  3. Andy I too needed medicine and the cooridinators cames to my hotel room at 10 at night and I did not have enough cash on me...Judy said dont worry about it we can work it out later...Dr Garcias patients are now going to The Marriott it is soooo nice there..As I said this was the best medical experience I have ever had (and I;ve had alot)..I too would go back in a heartbeat...as I said wish I could get all my medical care there..If I lived in California I certainly would..
  4. I was sleeved last Thursday Feb 16 in Tijuana Mexico by Dr fernando Garcia and his awesome team..There are not enough adjectives to describe my expirience Dr Garcia his assisstant Dr. Velazco and anethesiologist Dr. Cabrerra are the finest team of doctors I have ever been placed with. I was very reluctant on going to Mexico(as I have a quite extenstive medical history) and now I don't want to go to doctors here in the US. The nurses were very kind, compassionate and competent I never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for anything..They even give you an internist to follow you during your stay whom gives you a thouragh exam I cannot remember her name but she was very sweet. The hospital is so so clean the smell of pinesol was everywhere. Their equipment is older than here in the US but it all works and does the job needed... I cannot believe that I had NO pain my biggest issue was nausea which they aggressivly treated the first few hours post op are the worst and after I did not even feel as if I had surgery . I am posting because I want anyone who is having had a hard time deciding on Mexico or US . I would rather be there than here for any medical treatment..I cannot vouch for any doctors other than the one's involved in my care but Dr. Garcia and his entire team are a doctors that I would Highly recommend to anyone especially my family members..feel free to PM if any questions
