  1. I had Surgery with Dr Ponce at a full service hospital and only paid $5300. I think it was during a promotion. To this day I stiil recieve follow up care and am doing excellent. I highly recommend him and his team. I had Trish as my coordinator since I went alone and was nervous about going to Mexico on my own. I was referred by a friend to Trish and feel I made the best decision of my life.
  2. I went alone back in Nov with Dr Ponce and had Trish as my coordinator. Best decision of my life. Dr Ponce and his team are great. They still keep in touch with me till this day just to check my progress. I feel like I gained a friend with Trish she is a sweetheart. Good luck on your decision.
  3. From my understanding Dr Ponce has just as much if not more experience as the main surgeons in Tijuana. The only difference is that his english is not as great but his team and Trish are there for you at all times. If you want your experience to be smooth sailing and a quik recovery I would choose Dr Ponce all over again and again and again. Good luck and God Bless your decision.
