I can't thank Dr. Sandy and her entire bariatric team enough for the exceptional care I received. From my very first appointment through surgery and recovery, everyone was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and compassionate. They made me feel comfortable, supported, and confident every step of the way.

A special thank you to Enrique, the head nurse and coordinator, for always being kind, attentive, and making sure everything went smoothly. I also want to recognize Merit, the patient coordinator, for being so helpful, organized, and responsive throughout the entire process. Their dedication and genuine care made a huge difference in my experience.

Dr. Sandy is an outstanding surgeon, and I am truly grateful for her expertise and the life-changing care she provided. This experience has been nothing short of amazing.

I highly recommend Dr. Sandy, Enrique, Merit, and the entire team to anyone considering bariatric surgery. You will be in caring, capable hands from beginning to end.

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.

Had the most amazing experience ever. Dr Sandy and staff was amazing. Consuelo was always a text away, every step of the way. Enrique made everything so smooth from checking in, labs, pre op. And extra laughs along the way. If you are on the fence about traveling to Mexico to have surgery, don’t be. We were very well taken care of the entire time. Much love, Ashley Pauline

The best experience for my mom. Dr. Sandy and her team were always attentive, always on top of things, answering every call, every text, every question—they were all incredibly professional. My mom was very nervous, and they gave her so much peace and attention. The surgery went very well, and now my mom is starting her new life with the help of the nutritionist on the doctor's team.

But I want to give a very special mention to Consuelo, the doctor's star coordinator. She was amazing from the beginning, answering our questions, responding to calls and messages instantly, and resolving any little issues that came up during the day immediately, always making sure my mom was well treated and cared for. We love them so much; we were left with the best possible impression. We give them 100 stars, and of course, we 100% recommend them to anyone thinking about making this important change in their lives!

I cannot recommend Dr. Sandy Martinez and her team enough! From my very first contact, I knew I was in good hands. Enrique, Consuelo, and Dr. Martinez, the Nutritionist were incredibly responsive, patient, and took the time to answer every question I had, making me feel informed and confident throughout the entire process.

From coordinating my travel to the surgery itself and my recovery afterward, everything was seamless, organized, and stress-free. I truly couldn’t believe how comfortable the experience was. Best of all, I have been completely pain-free, which exceeded all of my expectations.

Dr. Sandy, thank you for creating such a safe, welcoming environment with a team of dedicated healthcare professionals who genuinely care about their patients. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I am so grateful for the exceptional care I received. Thank you for changing my life!

Hands down the best surgeon ever! From the first consultation she did not hesitate to any of my questions and concerns. On the day of surgery I cried missing my kids back home as I flew over to Mexico from little New Zealand. Dr Sandy is gifted!!!!!! & I would go through it all over again with her. You’re in safe hands with Dr Sandy and her team.
