Crystal, Dr. Pimenta is indeed exceptional and I would highly recommend him to anyone. It was actually easier flying to Brazil than to Germany, as there was no jetlag. They are almost on the same time zone as we are, give or take an hour. And the beaches we went to post-op were worth it too 
He is a very kind and compassionate man and surgeon and very easy to talk to...something very rare in the medical world I've found.
