Reviews and Ratings

“Fantastic surgeon. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. I had to call him to ask him something about my diabetes medicine a week after the surgery, and he answered his own phone! I got plenty of education about my procedure and how to proceed with my post op diet. The staff was great and very professional. I can’t recommend him highly enough! It was a wonderful experience.” – Review from ObesityHelp

“I had my lap band surgery on 06/15/07 with Dr. Zapata. My impression of Dr. Zapata was that he was a very caring surgeon that truly cared about his patient and their overall health. His staff in Mexico and here in the US are wonderful. They are always available by phone or email and respond quickly. I did not like that I would not get to see Dr. Zapata again, but that was a consequence of choosing to have the surgery in Mexico. And I did get to see him again at a bash his company sponsored. Seeing him reaffirmed my impressions of him in Mexico.” – Review from ObesityHelp
