Hello Everyone,

I've spent a few weeks poking around forums and websites. I'm interested in getting some additional information about Dr. Ramos Kelly.

I've seen a few posts talking about different ways to book surgery with him. What is the best way? and how do I go about it?

Thank you!!

I booked with him directly through his assistant at the time, Omar (1 yr ago in May 2012). I believe he has a new person working for him now, thought I don't know their name.

The last contact info I have for Dr. Kelly is:

Dr. Jaime Ramos Kelly

Work: 619-793-4869

Cell: 619-395-5347

Home: 619-955-6771

Work email: info@wlsclinic.com (Assistant's name was Omar, but he has someone new now)

Personal email: drramoskelly@wlsclinic.com

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kelly. He was extremely professional, careful to find out everything about my past history and health concerns, explained the full procedure and was very supportive post-op (both while I was in hospital in Tijuana; later in the hotel; and finally when I was back home).

His price was reasonable at $5000 US (I paid an extra $500 US due to have a very high BMI of 55+, for a total of $5500 US) and I did not have to pay a deposit. I simply brought a certified cheque (make sure you spell his name accurately!) and gave it to his assistant when I was checked into the hospital. This included being picked up at San Diego airport, transportation to the hospital, surgery, post-surgery stay in hospital (2 days), leak test (in another hospital), 2 nights stay in a great hotel, post-op meds and care (dressing changes, etc.). I got a copy of my medical reports (to show my primary care physican back home), a copy of my swallow test film (and probably could have got a copy of the surgical video, if I had asked, which I did not, but wish I had!).

If you want more firsthand info about my experience, Private Message (PM) me, and I'd be happy to tell you more.

Same glowing experience. He hired an American post-op assistant named Lora. The contact info above is still correct. I loved Lora, I texted her nonstop.

His price is now $5500. It includes the upgraded leak test at Hospital Angeles and the Lucerna hotel. You can book through Mexican Bariatrics but my fellow post op across the hall was MAD at them for downgrading her hotel post op without telling her. Their price is $5200.
