Is there a site to go on to check the references, complaints, problems,etc of doctors and hospitals in Mexico. I've heard of them in the US but not Mexico. I'd love to know how each of them stand professionally.

Has anyone heard of Dr Arturo Rodriguez?

Has anyone heard of Dr Arturo Rodriguez? From Monterrey Mexico?

Please let me know.

I was banded by him in July. He and his staff are FABULOUS!! I felt like I had the best care. They took great care of me. I did lots of research and found him to be one of the best. I HIGHLY recommend him. Please feel free to ask any questions.

I was also banded by Dr Lopez Corvala. I am not impressed with his follow up care but he is a very competent surgeon and did a good job in that regard.

Has anyone heard of Dr. Daniel Huacuz i talk to him and I have a date for your gery whit him in oct 20

Yes, he was my band surgeon and has done my follow ups and fills. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Huacuz. He is always available for questions and is very thorough.

<p><p>Anyone hear of Dr. Corvala in TJ? He practices out of the Angeles hopital. My friend and I are thinking of visiting the facility and having a consult with him Sept. 22. I am thinking we should visit Dr. Ortiz too. We are from L.A. so the trip isn't too bad. Any thoughts?</p></p> Dr. Carvala is touted by beliteweight

I was banded by Dr. Corvala on Sept. 19 and am very pleased, not only with him, but the Hospital Angeles and their wonderful staff. I don't speak much spanish, but the staff and I always were able to communicate or they would go get someone on the staff who could speak English very well. The hospital is magnificent! Very clean and shiny! Dr. Corvala was very patient with my questions and has checked on me once since I came home and had another of his staff call me too. Call the hospital and asks for the Tijuana Bariatric Group, or go through BeLiteWeight.com and they will set up everything, including transportation from the airport. Dr. Corvala "installed" the new J and J band too, which I requested and was cheaper. I'm very happy!

Doctor Gonzalez is an excellent surgeon with an excellent track record and great follow-up and aftercare. I recommend him without reservations.

Is there anyone else who has had experience with Dr. Zapata, a doctor in Monterrey? I need a revision and need some help choosing who to go to . The doctor who did the original surgery is no longer doing them.

I am scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Jose Rodriguez whose information can be found at www.joseband.com.

As others have suggested, I conducted research online and have found several positive things about him. His infection rate is published on his webpage as 2% and I also took the liberty of contacting several of his referrals. One referral included a professor at the Univ of Houston.

Does anyone have any personal experience with Dr. Aceves in MexiCali? I am thinking about going to him for one to avoid the TJ experience. I am from Los Angeles and will be driving and I dread driving in TJ. Also I have heard that he is good but I do not have any first hand accounts!

Thanks,

Heidi

Hi Heidi,

I used Dr. Aceves, and am totally happy with him and his staff, the hospital he used, everything! I knew people who went before me and have sent several since I was done. I would be glad to answer any questions you have.

WasABubbleButt was also an Aceves patient, and is a frequent poster on the board, and has recently reached goal in less than a year!!

I HIGHLY recomment Dr. A---feel free to PM me if you like concerning this!

I have been leaning toward going to Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey. His staff has called me and they seem very helpful in answering any and all questions I have. I have saved a little over half of the $$$ and hopefully I will be ready to go ina month or two. Does anyone have anything to say about this Doc? His credentials look really good.

:help:

Has anyone used Dr. Betancourt. I want to do this but want the best and hear so many different versions.. any advice? Coming from Canada

No, no, no. For your sake please do not use Betancourt!!

First of all, there is no Dr. Betancourt. Andres Betancourt, the owner is not a doctor.

There are TONS of horror stories from this medical group, including my own. Do your research. On this site alone, you can search for, and find many posts that I think would greatly influence your decision.

Good luck. I know that there are many great Mex dr's, but you won't find them at Betancourt, that's for sure.
