Alvarado Hospital

"at the time of my admission the bariatric floor was being renovated...so bathrooms were smaller on the floor i was on, I had one nurse that was so attentive I thought for sure i was her only patient...she made me feel that way thanks RANA S. !! The hospital staff for the most part were friendly and encouraging, however there are a few nurses and nurse aides that should be retrained....long story....overall if you go--make sure RANA is your nurse!!!"

"WOW!! Just to have her call you to review with you your history was like talking to a family member...so very professional and her background in bariatric surgery is tops...believe me I researched all physicians and her reputation is the best!!rnrnHer office staff-from reception to insurance and her wonderful nurses were all very professional and always quick with a response regarding everything from insurance coverage to medical questions...no waiting at all.rnrnAll future bariatric patients should know this...rnShe cares. She listens. Her goal is to make the most of your life with the gift of bypass surgery...She has saved my life and added years to it...rnrnHer aftercare program is very structured and she actively participates in it..from phone callsrnto visits to the support groups out of town when she lectures in the area..rnShe is very upfront about the risks involved,rnand wants to make sure you are comfortable and aware how the surgery is performed even up to the tools used...and she provides the guidlines and tools to help you use your new tool...making sure you are aware that its not magic....you do have to participate!!rnShe is the only bariatric surgeon i will ever recommend....I only accept the best!! And believe me if she was trained in, cardiology-orthopedics, spine specialties--she would be my top notch surgeon to go to for all surgeries!!!rnHer bedside manner is fantastic! She talks to you not at you and its truly obvious she enjoys seeing the life changes going on with her patients....she says she's with me for life....rnI believe it!!rnrn"
