Dr. Garcia - Tijuana

I was scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Kelly in Tijuana in March, and the Medical Tourism company called me today and told me they are no longer placing patients with him for surgery, and offered to have my surgery done by Dr. Garcia instead. I am wondering if anyone has had surgery with him or has any additional information on him? His credentials look fine but it's a little unnerving to have read a little bit about Dr. Kelly's troubles on the board yesterday, and then have this happen today where they change my surgeon.

Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

I had surgery with Dr Garcia on Dec 11 and I have not one single complaint. In fact he is doing a seminar in Chicago this weekend and I am going to attend as I want to see him again and thank him for all that he has done for me in giving me a new life. If you have any questions and want to talk I would gladly call you or give you my phone number. I had my surgery at Hospital Mi in Tijuana

I too had surgery with Dr. Garcia at Hospital Mi in Tijuana on November 7/11 and had a great experience. Dr. Garcia's team are top notch and the staff at the hospital were the best. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Garcia. I am down 42 lbs. so far and have never regretted having the surgery. My sister and a friend also had the sleeve surgery with Dr. Garcia on Nov. 7th. He did all three of us the same day and they are very happy with the results so far. All the best to you in your surgery journey...

I would like to know more about this drama and other's experiences with Dr. Kelly. I have had great interaction with he and his staff this week and feel comfortable. He spent a lot of time on the phone with me yesterday. It would be nice to know more information. Does anyone know if there are any citations on his license to practice? I was considering Dr. Garcia first but then that whole medical tourism thing came up, and then I started looking into Dr. Kelly and was very impressed that he took the time to call me and answer my questions...
