Hey Angel86......you might have read about TRish, who coordinates for Dr. Kelly. Well, she is also coordinating for Dr. Ponce too. She is an on-site coordinator, which is so nice. I had my surgery with Dr. Kelly and Trish took such good care of me. She will arrange your surgery, make arrangements for you to be picked up at the airport (going back too), take you to the hotel, etc. For me, it was sort of scary going to a foreign country all be myself, but I didn't feel like I was alone with Trish. She has a website, which is wls4betterlife.com.....check it out. If you need to get in touch with her, her cell number is 661-886-4617 ( you can text to that number too) or her office number which is 619-202-6011. You can just tell her that Noel told you about her services with Dr. Ponce. She is a wonderful person and will take good care of you. I hear from Trish that Dr. Ponce is a very good surgeon too. If you have any questions, please let me know.

So, I had a wonderful experience with having surgery with Dr. Kelly and Trish. The surgery with Dr. Kelly went well, but what also made the experience wonderful was the services of Trish. She set up the surgery for me, arranged the driver for me (both ways), arranged payment, was there to greet me at the hospital (at around 11:00 pm at night), was there when I woke up from the surgery, called my husband to let him know that the surgery went well, took me to the swallow test, took me to the hotel, etc. That's a lot huh?
Anyway, although I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Kelly, I also understand that dr. Ponce de leon is a great surgeon too and Trish coordinates for him as well. Of course it is important to have a good surgeon, but it is also about who is going to take care of you while you are in a foreign country. Trish was the one that made me feel comfortable and really helped to reduce my anxiety. Before the trip, I was really nervous about going to Mexico. I think I watch the news too much......things went through my mind like .....what happens if I get kidnapped? All those things went through my head. But once I got to the hospital and met Trish, I was just fine. So with that being said, both Dr Kelly and Dr. Ponce are great surgeons. I don't think you could go wrong with either one, BUT it really means a lot to have someone like Trish to guide you along the way. Yes, the other coordinators can book for you, but are they personally there to look after you? NO! If you want to get in touch with Trish, she can be reached at 661-886-4617 (you can text at that number too) or her office number 619-202-6011. FYI.... her assistant's name is Omar and he sometimes answers the phone. If you have any questions, my name is Noel....please feel free to ask.
dr. Ponce de leon does surgery at the same hospital as Dr. Kelly. Also, you will go to the Hotel Lucerna for recovery, which is like a 5 star hotel....so beautiful. When you walk into the foyer, you are greeted by beautiful marble floors....so nice. It's like a mini-vacation. You can find out more about Trish, the doctors she works with, etc. at her website......wls4betterlife.com. Whichever excellent surgeon you choose, Trish will help you along the way!
Thanks,
Noel
