"Couldn't have asked for a better experience!"
EXCELLENT Based on 153 reviews Concepción2025-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excelente atención por parte del equipo Blue Medital Tower,muchas gracias al Cirujano Giovanni Arias y su equipo por atenderme de la mejor forma. Mi cirugía de vesícula fue un éxito. ☺️🙏❤️❤️🩹 Erin Keating2025-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had lapband removed. EXCELLENT coordination, care, and facilities. Every single person I interacted with, virtually and in person, was kind, knowledgeable and caring. All of my questions were answered up front. The procedure went as described, and recovery has gone well. I was provided with information and medication to ensure my recovery was as easy as possible. The doctors and nurses were all wonderful, and took the time to answer questions; I never felt rushed. Google Translate helped with one interaction; otherwise, communications were flawless. The hospital was very nicely appointed and very clean; they were also able to handle any potential crises so I wouldn't have had to be transferred if something went seriously wrong. Coordination with the hotel and car service were excellent. I was very, very happy with the services I received, and grateful for all of the care. Stormy The Amazing2024-05-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful, clean facility, SUPER friendly staff. Everyone appeared to be knowledgeable. Security out front. My only issues were that I felt my pain wasn't always managed in a timely manner, the cafeteria closed way too early for my husband, and I was suprised at how little English the nurses knew. Thank God for Google Translate. Marci Powell2023-11-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing staff! Love Lilia ages amazing! My doctor JP Fernedez was incredible! Highly recommend Craig Werner2023-09-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have put off my surgery several times. Just not physically or financially prepared. The owner, Alma, called me directly and was very professional in assisting me. Amy Harris2023-08-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience was amazing! It starts from the very beginning. Before you even get to Tijuana! The staff walks you through everything you need to know and do. They stay in constant contact via email or phone calls. Once you are in beautiful Tijuana, you are so very well taken care of by the hosting hotel and your driver. The hospital is so clean and serene. The drs and nursing are amazing! I really didn't want to leave! It was so beautiful! The surgery went very well and of course I've lost 70 lbs now, but the experience as a whole was amazing, and I'm so glad I did it! Joe Lea2023-07-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I flew to San Diego on a Sunday. Was picked up at the airport and driven to hospital to have blood work done the day before surgrey. Taken to Marriott Hotel. Was picked up next morning. Blood sugar was too high to have surgrey. They did everything needed to lower my blood sugar so I could have surgrey on Tuesday morning. I was the first patient that morning. Surgrey went Great! Went so well I was able to leave Thursday morning and instead of going to hotel I was able to fly home that afternoon. The staff & doctor's were the best! The cleanest hospital I've ever been into. My Driver that picked me up from the airport and returned me to the airport was awesome..( made a new friend). Had surgrey on May 24,2023 as of to-date I've lost 62 pounds. Feel Great and not looking too bad either😂..lol I recommend getting in touch with Martha to schedule or help you plan your weight loss surgrey. - Joe Lea Vidor, Texas Shonda Hortness2023-01-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
