"I was impressed with Dr. Beltre when I first met him at his seminar. I had been to other seminars and the surgeon had seemed unapproachable. Dr. Beltre was warm and talked to you not at you. His nurse Ali was also present and she was nice as well. I gave here all my insurance info and she called me back the next day with my insurance requirements. As I had already complied with the 6 month diet she was able to schedule me an appointment within a few days. I as shocked as other surgeons do not see you until right before surgery. At my appointment Dr. Beltre encouraged questions and did not rush me. I felt very comfortable with him. He did make sure I understood that surgery was a tool and not a quick fix. His after care program does not seem as involved or focused as other doctors. He does stress the importance of post-op appointments the first year after surgery. His nurse Ali is awesome. She always took my calls (I called her almost daily while waiting for insurance approval)and sounded pleasant. She kept me up to date and informed at all times. His office scheduled all my appointments for the psychologist,nutritionist and pre-op clearances. Dr. Beltre is warm,sincere and reassuring. rn"
