My experience with the surgeon, staff, and clinic has been very positive

If a friend was considering this, I'd tell them my experience with the surgeon, staff, and clinic has been very positive. At this point in my recovery, everything is feeling about as expected. The clinic team has stayed in touch, and I really appreciated that there were no additional expenses on top of what I initially paid. That was a relief. My main piece of advice would be to prepare well for your consultation. I would suggest asking for more time with the doctor before surgery and to bring pictures of what you’d like done specifically to make sure you're aligned.

I was assisted from beginning to end! Great price with a great and safe experience.

This doctor is AWESOME

My biggest concern going into this was the recovery, especially after combining all four procedures. And it is tough. The diastasis recti repair is still very tender, and my biggest mobility challenge is just getting out of bed. It’s a slow process. That said, I can already see an amazing difference in my waist, and my entire torso, which makes the discomfort feel purposeful. This doctor is AWESOME. The support from the surgeon and the entire team was excellent. My most practical advice for other moms is that consistent help is essential for childcare. You will not be able to manage it alone.

This doctor is EXCELLENT. He’s certified, he’s up to date on all treatments. He is judicious and skilled at not just the Sufi al techniques but the aesthetics of the craft. His personality is calm and kind and his staff is supportive. I have had two procedures with him over these past three months and plan to make him ‘my doctor.’ Love this clinic!

Honestly, not really anything except for maybe a clearer structure of post-op recovery therapies and a liaison service or someone to help schedule them efficiently.

Even with initial swelling, the contouring from my full abdominoplasty and liposuction on my flanks is already so much better than expected

The thing that surprised me most was seeing my new waistline so early in the healing process. Even with initial swelling, the contouring from my full abdominoplasty and liposuction on my flanks is already so much better than expected. Recovery has its challenges. For me, the hardest part is that the drains are annoying, but I know that's temporary and part of the journey. My new belly button is healing nicely, which was a relief. The entire team at the clinic was excellent, from the surgeon to the nursing staff. It’s been a solid process so far.

I had a great experience with Dr. Marroquin and staff.

I was not given correct information about the required duration of my stay after surgery. I was also told I needed to lose a significant amount of weight after I booked the surgery and paid the deposit. I had already arranged my flights and hotel and had to reschedule because there was no possible way to lose that amount of weight in the original time frame.

I feel I was in very capable hands

My biggest worry was the recovery process, but everything has been managed so well. The surgeon and staff were incredibly supportive and professional throughout. My laparoscopic procedure went smoothly, leaving me with fewer than ten sutures, and I can see my incision is already healing perfectly. Of course, I’m still very tired, and daily activities like bending or lifting are the main challenge for now, which is to be expected. I feel I was in very capable hands. Based on the care I received, I would definitely suggest this clinic to anyone.

I was helped from start to finish with ongoing, clear communication. I felt safe and in good hands throughout the process.

The only comment would be that the nursing staff didn’t all speak English so having a good introductory knowledge of Spanish was necessary.

Service provided was 1000/10

The staff at the hospital were all attentive to my needs and offered excellent service. Even though sometimes there was a communication barrier, they all provided me with the best treatment possible tending to all my needs. They were empathetic and sympathetic. I would recommend this hospital for any procedure you might need. The comfort level and cleanliness of the rooms was great. The fact that a family member could stay with you while you recover was indeed a nice touch as you need a familiar face during this time. Overall, my experience was superb and I would recommend hospital and doctor with his support staff. Service provided was 1000/10.

Service and care provided by hospital staff was excellent.

The clinic was spotless—everything deserved a 5/5 rating

My biggest concern going into this was the pain, but the intravenous administration of embryonic stem cells was managed so well that I have no pain left. The surgeon and staff were professional and attentive, and the clinic was spotless—everything deserved a 5/5 rating. It's still very early, and while I haven't noticed any functional changes yet, it's a process.

If a friend asked me about this clinic for eyelid surgery, my answer would be an absolute no. I chose the traditional incision method for both my upper and lower lids, and the process has been concerning. My biggest challenge is dealing with dry eyes constantly, which is a persistent discomfort throughout the day. The incision lines are still quite red, but the aesthetic result is the most upsetting part. When I smile, you can clearly see how one side is different from the other. The lack of care from the surgeon and staff was palpable. I would not recommend this clinic to anyone.

The doctor did not need with me before the surgery to ask anything that I wanted. They did not do a good job on the surgery. I would not go back

The surgeon and all the staff at the clinic have been incredibly supportive

My biggest concern was not fully understanding the extent of the damage. Fortunately, the results of the imaging tests were very detailed and cleared everything up. The surgeon and all the staff at the clinic have been incredibly supportive. The only issue is that the treatments required to preserve the joint before proceeding with replacement are very expensive. I am still in the early stages of recovery and the pain is much the same, which is to be expected at this stage. It is a process. I am confident about the road ahead.

Mrs Bernaschia is empathetic and competent

I am pleased to be in a helping relationship with Anna from Bookimed. Our discussions lasted several months and she was always very accommodating and generous with her time. As for the rest of the treatment with Juventa, everything went according to plan. On the first day, I received 125 million cells and 6 billion exosomes in the IV (as planned), and 25 million in the joint of my thumb, which was full of osteoarthritis. On the second day, I received IV NAD and a subcutaneous placenta implant. Mrs Bernaschia is empathetic and competent. The work was carried out in a relational, professional and respectful manner.

