The contrast between the surgeon's skill and the staff's support was extreme. I was in the hospital for two nights for a laparoscopic gallbladder resection. The clinic itself was excellent, and my surgeon was very thorough, explaining the need for the procedure, the diet changes to expect, and he visited me personally after the operation. From that perspective, Everything was fantastic, professional. The nursing care was the main problem. The nurses were Not experienced nurses in taking blood samples. This was very disappointing. So far, my recovery is going about as expected, and there were no additional expenses beyond the agreed price. My advice is to bring your own water, use a translator, and hope the staff will be more helpful.

Based on my experience, I'd give this clinic a 10 for a recommendation
If you're considering this procedure, I found the process here to be very straightforward. The surgeon used bipolar cautery for the tubal ligation, leaving me with just three small holes that are all healing cleanly. It was a relief. The initial abdominal bloating went away completely, which was my main physical discomfort. My biggest recovery challenge has honestly been the fatigue that lingers, so be prepared to take it easy for a bit longer than you might think. The surgeon and staff were competent and professional. Based on my experience, I'd give this clinic a 10 for a recommendation.
The coordinator was very helpful, staff were knowledgeable and attentive, care was to a high standard.
