Ohhh I didn't know that. I want Ariel Ortiz, never heard of the other doctor. It may be the other one then because the Ortiz I want is usually a lot more expensive :(

If your coordinator told you he worked out of the Obesity Control Center then it's got to be Ariel Ortiz!!!

Ok, big misunderstanding! Lol there is apparently another Dr. Ortiz that does surgeries in Tijuana as well. Not the Dr. Ariel Ortiz that I have been wanting to book with :(

Oh I'm so sorry, I know you are disappointed..have you looked into the husband and wife surgical team that work with a lighterme? or maybe with Dr. Ponce? he's the Chief of Bariatric surgeons in TJ.. :) He is also the Dr. who trains many of the surgeons in Mexico...

Did you figure out which Dr.Ortiz it was?

If it's Ariel Ortiz I was going to blow a gasket, I just sent in my non-refundable deposit for a higher priced surgery!! :(

Great news send me info

I looked into many different surgeons in TJ. I was very pleased with Dr Ariel Ortiz. He is an excellent surgeon - I believe he is worth the extra money.

I had VGS in June with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at Obesity Control Center. I couldn't have asked for better care!

The Doctors and Center are wonderful!!! It was more expensive than some of the others but I don't regret that a bit!

I looked into a few other places that was less expensive but glad I choose OCC and Dr. Ortiz.

Good Luck!
