There is a forum on here called Self Pay & Mexico Vertical Sleeve Surgery. If you search there, you will find lots of info about Dr. Garcia.

Dont know anything about this surgeon,...however, a relative of mine was going to go to guillermo Alvarez in another part of Mexico for the surgery...he sent in a deposit of $1,000 to the coordinator and he had gone to see his own physician in NYC....who told him....that he was NOT able to have the surgery due to

a bleeding issue...( that could have been serious) he emailed Alvarez's coordinator and was told that Alvarea REFUSED to return the $1,000 deposit....that is HORRIBLE ! and it could have been rather a

serious Letigious issue....one would think that the funds would be returned and good faith should have been present( since my relative could not have gone forward with the surgery at that time due to a bleeding issue) the coordinator must have pocketed the money as a referral....SHAME!SHAME!SHAME!

how does she sleep at night....knowing that this $1,000 was alot of money to someone who was desperate......what a Racket!!!! Have any of you had the same experience.....and not had funds returned due to a potentially serious medical problem ????

I'm having mine done with Dr. Ismael Cabrera Garcia on the 23Rd of the month. He was rated one of the top doctors in the Tijuana area..

I am looking at surgery with him (dr.cabrera) in march. Please advise on your experience. I'm nervous!!

I am HOPEFULLY having surgery with Dr. Cabrera in March but I just heard from the co-ordinator that he wants more medical info on me because I have a platelet secretion defect. It's minor but I guess he's concerned. The Co-ordinator asked me if Cabrera said no did I want Dr. Kelly (who charges more apparently) which made me nervous - like, is Cabrera not able to handle minor (known) issues or unknown surprises? I have only read good things about Dr. Cabrera so this threw me.

I was wavering between Dr. Cabrera and Dr. F. Garcia who also has an excellent reputation and is very kind. Up to today I would have said both sound just as safe as having surgery in your hometown. They both operate at MiDoctor Hospital which is a full service hospital reputed to be extremely clean with attentive staff.

I had surgery with him 9 days ago, he cautious and thorough, he asked for follow up paper work from my endocrinologist due to thyroid cancer. The more info he has the better,for you and him. Good luck.

Susan had emailed me asking me to write a review on Dr Alvarez and I never spoke with him never even seen him face to face. What could I say about him ? Absolutely insane! I never put any money down because I had a very bad feeling g about it all. That ail she sent me confirm it all for me. She wanted me to fake a good review on my Google + page. Not happing!
