In Mexico For Surgery With Dr. Garcia

[Kyle Varner 4]

I arrived in Tijuana this afternoon. i was met at the airport by Samuel (Dr Garcia's driver) and taken to the Ticuan Hotel. I will be going to the hospital for the surgery tomorrow at 7AM. Thus far, I have been pleasantly surprised by the hotel and the Professionalism of the driver. I live in Puerto Rico and I speak fluent Spanish but I havent had to speak Spanish at all since I've been here. Actually, from what I have seen so far, people speak better English in Tijuana than in Puerto Rico.

I'll post here after the surgery when I am feeling up to it to let you all know how it went. This forum has been very useful to me and I am eager to contribute by giving an informed report of my experience. I am a 4th year medical student so I think I will be able to give a very informed opinion of the standard of care here. For what it is worth all of my research thus far indicates to me that, at least in Dr. Garcia's practice, the standard of care meets or exceeds standars of care in a US hospital. After the surgery I will let you know if my opinion remains the same. Thanks to everyone on here who has posted their opinions and experiences as they were very helpful to me :-)

_{Glad to hear things went well. I was sleeved on Monday with Dr. Garcia. I love his demeanor, He is very soft spoken. I like Samual. Ask him what he does besides being a driver. You will be surprised. He gets around in that Volvo.}

Yay! Wishing you a speedy recovery. Tell Alex and Silvana that Arlea and Paula say Hi! Love those nurses there.

Just a little Update. I was discharged to the hotel today, and I am feeling quite well given the surgey I just had. I'm toleratipng oral liquids, have very little pain and am resting quite comfortably. I will write a detailed account of everytng once i get home and have a computer instead of just my ipad. Thank you all for your kind words!
