Ramos Kelly, MD, FACS Reviews From Patients
Reviews of Dr. Ramos Kelly's work is quite illuminating, highlighting his conscientiousness and his empathy for obesity. During his career in bariatrics, Dr. Ramos Kelly, has preformed over 7,000 bariatric surgeries and has maintained a perfect 5/5 rating from dozens of patient reviews on ObesityHelp. Here are a sample of his latest reviews:
He is the most sincere, personable man I think I've ever met. He has no problem just putting everything aside and sitting down with you and making sure that all your needs are met, questions answered, and that you are as comfortable as can be. Most doctors I know are just concerned about your money and how fast they can get you in and out. That's totally not the case with Dr. Kelly. I was just sleeved 3 days ago, still currently in the hotel. My experience has been great! - Review From ObesityHelp user blessedahf - September 22, 2011
Dr. Kelly is a very knowledgeable, experienced, professional and caring surgeon with a perfect balance of compassion, humor and great bedside disposition. I received the gastric sleeve surgery this past week from Dr. Kelly with no complications and thankfully in my case very little discomfort! I researched the Dr's in Mexico inside and out and found that Dr. Kelly was by far the best choice for me. - Review From ObesityHelp user slimcin - September 17, 2011
