Dr. Valenzuela---should I go with her for a sleeve?

I'm new here, hope I am doing this right!

I'm Canadian and have been researching surgeons do to a sleeve for me (possibly a bypass but I'm leaning towards the sleeve).

Researching this is overwhelming. I don't know which acredititations are important, etc.

I seem to have landed on Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela who works out of the Mi Doctor hospital in Tijuana.

Can anyone speak to their experience here at this hospital and with this surgeon? I have heard this hospital is not as large or "nice" as the Angeles hospital and others, but I'm not sure if that matters. It is a smaller facility and am told it is a full service hospital. I have read one negative review about the facility.

Anyone who can share an experience would be greatly appreciated, I am overwhelmed by information.

Cat.

I just had my surgery done by her on 01.26.2017. She is an excellent surgeon and her team is Amazing. You will receive the care you need at all times. I highly recommend her. She is professional and super nice. She is willing to answer all your questions before surgery and after surgery she will check on you too. She works with a team of Doctor who will monitor you every few hours. I had a great experience with MBC. I would choose them again if I had to. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
