Fernando Garcia Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr. Garcia was wonderful. He greeted us all with a handshake and a hug, We were immediately put at ease. Initially, we were told by many to stay away from Tijuana ~~ WHY?? We had a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!! Dr. Garcia was very helpful, knowledgable, and worked wonderfully with our 16 year old daughter. He came in right after the surgery and took us to see her resting very comfortably. He made sure that his orders for her were complete, and that our daughter knew everything that was happening.

He told us what to expect, and he was right - yes she had nausea - a bit - and they controlled it quickly, and her pain was never an issue.

He showed us the stomach portion that he removed with the Vertical Sleeve Gasrectomy --- as a nurse and to see how "Clean" every thing looked on the removed portion, left no question to how "Clean" her nes stomach was.

Every one at the hospital was wonderful ... and Ricardo, our transport and care manager was wonderful!! My "sister" accompanied my daughter and I, and we were never fearful, had the BEST care I could ask for ~~ As a RN for nearly 25 years - I was impressed! The compassion, cleanliness of the hospital, the ability to understand, without a language barrier, and the care and competence of ALL the employees were over the top!

Our Daughter also had axillary Botox to stop her perspiration in her armpits -- What a GREAT and positive result she has had with that as well.

We are 6 weeks post-op and our daughter has lost 45 pounds, and hasn't sweat a drop!

Would I reccomend Dr. Garcia?? ABSOLUTELY.... Worth every penny of the money that we spent for a successful surgery.

We liked the Plastic Surgeon as well, He was marvelous, and in fact I wll be going back to Tijauna next summer for some personal plastic surgery myself ... What a GREAT PLACE to go that is so very affordable, and treatment is so good!
