    Not when I was there, it was a nice place, I was there again in July of this year, I had went for dental work at another place, but dropped by to show my progress to the staff, and they had just done a renovation on the OR suite, everything looked fine to me.

    I went to almanza on friday- it was clean. basic and clean. one of the other patients felt differently - but went on to say they were from Boca Raton and so used to all the trappings- that cost you! I would go back.

    I went to almanza- on friday the 12th. I was the first of the day. there were 12. biggest day for him in a long while- but he handled it well. everything went so smoothly.I went for cost. I appreciated and noticed that they were keeping things basic for price. I'd go back to him in a second.

    I'm going in 17 days, I'm so excited, nervous mostly about how to adjust to eating, going back to work. I'm a trooper and very strong, but my willpower with food isn't. How are you all doing post surgery? Does your taste buds really change? Anyone notice increase in sensitivity to smells of food?
    Congrats, and I wish you all great success, health, and happiness!! Thanks in advance for any advice!

    He was my surgeon. His full name is Dr. Sergio Quinones, and he works out of Tijuana.

    Best recommendation is to do your research, keep asking and looking all over. I dough any of us would speak badly about our doctors unless we had something wrong or unexpected happen.

    I consulted with several of these doctors, the advantage of living in the San Diego area and having been born in TJ, so I actually had an advantage over most people that live far away.

    They all seem like pretty good doctors but the one I got the best vibe from was Dr. Lopez. That is why I choose him.

    Eight months latter, I don't regret my choice and I thank my family and my doctor every time I see myself in the mirror!
