Dr. Jose Castaneda???
I had my surgery 4th of July 2011 and Dr. Castaneda did my surgery in PVR. I am a nurse here in the USA and we have a surgery center connect to our Plastic Surgery Office. When I walked into the hospital in PVR I was blown away at how clean and how nice and professional all of the people that was there were. There facility and people are top of the line and trust me being in the business I am in I know the difference. I have already lost 90 lbs and have already taken one of my friends over there and she has lost 40 lbs in 4 months. I am going again in May with 2 of my patients that I have here. I promise you this you will not be disappointed in picking him he is by far the best. Please email me if you have any questions that I can answer for you.
I was operated by him on May 26 2010. In my opinion he is one of the best Doctors very little is known because he doesn;t pay advertising. I had the same problem and concerns, I called him and talked to him about it.
He was honest and seemed well informed, I had gone to various local meeting about the operation and got educated before I called him. I asked similar questions to what I heard was concerns and they respones was to my satisfaction.
I had no problem or issues. If you have any questions please let me know.
I live in MIami and have family in Mexico, I chose to go to Guadalajara, although if you take someone with you Puerto Vallarta will be nicer.
I have suggested to him various things like:
1. IF there is any medication or special he would like for you to do or take, to include it or sell it to you there, (I had to look for a special laxative he recommend to clean you the day before theoperation). I suggest he have it there included in the package or sell it to you separtely, but no make you look for it) (the only problem with my operation), but not really I found it and took it.
2. To have a caregiver you could hire for the period of time you are there (incase you go alone).
I had my wifes uncle with me and he was great help.
I suggest that someone be with you for help. I can help with that if the Doctor can't. I lived in Mexico for 8 years with an American Company.
Please let me know if there are any questions you have.
Thanks,
Peter Fraga
