    I went through International Facilitators.com with Dr. Verboonen. I was very happy with my surgery and the care I received. However, when I got there there was a bit of a mix up and he had booked an extra person in and couldn't do mine at his facility and asked if I would be willing to have it at the hospital and he split the extra cost so it cost me an extra $500. I was actually very happy with that as I thought my surgery was going to be in the hospital in the first place. I didn't like the looks of his facility, but I had great care in the hospital. I had no problems at all with my surgery and was supposed to spend my third night in a hotel in Tijuana but felt so good I decided to get a room in San Diego instead. I was out touring on the Wednesday(surgery was on Monday). I have to admit I haven't had any follow-up care from his office. I am not sure if other Surgeon's there are more diligent with follow-up. I have relied heavily on this site for advice and finding out what to expect and the do's and do nots. I would do it again there in a heart beat. The cost of my surgery ended up being $4000 with the added fee for the hospital. I have heard a lot of people with different doctors in Mexico that were all happy with them.
