17 Reasons Why Patients Choose Mexico Bariatric Center

MBC-personalized-care

1. Personalized Patient Care

Every patient is assigned to one of our U.S.-based Patient Coordinators so you don’t get passed from person to person. This provides personalized support and creates a real relationship that most of our competitors don’t offer. Your Patient Coordinator will be by your side throughout the entire process.

2. Board-Certified Bariatric Surgeons

We work with the best bariatric surgeons in all of Mexico. Out of only nine board-certified surgeons in Tijuana, Mexico Bariatric Center has three of them working exclusively on our team. Most of our surgeons have trained in the U.S. and each of them has lower complication rates than what is recorded in the United States.

3. Daily Surgery Limit

Our Board-Certified Surgeons are limited to no more than 4 surgeries per day (in most cases only 3). Nearly all of our competitors, or any facility in general, do not place surgery limitations on their surgeons, which usually leads to higher complication rates for patients. This is one of the major reasons we have such a high success rate.

4. Experienced in All Types of Weight Loss Procedures

We always have your desired surgeon perform the entire surgery, which so many other providers don’t. Instead of an assistant, intern, or surgeon in training performing your procedure, we never put profit over your life and safety. MBC’s skilled team of surgeons is experienced in Laparoscopic and Endoscopic procedures – Gastric Sleeve, Endo Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, Duodenal Switch, Gastric Balloon, and Revision of Failed Surgeries.
