DR Mayortena or Dr Pablo Fok Russell?

Any experience or reviews on either Dr Mayortena or Dr Pablo Fok Russell appreciated— I have narrowed it down to these two doctors in tJ and would love any feedback. Looking at gastric sleeve- BMI 37.

Thank you!

Do you still recommend Dr. Fok Russell? There’s so little information on him I’m worried I’m going to be scammed.

YES
I still talk to them and ask questions, etc. I have zero regrets and am happy with the choice that I made.

A dear friend of ours is friends with Dr Fok. When I told my friend I was considering WLS she got giddy and the idea that her friend do the surgery. I was like, hold on turbo. Then I started my research. I'm about ready to schedule my surgery. I was wondering if you had your surgery and how it went? I'm 2,200 miles from this clinic so I'm a little aprehensive about having surgery then flying home. Any insight is appreciated.

I wasn't scammed. There is actually information out there on him. It is how I found him.

I spent almost 3 hours just hanging out with him in recovery.

They don't advertise in Mexico like they do here. The medical field is not seen as a way to make money as it is here. It is an occupation that pays but viewed different.

I literally have nothing negative to say at all except I wish I would of went earlier.
