I am so thankful that I went with Dr. Machado as my surgeon. She has been there for me the entire journey I have taken. Three years after my surgery and she is still there for me as she is all of her patients. The aftercare she gives with her program is a lifelong program not just a few months after. She is as invested in your success as you will be. I see others have said she is rude but that is a personal opinion on their part. She wont sugar coat things and watch you fail, she is going to be honest with you and tell you h... read more

Dr Machado is the absolute best in her field! After a prior surgeon left me suffering with a stomach stricture for almost 3 years after a gastric sleeve surgery, Dr Machado treated me with care, concern, dignity and respect! She listened to my cry over the stricture preventing me from eating and caused so much weight loss I was half the person I was before surgery. She promised to help me and she revised me to a gastric bypass and removed the stomach stricture! Today is the best I have ever felt! Dr Machado has the best bed ... read more

She is nicest and most charming doctor you will find. She always takes her time with and you never feel like she is trying to rush you out. After my wife’s surgery everyone that we bumped into at the hospital could not say enough things about her and either can we.

Charges an additional $3,200 “program fee” for a sleeve and $4,200 for a bi-pass that is not covered by any insurance. Staff is extremely rude and difficult and no matter what’s going on you will never get a call back from the doctor. They seemed so nice at the seminar and initial visit but I have seen them be nasty to so many patients while waiting in the waiting room. Find another doctor!

Never have I ever spoke to such a rude doctor. I'm very blessed that she was not my surgeon!!! She has and unprofessional attitude and treats patients with no respect.
