Hospital Mi Doctor is located just a few blocks from the U.S. / Mexico border where Mexico Bariatric Center operates. Hospital Mi Doctor, which translates to “My Doctor Hospital”, is a fully-equipped and technologically advanced facility specialized in high-quality bariatric surgery.
Just 20 minutes from San Diego airport, our surgical center has all the amenities that you can expect to find at large hospitals but with safety features that public hospitals can’t offer. As a private facility for our bariatric and plastic surgery patients, Hospital Mi Doctor is the ideal destination to undergo your weight loss procedure. Special features include an in-house radiology department, an endoscopy unit, four operating rooms, post-operative recovery suites, and COVID-19 protocols to protect and prevent the spread of Coronavirus.
On top of that, one major benefit of the Mexico Bariatric Surgical Center is having a dedicated Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This reduces any worries our patients have in the rare chance of ever needing it. Having one of the best bariatric-specialized hospitals according to International Standards of Excellence significantly boosts our success rates and outcomes while being able to handle difficult procedures.
