Audencio Alanis
"I first went to Dr Alanis after my cardiologist diagnosed me with heart arrythmia in April of 2002. I met with him, we talked for a while about my family and my medical history....he is very good at putting you at ease...and also very good about not lying to you. He told me straight out what the major risks were, most of this scared me and almost made me change my mind. I thought he should be trying to "sell" the surgery to me, but instead he was quite graphic about what could happen. As part of the surgery, he asks that all his patients attend a weekly support meeting, these meetings are not manditory, but he does STRONGLY suggest them. He also gives you a schedule for your aftercare visits so that you knoww when you have to come back for check ups. The one thing that I didnt like about him is that if you have an appointment at 3:15 you dont even get seen until after 5. I was there for over 3 hours my last pre-op visit. But, I have to say, that of all the people that I have met that have had the surgery, I and other Dr Alanis patients have the best incisions. Mine looks like a scratch more than a cut.(I had the open surgery). It looks like it's going to heal without leaving much of a scar behind. If I had to do this all over again..I would use Dr Alanis again!!!"
