I traveled to Monterrey to have the gastric sleeve in July 2022. From the moment I arrived I experienced first class service. Nydia was absolutely amazing from pre op answering all my questions

Dr. Barrera was one of the most kind and respectful doctors I have ever met. He never made me feel FAT or ashamed.

I had such a great experience with Dr. Francisco Barrera and his whole team. From the coordinator Nydia, the nutritionist, the psychologist and his surgery team, we were amazed from start to finish!
