I researched hospitals and doctors for over 2 years before I settled on Dr. Alvarez and Endobariatric. I cannot express how amazed I was with the whole experience. Dr. Alvarez, his team and the facilities are all world class! I get nothing from writing this review other than the hope I can save my fellow weight challenged brothers and sisters a lot of time and work trying to weed out the serious professionals from the dangerous fly by night outfits out there. I had no complications of any kind and have yet to hear anyone say a bad word about Dr. A or his staff. He is known to his patience as Dr. A. I am a member of his private Facebook group which is just one of the amazing tools they offer as support. He will become your friend not just your surgeon. You can tell as soon as you meet him that he is genuine and this field is not only his passion but his life. He is one of only 12 doctors in the world with the Master Bariatric Surgeon designation so that is a good indication of his dedication to his profession. If you are considering weight loss surgery please google or contact Endobariatric.com and check them out. It may just change your life like it did for me! I wish you good luck in your weight loss journey and I hope this information was helpful.
Getting into the talented hands of Dr. Alvarez and the amazing team at Endobariatric was a long journey. I suffered ever worsening obesity since the birth of my children and tried everything, I mean EVERYTHING, to return to a healthy weight.
Then my sister and her whole family found Dr. Alvarez. I watched all of their lives transform and was finally ready to take that step. Everything went superbly. The surgeon and his team were world-class professionally but also compassionate. The facility was immaculate. I’m a Deputy Health Officer and have inspected well-rated facilities that can’t hold a candle to the Endohospital. I am on my journey now with more to come. Placing my care with Dr. Alvarez was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.

Dr. Alvarez has forever changed my life by giving me the chance to be healthy and confident once again. Him and all his staff made my stay very enjoyable, comfortable and safe. There has not been a single question that I have asked Dr. A eve post surgery that he personally does not respond to. The quality of care and top of the line technology they utilize at EndoHospital is unbelievable. I fully recommend Dr. A and his staff for your life changing experience. Thank you Dr. A!
Definitivamente lo mejor que me pudo haber pasado fue encontrar el Dr Alvarez y poder contar con su elegante trabajo, no solo de el también de todo su equipo de trabajo, en especial el de La señorita Lourdes y la señorita Sofía, pero todos todos hacen un excelente trabajo, es un procedimiento que no está exento de ser riesgoso pero creo que el Doctor Alvarez y todo su equipo lo tienen todo muy bien premeditado para que sea un procedimiento sencillo, sin dolor y todo un exito.
Lo recomiendo 100% , creo que si no es el mejor esta dentro de ellos sin dejar de evaluar a todo su tin medico, Si estás pensando hacer una Manga gastrica, no lo piense 2 veces para escoger el Doctor Alvarez y las comodidades de su acoger Hospital, te dan la gran posibilidad de transportarte sin tener que manejar, contando con la eficiente chofer Roxi y su hermosa amabilidad y buena conducción, la muchacha de la cocina que lamentablemente no recuerdo su nombre pero es muy buena, eficiente y hace unas sopas de vegetales muy ricas, como olvidarlas si llegue con muchísimo hambre y podía comer toda la que quisiera, no se me puede olvidar el Señor Román, tan atento y servicial, tomamos un licuado de mango sabroso que nos encargó. A parte de ser una cirugía, todo ese equipo te hace sentir como en casa. Dios los bendiga a todos y puedan seguir ayudando como a mi, a muchas personas más. Bendiciones . Felices fiestas. MARIUSKA
I had vsg 12-22-2018. I started out 342 lbs. I had tried every diet, pill, fad to lose weight but nothing stuck. I finally decided for vsg with dr Alvarez after a million questions. his staff is awesome! The hospital is the cleanest I have ever seen and was cared for around the clock exceptionally! Dr Alvarez answered all of my questions and concerns and although I was scared to have surgery he helped calm my fears and helped make the entire process as painless as possible. My only regret is not having done sooner I'm still losing. Currently at 260 lbs but went from 24/26 size to 14/16 size. I am a slow loser but I feel healthy and at my latest doctor visit all bloodwork shows normal. I've been off my meds for diabetes since surgery, I had been on a pill and a daily shot. No need for blood pressure meds anymore either. My doctor was very impressed. I've lost so many inches and every time I see anyone that it's been a while , they are always shocked. I dont mind taking pictures anymore and I now finally love to shop. Inside I'm changing and feel like the old me is leaving forever. I'm on my way to the best version of myself. Endobariatrics and Dr Alvarez are the best choice for care , hands down
In the fall of 2018 I was at the end of my rope. I was extremely depressed and felt hopeless, once again at my highest weight, having tried EVERY diet you can imagine only to gain it back, plus more each time. This was my pattern for 30+ years! I came across some pictures of a friend on social media that I hadn't seen in awhile and could tell she had lost a large amount of weight. In yet another attempt to find something that would work for me, I reached out to her to find out how she had been successful in her loss. She shared with me that she went to Dr. Alvarez for gastric sleeve surgery 7 months prior and had lost almost 100 pounds! I was intrigued as she shared what an amazing experience it was, and how she had done a copious amount of research, deciding to choose Dr. Alvarez given his credentials, long history of success, and the personalized attention and care he and his team provide every patient. I went home that evening and researched all I could find on Dr. Alvarez and was extremely impressed myself. The very next day I submitted my application for gastric sleeve surgery, and within 24 hours, Dr. Avalrez' team had gotten back to me to let me know I was approved and the process began. Dr. Alvarez and his staff take such good care of me prior to, during and post surgery - they have amazing support and respond to every question in an extremely timely manner! Though I live across the country from Dr. Alvarez, I traveled alone for my surgery (as many of his patients have) and never once in the process did I feel alone. Dr. Alvarez and his staff are there every step of the way, guiding you through the entire process. I reached my goal weight in 6 months, and have maintained that loss for for almost 7 months since my surgery and could not be more thrilled! I highly recommend Dr. Alvarez if you are considering gastric sleeve surgery and want only the best care you can find!

There aren't enough words to describe how thankful I am for Dr. A and his amazing staff at Endobariatrics. I made the life changing decision to have VSG done last year, October 2018. My only regret was not having it done sooner. This facility is top notch and his staff go above and beyond to ensure your safety, comfort, and happiness. I will forever hold a special place in my heart for all of them. Thank you Dr. A for this amazing tool and a second chance at life.
