As I started my journey to weight loss surgery, the communication was amazing; the staff handled every part of the travel for me and made sure I was very comfortable. All the questions I had were answered really fast from the beginning. As I arrived in San Diego, our driver was already where we needed to be picked up for transport across the border.

I had a gastric sleeve performed by Dr. Hidalgo, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Even in the short time since my surgery, I already feel so much better both physically and emotionally. Dr. Hidalgo is truly skilled and compassionate, and I want to extend my deepest thanks not only to him but to the entire team at Hidalgo Bariatrics.

Recently had bariatric surgery with Dr Hidalgo. From start to finish, it was one of the easiest procedures.

They not only have a great driver who picks from the airport, but the staff also assisted me with details about what to eat and what meds not to take before surgery, but also sat with me through the whole process!
