Literally the best. The second you leave the airport you are always being taken care of everyone feels like family and they truly try their hardest to make you feel at home I cannot recommend doctor sandy and her team any more . Enrique and merit are your number one fans and are Always by your side! Every nurse is super sweet and and all the doctors are extremely understanding and constantly check on you!
The best decision I made was to have surgery with Dr. Sandy!!! The staff, the nurses, everyone we came in contact with that is on her team is the most polite, loving, fun, and inviting people i have ever met at a hospital. Dr. Sandy is amazing! They have an answer for every question you have.
Everything was above and beyond anything. Nurses, doctors, patient coordinator’s are absolutely amazing. Thank you all for taking such awesome care of my lil sister and myself while we were there for her surgery. I would absolutely recommend hospital, surgeons, and nurses
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.
Dr. Sandy Martinez and her staff are amazing. I was comfortable the moment getting to hospital all the way through discharge. Dr. Sandy makes herself available several times a day. I had gastric sleeve.
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
I accompanied my wife on her surgery journey with Dr. Sandy. The experience was top notch. Her staff was incredibly attentive and kind. The round the clock care by nurses pre and post surgery was amazing and professional. The accommodations for my wife as well as me the companion were everything we couldve asked for and more.
From start to finish it was a smooth ride. The team was wonderful and made sure I understood every thing. They even helped me with a charger for my phone as I left mine at home. The pain was minimal and I feel wonderful on my second day postop. Highly recommend Dr. Sandy for any bairiatric surgery you are considering.
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 have been truly amazed and grateful at the level of professionalism and care involved within the whole team. Everyone is kind and definitely treat you like an individual not just another patient. All my questions were answered pre and post surgery. Dr Sandy is great and has a fantastic team. Enrique embodies the spirit of nursing and caretaking, with his joyful presence and kind demeanor he really takes care of his patients. Appreciate all the support !!!
Thank you
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!

I researched their all inclusive package and I felt that it offered the most and gave you more than what other medical facilities were offering.

Dr Sandy, Enrique, Ricardo and others their was more than amazing not even words can describe how they treat their patients. From the scheduling of the procedure to transportation to the staff at the hospital, the hotel. Everything and everyone was very prompted, professional and everything was done in a timely manner and done on time.

Dr. Sandy is by far the BEST surgeon. I’m still in awe of my experience, my results, and the care I received in Tijuana! I’m down over 180 pounds in 14 months with VSG by Dr. Sandy. The facility and staff is top notch !!! If you’re looking for a surgeon that is passionate, educated, experienced and has a wonderful manner look no further. Dr. Sandy is the answer!
