Dr. Valencia, you have made my new journey so easy. I can never truly describe how wonderful of a time I had going to have surgery with you.

You made me feel at peace before the surgery, as the surgery began, and after the surgery. Your care for me was so far over and beyond any care that I would have received anywhere in the United States.

As a registered nurse for over 29 years, I have very high standards when it comes to healthcare. I found Dr. Valencia to be very compassionate, knowledgeable, and current in his knowledge. I immediately felt confident allowing him to do my surgery.

IF YOU ARE HAVING A SURGICAL INTERVENTION...YOU MUST BE IN GOOD HANDS!!

There are almost twenty three million Morbidly Obese patients in the U.S. that need to have surgery, most of them anxious of finding a definitive solution for their illness.

It is not a secret that demand for Bariatric Surgery is increasing and waiting lists are growing longer week-by-week.

If you search the World Wide Web, and we have no doubt you constantly do it, you can find dozens of new Bariatric Surgery Teams and weight loss surgery centers every day.

Although every General Surgeon is supposed to be trained in an experienced Weight loss Surgery Center before he performs Bariatric Surgery, it's advisable for any patient to undergo this delicate procedure with a well known surgeon accepted as a member of a recognized international Bariatric Society , with at least one year experience and a minimum of 30 to 50 operated patients under his record.

Dr. Alvaro Valencia MD , our chief surgeon for Weight Loss Surgery, has a 15 year experience as a Laparoscopic Surgeon, and a 4 year experience with Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery. He has performed Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery on more than 580 patients without mortalities and with a lower than average complication rate.

He was trained in Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery at the "9th of July Hospital / Dante Pazzanese Experimental Surgery Center" in Sao Paulo, Brazil. (Click here to see certificate)

He has also attended several courses and symposiums concerning Laparoscopic Surgery and Bariatric Surgery. (See Certficates)

Dr. Valencia MD is a member of the American Society of Bariatric Surgery (ASBS) (Click here to see certificate) and he is also a member of the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) and the European Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ESPEN).

Dr. Valencia MD is always assisted in surgery by another two Bariatric surgeons, Dr. Andres Ospina MD, and Dr. Humberto Jimenez MD, both of which are also members of ASBS.

Dr. Valencia MD has been a professor in surgery of some of the most prestigious Universities in our country. He is also the Chief Surgeon of the Bariatric Surgery Team at the Reina Sofía Clinic in our city, which is one of the newest and most modern private hospitals in the region.

Dr. Valencia MD constantly participates in continuing medical education courses and he attends to most of the international medical symposiums and meetings organized by IFSO and ASBS.
