too decided to go with Dr. Altamirano after doing a lot of research and visiting the support group on Facebook.< /p>

Best choice. I had surgery 10 days ago and he found a massive hernia I did not know was there. He fixed it and here I am feeling great and losing weight well. But he is the nicest most honestly caring docs I have ever met. Good luck!!!

I've been researching and trying to decide on a surgeon.  I went to Dr. A's website and looked at the pictures.

 

Honestly, this is where I was kind of turned off by Dr. A.  There are several photos up that I think are in bad taste, and seeing these pictures of his website makes me question his maturity.

 

Specifically I'm referring to the photos of the stomach after its has been removed.  There are several photos of him holding it in his hand and dangling it next to him.  There is a picture of him cradling it in his arms like a baby.  There is a photos where they're holding the stomach next to a stuffed animal, and another picture where the stomach is on a table next to a (dirty looking) white iPhone.

 

Help me out folks.  Are these photos showing that Dr. A is immature, or am I just overreacting, OR a combination of both?

 

It is just wry humor. Most healthcare professionals joke behind the scenes. I wouldn't take it as anything personal or as note of one's character. Sometimes you just have to laugh
