Replacement for Dr. Aceves?

[LighterSmarter 9]

Hi,

I was scheduled to have a surgery with Dr. Aceves in august. Because of tragic death, the surgery is done now by Dr. Beltran. Does anyone know him? any word of wisdom?

I am worried about using this unknown doctor, given he had never done any surgery on his own, without Dr. Aceves

Thanks in advance

Are you trying to stay on a lower budget? I searched for a Mexico Surgeon/Center for several months. I was trying to Stay in the lower discounted arena. After contacting numerous surgery centers, having a hard time getting then to respond to phone calls and emails, reading reviews, and posts, or lack thereof. I decided to not let price be my main deciding factor.

I went for a more well known and highly rated surgeon. I recommend to anyone to not just go for price...you get what you pay for.

Like many others, I stayed at the Tijuana MX Marriott post surgery. One group that had surgery at one of the less expensive Centers were in their, "hospital" for two days and all had nausea, some vomited as well. NONE at my center had nausea, not one! I was amazed because I have had a serious problem with this in the past. We were all up and walking within two to three hours after surgery (Btw I was the first (: ). I felt great. I Only took prescription pain meds for 4 1/2 days; didn't even need Tylenol after that. Nothing to do with the doc, I did get thrush and was temporarily lactose intolerant. I highly recommend if you can afford it to aim a little higher to do so.

Best wishes.

Dr Beltran is excellent. He is very sweet and caring just like Dr Aceves. He checked on me everyday and made sure I was doing well. He learned from the best.
