NO!!! But I wish I knew about him because I LIVE in sugarland!! HAHAHA
I'm going to Mexico in 3 weeks to have mine done by Dr. Almanza's partner; Dr. Velazquez !! :-)
Type his name in the "search" bar and forums will come up about him
Pam,
Would you recommend your doctor? Even though I'm in central California now, I'm afraid by the time I get approved, I will have retired and moved. My husband and I are planning to move to the Cypress, TX area to be near our son and his family as soon as we retire at the end of this year. In case I haven't had my surgery by then, I would love to get recommendations for Bariatric surgeons in the area. Even if I have had surgery, I may need to find a doctor for follow-up care. I appreciate your in-put.

Cypress is WAY far from Sugar Land. I wouldn't recommend him though, if you're looking for a comprehensive bariatric experience. go to TLC or one of the big bari centers that provide nutrition and emotional support. My guy is a general surgeon, so he's considered a 'sleeve em and leave em' doc.

Dr. Dexter Turnquest did my surgery. He is very experienced and super nice.
I am in Cypress also. I am currently waiting on approval from BCBS to set a surgery date with Dr. Ferrari. He is very thorough.
Best it only takes me about 35 min to get to his office and hospital.
What hospital does he work out or does he have his own center
