Memorial Hermann Southeast Esophageal Disease Center

"My name is Hipolita A. Valenzuela and in December 2, 2019 I had laparoscopi surgery to repair my gastroesophageal junction that had a large hiatal hernia. My procedure was performed by Dr. Farzaneh Banki the most loving caring doctor that was recommend to me by my sister Rufina De Leon. I had a wonderful personal Perioperative Care Team who took great care of me. They were Pre-op Krystal RN, Procedure Technologist Travone, Operating /Procedure Room Blair RN, Anesthesia Services Carol CRNA, Recovery Room Jami RN she was also my discharge nurse. This team were awesome! After I got home to Fort Stockton Tx. I was up and about in three days driving to the store, started eating without no difficulty and no acid reflux, and took very little pain medication. My weight has not changed still the same. I can lift up to 30 to 40 pounds with no problems. I am so happy that I can lift my grandkids play with them and enjoy being with them. I thank my Lord for Dr. Farzaneh Banki who did my procedure she is a wonderful person and a Great DR. I am forever grateful to her. Memorial Hermann Esophageal Disease Center thank you for the awesome staff, and care team that you have and for Dr. Farzaneh Banki. Most Grateful Hipolita A. Valenzuela"
