Surgeries in Tijuana Mexico

So I'm just curious how many people have actually went to Mexico and had their surgery? Its kinda scary to me but not as scary as my insurance telling me they will cover nothing if I have complications from this surgery. I have noticed there is insurance you can buy for any complications but it's only good for thirty days. Did anyone else have my concerns and went ahead with the surgery anyways in Mexico? What was the experience like? Anyone have Dr.Maytorena? Thanks

I hope you are not going to Dr Almazna...he has had 4 deaths and many pt in ICU. Some have had a great experience and many have not. Its playing a game of chance...just never know, cause he does 8 to 10 a day. Most Dr. do a max of 5. Good luck????

Thanks for giving me the heads up about Almanza! My hubby and i spent hours researching, and it was a lot of reading and looking around, but we find a news story about him! I will NOT be using him!

Where is this at? Which surgeon?

Good luck! I had my surgery many years ago in México and had such a pleasant experience, with Dr. Frayre and his team, such a good personal care since the moment I got to the hotel, the hospital, before my surgery and after, I truly can only tell you good things!

This is about Dr. Almanza. He is not a good choice for a surgeon. There are news articles about him. 4 deaths and many patients ending up in ICU.
