I have no words for this review. Dr. Basa saved my life and I am forever grateful. I was on the fence at first but now I realized this was the best decision I ever made…

I have no words for this review. Dr. Basa saved my life and I am forever grateful. I was on the fence at first but now I realized this was the best decision I ever made. The office and doctors are very friendly and care about their patients. I almost went somewhere else before coming here and you were just a number there not to mention the doctor does not even live or work in the area (he was from Dallas). They have a fool proof plan that is easy to follow and offer their own products (protein powders, vitamins, etc) which makes it easier to obtain and keep track. All health issues have went away and I am my healthiest in years. I am now 80 pounds down and still going. I highly, highly recommend Dr Basa or Dr. Abando. Thank you both!!!

Eve G.
Dr Abando is an excellent surgeon with amazing bedside manner. My first experience with him he literally saved my life. Each experience since has been wonderful. My older son sees him as well for abdominal issues and loves him just as much and I refer him to every friend I have needing some kind of abdominal surgery. His staff are kind and efficient. I highly suggest using him.
