Surgeon & Surgery Center Drama - What to do?
I was so excited that I found a surgeon that came highly recommended from a friend. Between her and her friends/family, they've had 5 surgeries with this doctor. Part of the package was that the surgery center was so great. So I booked with the surgeon but found out that he is no longer performing surgeries at that surgery center. I've been on the phone with both and now I feel like I just don't want to be in the middle of the drama between them. And it came to light because the surgeon's rep said they did not have any available surgery dates at the surgery center but my friend called the surgery center and learned that is not true.
Gastric sleeve was scheduled for 1/25 - and I don't want to postpone. Who do you recommend in Tijuana?
Maytorena and the JL Prado Surgical Center. Maytorena's coordinator, Ruben, has great things to say about what their new amenities are like and he sounds legit in talking about the surgical center dates not being available. However I learned that he was telling lies (I verified for myself by talking to the owner of the surgical center). I just did not feel as comfortable after that. I was also warned about their patients being turned away from the other facilities if another more important surgery came in. I asked Ruben about that possibility and he said the other facilities have other surgeons that do the same surgeries there and they don't like the fact Dr. Maytorena does them for such a small amount.
Please note that I am not talking bad about Dr. Maytorena. He was highly recommended. But the recommendation including the use of JL Prado and their recovery house.
