I’m very glad I chose this surgical group for my SADI-S surgery. I did a lot of research beforehand, and from everything I learned, Dr. Sandy is one of the top—if not the top—SADI-S surgeons in the world. The fact that she trains other surgeons on the procedure was incredibly reassuring to me and gave me a lot of confidence in choosing her. This is in addition to her board certifications, her being a master surgeon, all of which I double checked (because I was nervous).
The team who helped me sign up for the surgery, and helped me beforehand and during recovery, were incredibly kind and personable. This includes Merit, Enrique, and Jon.
The quality of the medical providers and staff is clearly very important to this group. All of the doctors were obviously very good at what they do, and the nurses were competent, friendly, and helpful. I’m usually a difficult person to start an IV on, but they got it on the first try every single time, which honestly impressed me.
The physician who performed my pre-op examination was exceptionally thorough. This is Fernando Vega Frias. He noticed and explained things that previous US physicians had missed, and I was so impressed that I’m actually considering traveling to Tijuana regularly to see him as my primary physician.
The nutritionist, Asdrubal Castro, is also excellent—knowledgeable, practical, and very helpful.
My hospital room was large and comfortable, with big windows. Everything was very clean, the Wi-Fi worked well, and the chicken broth was amazing. Sergio, the driver, was also great and made the transportation part of the experience easy and comfortable.
Most importantly, I felt that I was in the hands of highly skilled medical professionals. Bariatric surgery is a major decision, and I’m very grateful that I chose such an experienced surgeon and team.
