Has Anyone had surgery by Dr. Alberto Aceves?

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Aceves. He is kind and a great surgeon. I researched him for about 6 months and tried to find out anything bad that I could about him. Wasn't able to find anything (and I looked hard!). I called several of his patients and they raved and raved him.

But the thing that sold me was his nurse coordinator Nina. She is amazing. She was so patient and kind and answered a bazillion questions for me the months prior to me having surgery (and after my surgery!).

I've been banded for two and half months now and really don't have any reason to be in contact with their office any more since I go to a Dr. here in the states for my fills. But just yesterday I got an email from Nina out of the blue saying that she was thinking of me during this hard time (my mom has cancer) and wanted to know how I was doing. I've never had anybody in the medical field give me that kind of follow up and personal care.

I also have her and Dr. Aceves phone numbers in case anything ever goes wrong with instructions to call any time night or day if I"m having a problem.

I can't express how much the means to me. I've never felt alone or scared during this whole process. Any time I have a question I just email or call Nina and she gets back to me ASAP. They are both amazing.

Ok I'll stop but I seriously love them and am so happy that I went with Dr. Aceves for my band.

Good luck and please feel free to email me if you have any questions or just want to know more about Dr. Aceves.

Oh also Dr. Aceves has a yahoo group if you are interested. Good luck!

I ditto everything said above. I was banded 08-16-07 by Dr. Aceves and team. The hospital is cleaner than what I've seen here in the USA. The attention from staff is professioanl, competent, very polite and interested. I had no complications, two fills, and am doing fine two years out.
