Excellent professionals, both Dr. García Vasquez and Dr. Levano Linares and the rest of their team. The intervention, a robot-assisted colon cancer surgery, produced very satisfactory results. The humane treatment was unsurpassed, both in explaining what the robot-assisted procedure would entail, the expected (and subsequently successful) results, and the steps to follow once the procedure was performed. Of great personal and professional value. My deepest gratitude to both doctors and the rest of their team.
