Dr. Carlos Edgar Figueroa Avendaño, Proctólogo

I want to express my sincere gratitude and recommendation for Dr. Carlos Figueroa, a colorectal surgeon. From the very first moment, he provided us with excellent care, characterized by his professionalism, empathy, and clarity. He explained the entire surgical procedure in detail, patiently and confidently answering each of our questions, which gave us great peace of mind during such an important time. Furthermore, he was always very attentive to my mother, demonstrating genuine interest in her well-being and keeping us informed at every stage. His dedication, compassion, and commitment to his patients make him a highly recommended doctor. We are truly grateful for his support and excellent care.

I want to thank Dr. Carlos Figueroa; he is an excellent person. He takes the time to listen to the patient and provide a solution without beating around the bush. I am following the treatment to the letter. I wish all healthcare professionals were like him.

I want to express my sincere gratitude and admiration for the surgeon who treated me. From the very first consultation, he demonstrated a high level of professionalism, empathy, and dedication. He took the time to explain every detail of the procedure, patiently and clearly answering all my questions, which gave me great peace of mind. The surgery was a complete success, and his skill and experience were evident at every stage of the process. The postoperative follow-up was also excellent; he was always attentive to my recovery and willing to help at any time. Without a doubt, he is an exceptional professional, committed to the well-being of his patients. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and highly skilled surgeon.

I'm not usually one to recommend doctors because it's so common for them to make you look bad. But what happened with Dr. Figueroa was so bad that it made me sit down and write about what he did to me. But before I get into it, I want to say that I've seen a large number of gastroenterologists and colorectal surgeons, and I want to make it clear that none of them were of any use to me whatsoever, and by "whatever" I mean, NOTHING! So I called, and a true angel named Marinella answered, the most adorable girl you could imagine, determined to help you with anything and everything. This wonderful girl gave me an appointment for the day I could go, and when I arrived and Dr. Figueroa sat me down, he asked me to explain what was wrong. He wasn't satisfied with just details; he asked me everything, and in the end, he said, "I have to examine you." He practically shouted as soon as he started, "Here it is! The problem is hemorrhoids!" Something none of the gastroenterologists or colorectal surgeons had ever said. And then he proceeded to write my medical history and the prescription for what he proposed to cure me. But I have acute and chronic constipation thanks to the army of incompetent doctors who treated me through Compensar and a few private practitioners. But Dr. Figueroa uttered some magic words that I had never heard in all the years I've been ill, because he told me: "In two days you will begin to see results with this treatment," something no one had ever said before. Although I am grateful for that, because then I see they weren't lying, since there were never any results, not even after two years. The thing is, after two days I felt the improvement, and on the third day, it was a resounding success. I never had any of that, much less with that promise of "in two days you will begin to see results." Today I'm already on the fourth day and I feel wonderful, and for the first time I feel free from that torture, because constipation is a Chinese torture, but "medieval Chinese," which were the worst. That's my story, and that's my experience with Dr. Carlos Figueroa. And that's what I wanted to share with you, to document the wonderful people who work in that office, Dr. Carlos Figueroa and his magical assistant, Marinella. What an adorable place they have, and above all, what incredible professionals they both are, each in their own field. I think we should call Guinness World Records, because it was the first time in my life I'd had such a "lightning bolt" result.

I want to share my experience with Dr. Carlos Edgar Figueroa and his team. As a 32-year-old patient with a complex case of a rectovaginal fistula and a colostomy, my journey was very difficult and challenging due to all that it entailed. My last procedure, the closure of my colostomy, was on February 17, 2026. So far, everything has been going wonderfully, without any complications. Each procedure has been excellent, starting with the care I've received. The staff are warm, compassionate, and highly professional, guiding patients to understand the process and everything it involves. They also provide ongoing support, always answering any questions that arise along the way. I've been seeing the doctor for about three years now, and I want to say he's my lifeline, an angel on earth who patiently guided me through many frustrating situations, yet always encouraged me not to give up, to persevere, and to believe in him. I wholeheartedly recommend him and encourage both men and women to consult him, to let him guide them, and to overcome any shame, fear, or embarrassment in sharing their stories. His diagnoses are accurate, timely, reliable, and truthful. Thank you so much, Doctor, and I pray that God will always grant you the wisdom needed for each case.
