    Dr. Marcela del Carmen is wonderful, very kind, and professional in every way. The nurses are helpful, explain things, and are friendly. The whole team is empathetic. The only person who wasn't very empathetic was the one who took my blood samples in the lab; perhaps because of the workload and the speed at which she had to work, she couldn't be particularly kind that day. But overall, I'm very happy to be in the hands of such a professional team as Dr. Marcela del Carmen. Thank you.

    Dr. Del Carmen is an excellent doctor. I've been followed by her for some time. She remembers everything. She's absolutely excellent in every way. She listens and she hears what you say and she is just full of information and most of all, she's kind and lovely and just very sweet the way she talks about difficult subjects with me.

    From the very first minutes when I came to speak with Dr. Del Carmen in her office, I felt in my gut that I would choose Dr. Del Carmen to be my surgeon. She patiently explained, step by step, what the operation would entail, asked if I understood what she was saying, what recuperation would look like and follow-up care, and finally did I have any more questions. She even entertained questions , by way of a conference call, with my son and my daughter. All I had to do was show up and I'm very glad I did.
