Dr. Lopez is amazing! He is kind, and courteous and gracious. I had written down a list of questions lol, and he didn't miss a beat. He walked me through the process and what my husband and I liked the best is his humble nature. He isn't presumptuous or acts like he doesn't have time for you like so many of our doctors back home.
His staff is wonderful! From the guy who sweeps the hospital, to the night nurses who smile encouragement. To his surgical staff that are right by his side. The genuinely care about each and every patient. It was an amazing experience. I am going for my post op check up this week back in Canada. I feel great, my incisions are coming along nicely....to my limited knowledge of incisions that is =)
We were lucky enough to get the greatest group of patients ever!!! We made lifelong friends and the Marriott in Tijuana was wonderful. I couldn't believe how clean and beautiful everything was! I would highly recommend Dr. Lopez!
The only things that you HAVE to pack is....low sodium chicken broth packets for the airport, crystal lite, a thermal heat pack for your back on night three (it gets a little sore), and gas x strips. Voila! You will be in tip top shape for the whole week. Ooh my one friend had nausea and she mentioned some dots that she wished she brought for behind her ear....that being said, I had hiccups so, I lucked out.
