Patient Reviews
Jul 10, 2024
Dr. V was the 3rd bariatric surgeon I met with for RNY sleeve revision. He put me at ease immediately. He was very thorough and answered every question. He was honest about possible issues. The surgery went perfectly. I have since had two follow up appts. My recovery has been slower because of pre-existing issues with nerve pain, but the actual healing from the surgery has been perfect. I’m not the easiest patient because I have anxiety, but Dr. V took everything in stride. Eight weeks out, I am thriving. My BP and bloodwork is normal, the pain is gone, I’m down 40 pounds, and my energy level has skyrocketed. Not to mention everyone I know is losing it over my progress. Dr. V is the best at what he does, so his singular focus is solving the issue with laser precision and keeping you on track with recovery. His team is also amazing. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Dr. Vallina again with no hesitation.
