Hi 

I personally did not have surgery with Dr. Valenzula but here is a link to the review of other members that have had surely with her.

Let us know if you would be interested in speaking with the coordinator and I would be glad to help you with that.

Reviews for Dr. Valenzula

Topic: RE: How to decide on a Mexican surgeon?

I also used Dr. Kelley back in October.  I do agree his office staff were young and inexperienced.  I had the surgery at the clinic.  I had no issues and neither did the other 2 women that had surgery the same day that I had mine.  I think my cost was just under $6000 for the surgery, travel for my self and spouse and her meals while we were there.  We also spent 2 days in San Diego prior to surgery. 

I would definitely look around and read the reviews, you tube videos are a good place to go too.

Hey Pegs,

How did your surgery go? Would you recommend it? I've been looking into Garcia, but taking it very slow because I am super nervous.

Topic: 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?

Topic: Seeking Information

I am looking at a revision from lapband to sleeve or alternative. I am looking at Dr Valenzula at Mexico Bariatric. I would love input from those with experience in Mexico with revisions.

Topic: RE: How to decide on a Mexican surgeon?

Thank you. I did google Dr. Green and after not finding a single review, decided to opt out. The hospital has positive reviews but that wasnt enough for me. The price for a vsg with him was 3899 and another 1000 to repair a hernia.

I am going with Dr. Ariel Ortiz,  if all works out as planned. Im booking directly with his staff, but there is a deposit. Are there any surgeons who dont ask for a depisit?

The first surgeon I looked at was charging just under 4000 but then they said bring another 1000 cash just in case. That was a big red flag.
