I was very comfortable and felt like the staff really cared about me
During my consultation, the surgeon personally did the markings and was very honest about where the scars from my full arm lift would be and their visibility. The procedure went well. The staff was excellent. They all took very good care of me including the recovery, and I was very comfortable and felt like the staff really cared about me. I am recovering from the surgery on both arms and feeling better than expected. The clinic has stayed in touch with a clear aftercare guide and is easy to reach. My only point for improvement would be pre-operative communication; for example, I didn’t realize I would be spending the night in the facility. A quick review of those key details beforehand would be helpful. The only additional cost was for my compression sleeve, which I was advised of in advance.

I don’t know if this was part of the clinic’s responsibility but I didn’t have a lot of information beforehand. For example, I didn’t realize I would be spending the night in the facility. This could be my fault for not reading the instructions adequately but I don’t remember anyone pointing this out. It would be a good idea maybe just to go over those things with someone like me

I like how fast and easy it was from the start. The surgical facility was small but worked fine. I did not like the post op care. The night nurse was terrible. Her patients were not a priority. Post op care was not made clear. I would have preferred more detailed instructions on after care. I was left guessing about bandages, sprays, medications and scar treatment. Doctor repaired a hernia, of which I was grateful, but would have preferred to have price list in case this occurred so I could have been prepared financially. I felt like price was just made up. So I don't know if I was overcharged. I liked Mexicali as it was a nice quiet clean town. All in all experience was not bad and the price was affordable.
