Obesity Control Center - The Obesity Control Center is the world leader in weight-loss surgeries

I have to say, from the very beginning of our experience with Dr. Ortiz and the Obesity Control Center, we were completely impressed with everything! Every step in the process was so easy and your facilities are wonderful.

As the wife of a surgeon, I have been around the medical field for most of my life. I’m aware of the standards of care that are required and I know what excellence is. That is why I am so pleased with my experience. It is clear that you pay attention to every detail in order to put your patients at ease…and it works! The day of the surgery, I wasn’t nervous at all.

You have a great program from start to finish. In fact, my mom wants to come down to your clinic and have the procedure done as well. I’m trying to make sure she gets as informed as possible, but she is anxious to get it done soon.

We also appreciated so much the absolute kindness you showed my husband. He is very fond of all of you and was equally impressed with your program, facilities, and staff. He really enjoyed watching the lap-band procedures and the fills the next day. He said he learned so much and was grateful for the experience as well. He also very much enjoyed the incredible dinner with you too. Sharing the Mexican cuisine, the Mariachi band, and great conversation is something he appreciated so much and will never forget.

I’m so glad you had the vision to do lower BMIs. I think the United State has absolutely the wrong idea about that. It is so smart to offer the procedure before people get deathly ill—literally. I am now two weeks post-op and though the liquid diet is hard, it’s amazing to recognize the behavioral changes it forces.

Thanks so much for everything. I’m really looking forward to the greater quality of life that you have made possible for me.
