Real Reviews From Happy Patients
"Couldn't have asked for a better experience!"
EXCELLENT Based on 155 reviews Posted on Collin GlaserTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 Stars-A++++ Tijuana Bariatrics has helped me through my sleeve journey and I could not be happier that I chose them for my weight loss transformation. Currently I am about a week post-op and couldn't be happier that I chose to make the journey to Tijuana. Eduardo and my surgeon, Dr. JP Fernandez were incredible along the journey. From the initial phone call to the post-op care, I would definitely suggest them to my friends and family as they cared for me with respect and dignity. The first day we arrived late as Southwest Airlines had a later flight. The team at Tijuana Bariatrics were so helpful that they even arranged a private driver to pick me up from the San Diego airport and take us to the hotel for the night The second day was surgery day. We arrived at the hospital and they prepped me for a blood test as well as the surgery. Dr. JP Fernandez was insightful and caring during the process. He explained everything and reassured me about everything. The third and fourth days were for recovery and rest. I would recommend that you be mindful of timing as the border coming back to the US can be unpredictable. However, the team at Tijuana Bariatrics assisted with everything. I highly recommend Tijuana Bariatrics for your weight loss journey. They are respectful, caring, and uphold the same quality of care that one would expect if it was in the United States. If you are on the fence or are thinking about weight loss surgery, I would challenge you to contact them. You won't regret it.Posted on Chaz TemplinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Stop Obesity. Dr Cabrera and his team were highly professional. The hotel was nice the hospital was nice. I am so glad I went through this program and I think you will too!Posted on ConcepciónTrustindex 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. ☺️🙏❤️❤️🩹Posted on Erin KeatingTrustindex 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.Posted on Stormy The AmazingTrustindex 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.Posted on Marci PowellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing staff! Love Lilia ages amazing! My doctor JP Fernedez was incredible! Highly recommendPosted on Craig WernerTrustindex 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.Posted on Amy HarrisTrustindex 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!Posted on Joe LeaTrustindex 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
