He said he used to work with Dr. Sanchez and Sanchez is the one that was making the infamous "Mexican Band" (ever see a horrible and eroded band on US doctor's websites? THAT is the Mexican Band). Arturo was his lead surgeon. Arturo told me that they were putting the band in and they were eroding over 50% of the time. Yet.... they kept putting it in anyway.

He said he removed over 350 of his own surgically placed bands due to erosion. I doubt any surgeon has seen that many band erosions. He's had more erosions than many doctors have bands placed!

If you take into consideration the 350 bands he removed, the 1.3% erosion stat that is the global stat, that comes out to about 20% erosion for Arturo.

He even called my doctor asking my doctor to request that I stop telling people about that conversation. Of course, my doctor has no way to tape my mouth shut or tape my typing fingers so that conversation did him little good. Perhaps if Arturo wants me to stop telling the truth he should call me back and explain why he kept placing this band when he knew they were going to erode.

Until that conversation I was fairly pro-Rodriguez. But those days are over.
I will ask Dr. Rodriguez myself because I have serious doubts about your "claims" Unless you have documented proof that Dr. Rodriguez "probably has the highest erosion stat in the industry" I wouldn't be posting it on forums. It's just hearsay and you're just putting doubt and incorrect information out there without any facts to back you up. Dr. Sanchez has been dead for a few years now and even when he was alive it's been years (like 12 years ago) that Dr. Rodriguez did any work with him. So even if what you say is true (which it isn't) it was 12 years ago.
