"It's an excellent option; the doctor has extensive knowledge on the subject, provides follow-up and explanations to the patient, and adapts to their needs. His techniques are minimally invasive, and he works holistically to achieve the patient's goal."
"EXCELLENT!! I had gastric sleeve surgery. Doctor, I'm very happy with the results, no pain at all. He took our pre-operative consultation into account. In short, very satisfied!! Thank you, doctor!! 😘🙏"
"I am very satisfied with the results I have achieved just two months after my surgery. The changes have been not only physical but also related to my health. The care provided by all the specialists has been excellent. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Enrique Pliego for his attentiveness before, during, and after the surgery. It truly was a wonderful choice."
"Hello, I feel very grateful and happy about my entire process before and after surgery. Dr. Enrique and his entire team were always supportive, clarifying my doubts, addressing my discomforts, and resolving any issues. They were always very attentive and helpful. The care from his entire team—nutrition, psychology, and Dr. Enrique himself—was outstanding. I highly recommend him without a doubt. It was the best choice I could have made, as he is very compassionate and not solely focused on profit. He examines you, checks you, orders tests to see if you are a candidate, and is concerned about and covers all possible areas to ensure the best decision and the best possible surgery for each person. It's been 56 days since my surgery, and I feel very well. I haven't yet fully resumed my daily life, but the recovery has been wonderful thanks to Dr. Enrique and his care! The hospital staff were so kind; they covered my legs with special bandages to prevent any type of clotting and gave me a breathing apparatus to help me breathe more easily 🥰🙏🏻 I'm sharing before and after photos of myself, 56 days post-surgery 🙏🏻 I highly recommend Dr. Enrique Pliego ❤️☺️"
"He is a very professional doctor, incredibly approachable, kind, and friendly. He gives you all the information and attention you need. He has an interdisciplinary team that works closely with him on a protocol (nutrition, psychology, and internal medicine). They run tests and analyze your specific condition to ensure you're in the best possible shape for surgery. During my hospital stay, he was very attentive to every detail to ensure my optimal recovery. He discharged me as soon as he saw my progress. Since the surgery, he has been very attentive to my follow-up and maintains excellent communication with me, as does his interdisciplinary team. He has made me feel very calm and comfortable."
