    I am doing the same thing. I am trying to find a doctor that offers financing and that also has good reviews. My BFF keeps showing stories from the news and now I am googling every doctor that I see mentioned in the forums. I am also reading old post to see what has been said in the past. I don't want to put things off but I want to make an informed decision.

    If you schedule by the end of the month it's $3499 with dr. Velazquez. And it keeps popping up that dr. Almanza is $4499.

    I used Dr Carlos Altamirano in TJ. He operates at Guadalajara Hospital which is amazing. He has no complications at this time. He is very sweet. You can book directly with him. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

    I had to do a lot of research before I just jumped up and decided that I was going to make a big change in my life health wise I mean. I decided that Dr.Quinones was the best for me because I liked that he he is proctor from Johnson and Johnson and that he had 4 years of traing as a trauma surgeon. He was chef of general at Tijuanna General. He is a siting member of arbitration committee. Has done surgical residence in the U.S.. And that he also teaches other doctors to do biatrical surgery.
    To me all that really caught my eye and made me fill that he really knows what he is doing.
    I also fill that I was right because he did a great job on me I could not of ask for more. even the incessions are really little and they are healing really good. I even got post op caring from my coordinator they are the BOMB....Good Luck on you choice

    I was sleeved by Dr,Quinones in Pompeii surgical I had a great experience their was no hidden prices and I was treated like a queen very hand on care due to they have very few patients a day. But I had to do a lot of research before I just jumped up and decided that I was going to make a big change in my life health wise I mean.

    To me all that really caught my eye and made me fill that he really knows what he is doing.
    I also fill that I was right because he did a great job on me I could not of ask for more. even the in-cessions are really little and they are healing really good. I hope you have the same experience as I did good luck.

    I'm choosing Tijuana to get my gastric sleeve surgery, one of my very good friends recommended me Dr. Ma ytorena for $3,499.. My friend is looking awesome, and told me they were great! I still did my research, and so far its the best option; loved the fact that you can see a lot of patient testimonials and results.
