Carlo was amazing! He made sure I knew exactly what to expect every step of the way. There was always someone at the hospital who spoke English, and everyone there made my stay comfortable. Carlo even checked up on me once I was home through my recover several times. I will admit I was scared at first about leaving the US to have the surgery but I’m so glad I did it!

I had a full hysterectomy last month at Hospital de la Familia. I feel like a new person! The hospital was very nice with private rooms, even my husband was able to stay with me! All of the nurses were super sweet and helpful. Maritza was a joy to work with and made the whole process very easy. Muchas Gracias Dr Llamas and staff! So grateful to have found you 🙏😊

I love this hospital and all it’s personal. They are one awesome team of professionals that know what they are doing and know how to make you feel welcomed and safe.. Their prices are very affordable and the hospital is a 5 star 🌟 I was very happy with all my procedures done here at the Hospital de la Familia. I have gone twice in the last 2 years and my out come on the procedures have been awesome! I recommend this place if your looking for professionalism, quality work and awesome services at a very affordable price. Carlo is awesome to work with and he is there for you every step of the way, and if you have questions Carlo has answers, also Dr Sariñana is an amazing physician that knows his stuff and goes out of his way for his patients.
Thanks for everything that your team has done for me to help me out with my health and my physical appearance!!! I will definitely be going back for any and all of my future procedure needs..

I received life changing treatment and care. Dr. Seriano (forgive the spelling) performed my gastric sleeve surgery superbly. The staff members were very attentive and went above to help me understand since my Spanish is very limited.

The experience was amazing I basically got anything I needed and everyone was very nice, although I am vegan and they couldn’t make any food vegan for me but other than that everyone was very nice and professional and the driver took me to some vegan places in mexicali and I was able to see the city. The surgery I had went really well, and the doctor was able to answer all of my questions. It did help that I speak Spanish but if you dont there’s a translator by your side when ever you need her. The room was very clean and you get your own personal bathroom and around the clock kitchen staff when ever you’re hungry. Overall it was a great experience and I wouldn’t mind doing this all over again also try to explore a lil the food here is great and they have have starbucks.
