The Value of Medical Tourism

While some may be skeptical at first of undergoing a major surgery in another country, medical tourism has many advantages that make the journey undeniably worthwhile. The biggest benefit is that certain surgeries in the United States, including bariatric surgery, can be prohibitive in terms of cost. This means many of the patients who most need surgery do not pursue it because their insurance doesn’t cover it or they simply cannot afford the high fees associated with the procedure. Instead of receiving the life-saving care they need, they may instead continue to endure symptoms and comorbidities that significantly lower their quality of life. 

 At Tijuana Bariatric Center, we understand your trepidation but want to reassure you that our board-certified surgeons are among the most highly trained and vetted in the region. Our team of experienced professionals has performed over 10,000 successful bariatric procedures. We adhere to the most stringent international safety guidelines and work out of state-of-the-art hospitals in Tijuana, all equipped with among the most cutting-edge technology on the market.

Dr. Fernando Garcia and his team have a core mission of making bariatric surgery available to everyone who needs it, regardless of economic standing. No one should have to tolerate poor health, lowered self-image, inhibited mobility, and reduced energy associated with obesity.
