Dr. Ian A Villanueva

I loved Dr. Villanueva and his team. Front end staff was nice and attentive. My walk back was very nice, and Dr. V asked all the right questions to understand my problem. He explained the diagnosis in a way I could easily understand and feel comfortable with. We decided on surgery, so I was talked through the prep, procedure, recovery and expected results. I was assigned to his assistant and provided information to call if I had additional questions. I did, and called twice, getting a live human who reviewed my information and explained things. A week before the surgery, I was contacted by a nurse, who asked me a thorough round of questions related to my health and daily activities. On the day of surgery, I was checked in quickly, only waited for a short time, and was taken back, where I was prepped by a great team of nurses, greeted and asked more questions by the anesthesiologist who told me what to expect. Dr. V followed and explained things again to me, and my wife who was present, providing details about postoperative care. I was wheeled back shortly thereafter, and things went well and were over in an hour or so. I woke up in the care of a nurse, checking from the anesthesiologist and Dr. V wrapping back around to check on me. Seriously, an exceptional experience in the care of a kind doctor and staff.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Villanueva. He was efficient yet extremely patient, answering all my questions during the initial conversation, the day of the actual surgery, and afterwards. I felt very confident of his skills and am very satisfied with the outcome. He prepared me thoroughly on what to expect from the surgery and recovery period - everything he told me was accurate to the "T". I experienced almost no pain during the recovery period and had no issues whatsoever. Finally, the entire experience was really wonderful (or at least as wonderful as having surgery can be), with the office and hospital teams displaying unbelievable warmth, patience and professionalism throughout. Highly recommended!
