Question:
Seeking information about and patients of Dr. Aguirre in Esenada Mexico

If anyone has used him- 1)How was he? 2)How did the traveling go? (accomadations,ect...) 3)Passports? 4) I pretty much know the cost of the WLS but what about cost of travel,lodging,transportation,ect...?    — latrishanickle (posted on March 4, 2003)

I had my surgery with Dr. Aguirre on 1/17/03. He is a great doctor in my opinion. The traveling was fine. I flew to San Diego took a taxi to the border and walked over the border and then took the ABC bus to Ensenada (about an hour bus ride). After getting out of the hospital I stayed at the Best Western El Cid hotel which is in a good location, inexpensive ($50 or less per night) and the rooms have refrigerators. It's not the four seasons but has a pool and is in walking distance of the shops, etc. You don't need a passport but if you don't have one you need a drivers license and birth certificate. Dr. Aguirre and his wife ended up driving me from Ensenada to the airport in San Diego the day I left (over an hour drive). He is great! I spent about $300 on airfare, $250 on hotel and about $300 shopping! Good luck! Feel free to e-mail me if you have more questions.
