Audencio Alanis
"My first impression of Dr. Alanis was formed when I went to his office for other reasons besides WLS. I overheard people talking in the lobby and when my husband and I got back into the exam room, I had to ask him what the heck he did other than general surgery and that is when he explained the proceedure. That was in April 2002. My impression of Dr. Alanis just got better over time, he was vary concerned about my problem that I went to see him for before the WLS, that is one reason I contacted him after I had my hemroidectomy in August. His staff is vary helpful and informed, but they do seem to be short handed, when it comes to call backs, it usually takes a day to get the call back with voice mail, that may change because they have moved into a new building and probably will be adding employees. At this time (1/10/03) I ahve no negative things to say about Dr. Alanis himself, just that his office seems to be short staffed. Dr. Alanis really cares, it seems his bedside manner is like family, he really cares. My father came in from Ohio for my surgery, and wasnt too thrilled about it, Dr. Alanis spent 15-20 minutes with him in the waiting room of the hospital and my Dad now says he is the best surgeon to have and was not worried at all. Dr. Alanis REALLY stresses the use of the support groups that are offered from his office, they meet every wednesday night and then once on saturdays. I have attended these support groups and they are vary helpful and informative. Dr. Alanis was straight up with the risks involved, but I felt so comfortable with him, that the outcome over came any of the risks. I know it is hard to beleive that anyone could have a perfect rating, the only thing that brings this rating down from 100% to 95% is the office staff being short handed and the call backs not happening promptly, other than that I would say surgery wise and doctor wise, I would recommend Dr. Alanis without any hesitation. Both surgical and bedside manner with Dr. Alanis is WONDERFUL!! I thank him and the good Lord for my second chance at life!!"

"The nurses in ICU and the floor nurses were GREAT, I plan on going back to visit around Memorial day which will be a few months after my surgery."
