While deciding who to have my surgery with, a close family friend recommended Dr. Betances. I spoke with him and his team and decided to travel to have my surgery with him without even knowing him (honestly, I was afraid I wouldn't feel comfortable), but 5 minutes after meeting him, I felt like I'd known him my whole life. Seeing his professionalism, his experience and knowledge, and his kind treatment didn't make me hesitate for a minute to have my surgery with him.
I entered the operating room weighing 276 pounds, and today, a year later, 116 pounds lighter (I'm 10 pounds away from my goal), without any fear of being wrong, I have to say that it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.
I was treated by a wonderful team, and the administrative staff provided unparalleled treatment. Dr. Maximiliano, the anesthesiologist, was very professional, explaining every step and making me feel at ease. Dr. Betances was a sweetheart; he treated me very well with great care and dedication, answering my 5,500 questions (he's got to be asking a separate question). Dr. Nidia, who guided me and changed my mindset toward healthy eating. In short, everyone is an incredible team and made my experience fearless, calm, and incredibly confident in the decision I was making. Thank you, my life is different!!!
