Hello....That is who I have decided to go with... I was very skeptical at first of going through True Results, especially since I couldn't find a lot of information about the surgeon. I had this idea in my head that it was sort of a chop shop, like they get you in and out as quickly as possible and then drop you. My opinion has completely changed. I did some research here and through Google and the things that I did find on Dr. Esquivel were all positive. I also fell in love with the staff at the clinic. I also like the aftercare and support program that they offer. Everyone that I have encountered at the clinic has been really great and really helpful. They have answered all of my questions and taken as much time with me as I needed. I have scheduled surgery for May 5th and get to meet him on April 28th for my pre-op. At that time, if I do not like him or do not feel comfortable with him then I will cancel my surgery. I don't like the fact that I don't get to meet him until a week before the surgery but hopefully it will be ok. I would love to hear other peoples comments about him if you have them.

I am also going through true results. They are sending in my information to the insurance company on Wednesday and then I have to wait.... I got to meet him at the informational seminar, but have not seen very much information good or bad about him. I have my psych, sleep study, nutrition and EKG scheduled for April 21st. They said it would take about 3 weeks to hear back from the insurance company.
