I am using Medical Tourism Co. and have been pleased with my coordinator so far. My surgery is scheduled for May 8th with the same surgeon.

I have nothing further to add right now, but will be able to give my personal opinion and experience after May 8th!

I am booked through Medical Tourism as well..with Dr. Ismael Cabrera-Garcia as my surgeon..Surgery is Friday May 3..Thus far I am really happy..they have answered all my and my husband's questions..and he has drilled them over every step of the procedure as well as equipment they use etc..since I will be alone..Regene is our agent and she has been fantastic in keeping up with us and even put me with the nutritionist to answer the pre and post op diet questions we had. I will update you guys after my surgery on Friday.

Booked through this company. Coordinator is Cyrel, like many it seems! Will be having surgery on the 25th, and will be arriving to TJ on the 24th. Was just wondering where everyone will be staying at? Just curious why loads of other people going to Mi Doctor through other companies are getting the Marriot but still paying the same....so strange lol.

You can request to stay at the Marriott instead of the hotel they are currently using. It could be an additional cost, but they also might upgrade you free of charge. I cancelled my surgery back in May, but the the upgrade to Marriott (as I requested) was free.

I am headed to Tijuana this Thursday the 25th. I have used Medical Tourism (3 of my friends recommended them). Regene is my coordinator and so far...things have been great! Really looking forward to my procedure in 6 days! I believe we are staying at the Pueblo Amigo, which looks very nice.

Hi Derick, I will be there for surgery Sept. 2nd w/ Dr. Cabrera. I might ask for upgrade to Marriott instead of the hotel Pueblo that Medicaltourismco gives us..but depends on $$.

Just fyi, my stay at the Marriott was alright and all, however they kept messing up my reservations, kept billing and re-billing me things they weren't supposed to and couldn't even provide me shuttle at proper times to take me to the hospital. When I talked to Nissi from medicaltourismco and my coordinator about this they told me that's why they choose the pueblo over the Marriott for their patients. I guess it's cause medicaltourismco is new with the MArriott and the Marriott has so many other clinics hospitals it's working with they are basically all over the place. The benefits of the pueblo are that it is relatively close to the hospital so the doctor can come see you there to, you won't get that post-op at the Marriott...that and they don't bill you extra for anything and they also send you your meals and popsicles etc etc to your room without you having to go down to the cafeteria/restaurant and order yourself some...and then have the waiter bring you an unbelievable bill each time and argue for another hour and a half about who is footing the bill in the first place yada yada. I'm going to be disputing the $50.00 + bill they billed me both times I stayed. So that's $100.00+ for two lousy nights. Wish I'd stayed at the pueblo.

 

Just letting you know what the company told me, and my own experience.

 

P.S.

This isn't the first time it's happened, if you read around just this forum alone you can find a few posts about the same experience with the Marriott in Tijuana.< /p>

In fact, when I got there from the airport they told me my room was ready. Then I waited an hour and a half before they told me that they were still "cleaning it". Then another half hour later they told me that room was gone and I can have a smaller "internal" room with no windows and almost no room to move. Basically a storage room with two queen beds shoved inside side by side. That's where I stayed. Bull!

[MumtazG38 86]

Oh and both times, they told me there was no reservation for me and were pretty much kicking me and my mother out. So I called Nissi and she ran right over and handed them copies of the same paperwork they already had on their desk and she spoke some super quick spanish to them and we got real lucky. Yeah, they felt like idiots!......so I thought. They did it again the next time.....shmur.

Thanks MumtazG! That 's all good info to hear. I'll stick with Pueblo then--don't need all that nonsense you had at Marriott when trying to recover! What foods are you able to tolerate now that you are a week + past surgery? How are you feeling?
