"When I first met Dr. Juarez, I was Impressed by the seminar that he presented. I also thought that he was a no nonsense type of Doctor, and He was. He got me my surgery as soon as I was ready. He is very likeable and personable. I enjoyed my experience with the nurses also. They were very very helpful, and empathetic. I had a very positive experience with Dr. Juarez in all. The one negative thing that I could say is I didn't like the therapist he had me go to. Tabitha Stewart. She is over cautious, and wasn't upfront with me. She told me that she thought I was ready for the surgery, then told the doctor,that I should have 4 weeks of counceling, and I should take anti-depressants. After a second opion( and an extra $275 dollars), I was aloud to have my surgery. By the way, the second opion didn't think I was more depressed than anyone else who was morbidly obese!"
