    Default Dr.Almanza

    I am scheduled with him. I had initially heard about the news stories and questioned it and was told that he was never found to be in the wrong so he was never stopped from doing surgeries. I asked about changing docotors and they said if I want there is no problem switching me to Dr.Hernandez. Anyone in here who used Dr.Almanaza want to share their experiences? Did you have complications, was it from his error or lack of following doctors orders? I’m trying to decide if I should witch.

    My friend used DR. Almanza in 2017. She was also aware of this issues. She didn’t have any problems. I almost used him and was also told I could switch surgeons but it would cost more. From what I gathered a lot of the issues were typical complications anyone is at risk for. Anyone can have leaks, blood clots, and infections regardless of the surgeon. If you aren’t comfortable I loved my surgeon and the hospital he uses looks like a spa. It was awesome and within the same price range.

    I used him. My daughter used him. A very good friend of mine and his six brothers used him and at least six or seven others who I am acquainted with all used him with no complications what so ever.

    As always, do your own research.
