Mr Almerie performed a Roux En Y full gastric bypass for me. We had discussed this in detail to determine that this was to be the best operation for me based on my health and circumstances. Mr Almerie was incredibly professional and kind, and treated me with dignity and respect.

Mr Almerie performed the bypass operation on my Neice. He was amazing and the operation went extremely well, far better than we could have imagined. I was with my Neice every step of the way and he included me in all conversations. Mr Almerie was totally professional.
