"Hands down the best surgeon! I flew from New Zealand and felt so safe in Dr. Sandy's hands. In one year, I went from 418 lbs to 202 lbs! I had zero post-op pain and my scars healed amazingly. I would go through it all over again with her. ❤️" -Memele L.

Real weight loss journey

I was not paid to write this, I was just amazed and very thankful for how much service you get from what little money it cost compared to what it would cost in the United States and the lack of service you would get for that money compared to what Dr. Sandy and her professionals offer.

Thank you for everything Dr. Sandy, Consuelo and Crew.

Frank McIntyre

Weight Loss Patient

Real weight loss journey

"The best surgical experience I have had, a full staffed clinic of very competent and compassionate staff. Seeing not only the surgeon, fellow physician, pharmacist, nutritionist, and a third doctor I felt beyond safe.
Everyone was so kind and supportive. The nutritionist is realistic and gives realistic options instead of repeating what most primary care physicians tell you.

Real weight loss journey

"I recently chose to get bariatric surgery with Dr. Sandy Martinez and this is one of the greatest decision I took! Going in another country for medical purposes is never an easy choice, however from the start Dr. Sandy Martinez manager helped me and reassured me about my surgery. Consuelo (the patient service manager) answered to all my questions fast and with clarity. I even met her at the end of my trip and I must say, she is a sweetheart!"