I was very pleased with her methods and knowledge and I plan to see her again if i need further treatment

Dr. Isabella Bernaschina was very interested in truly helping me. She was very efficient and she has considerable experience in the use of stem cells for many different conditions. She believes in what she is doing and has used stem cells herself in the past. She also lives a very healthy lifestyle and encourages a healthy lifestyle to gain the most benefit from treatment. She simply practices what she preaches and she has a long history using stem cells and other modalities to benefit the health of her patients. I was very pleased with her methods and knowledge and I plan to see her again if i need further treatment. I could not ask for more dedicated attention. She followed up after treatment to see how i was feeling and seemed to sincerely care about how I felt after treatment.

About Bookimed service

Bookimed was very easy to work with and checked with me numerous times to be sure i was happy with the treatment scheduled and the details of travel to the clinic from the US. They checked on me more than once and right before my travel to Mexico for treatment. They checked on my travel and abominations and seemed to be sincerely interested if I was satisfied with all aspects of the travel and treatment.

The surgeon and staff were supportive throughout

My main concern going into this was how difficult the recovery would be, and it is definitely a process. The surgeon and staff were supportive throughout. For my extended tummy tuck, they created a new position for my belly button, and my abdomen feels very tight now, which is a good sign. While my stomach is already looking flatter, it's still swollen. The biggest challenge by far is just standing up straight. My advice is to make sure your home is prepared for you to heal and recover in comfort. It really helps. Also, measure yourself before purchasing any faja or compression gear, as the sizes differ so much across different sites.

My coordinator, Carlo, was amazing. He was prompt with answers to any questions. Surgeon, Dr Ayala was very personable and friendly. Staff at clinic was nurturing.

Maybe some post recovery snacks would have been nice.

I'm relieved to say my incisions are already well-hidden behind my ears

My biggest worry beforehand was about scarring and the recovery process. I'm relieved to say my incisions are already well-hidden behind my ears. The surgeon performed a deep plane lift, and the result so far is a jawline with noticeable new definition. My neck feels comfortably snug, not painfully tight. The hardest part of recovery has been sleeping elevated, which is to be expected but still challenging. Overall, the process with the clinic and staff was very straightforward. My one tip for others would be to prepare your kitchen in advance: get soft foods and melons, fresh fruits or steam-able vegetables like carrots. You'll want to take small bites at first.

The surgery had to be delayed because I was not feeling well right after arriving at my hotel. I came from outside Mexico for the procedure. We were able to do it a week later, and I stayed extra days for the reschedule. The staff is great and very personable. On the phone I spoke to and messaged the Doctor's personal assistant, and he speaks and writes great English. On the day of surgery, I stayed overnight following the procedure, and my night nurse had her phone set up so we could speak, translating questions, answers, and instructions back and forth. The dinner was beverages, yogurt, freshly made grilled chicken with steamed vegetables, the morning breakfast was eggs, yogurt with melon for breakfast. I stayed in a private room. I saw Dr. Aguilera right after I was prepped for surgery by the anesthesiologist and two nurses, who introduced themselves. Dr. Aguilera met me in the operating room, before I was given the final dose of sleeping medication, and was the first person I saw, still in the operating room, when emerging from anesthesia. The following day, the doctor checked my sutures and gave me some advice about what to do and not to do, the following day. He was satisfied with my recovery, so my head and neck were wrapped up for the Uber ride back to my hotel apartment. We had a stove, microwave, dishes and a full refrigerator in the room where we were staying. This is so convenient for gel packs, fresh foods and juices. I felt extremely comfortable traveling home on a three-hour flight, 10 days after the operation. Based on my experience, Plan fourteen days, giving yourselves an opportunity to settle in will make for a much more gratifying experience. Mexico City is quite easy to travel around, and since it is high altitude, the best way to adjust is to see the city or neighborhood you live in as you prepare for your procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Aguilera; I am healing well, and I am happy with the results.

The internet reception is not good on the sidewalk in front of the building, probably due to the other tall buildings. Just make sure you have made any arrangements for pick-up in the office where the wi-fi is.

I will not hesitate again to recommend her to any of my friends and family

At first I was hesitant for the treatment in Mexico but after the meeting with doctor Isabella, my entire perspective changed. She is very knowledgeable, professional and personable. She will explain the treatment and procedure with you in detail. I will not hesitate again to recommend her to any of my friends and family. She will perform the procedure in the comfort of your own residency without having to travel to the clinic. This is very accommodating as it minimizes the interruption if or when you are on vacation. I will be following up with her in the coming months as she is now my go to doctor.

A very pleasant experience over all

I loved being in Puerta Vallarta. It was relaxing and a wonderful break from the awful vibes of the USA right now. Everyone was friendly and I was able to relax for the first time in a long time. It was easy to get there, the airport is really close, the buses are easy to navigate, the weather was great. The treatment was very comfortable, I had no side effects, and I worried for nothing. Now that I know what is involved I'll do more as I can afford it. A very pleasant experience over all

The location is wonderful the staff was very attentive and I felt ike I was in good hands

Well I'm not sure what the plasmapheresis did. I felt good the first few days after the treatments. Less joint pain, slightly less swelling in my face. But now I feel just like I did before the treatments. I know I also need to do stem cells but given that insurance does not cover any of this it's tough to manage all that needs to be done because it's way more money than I can scrape together. If only regenerative medicine was covered, something that works if done close together. But instead, insurance covers the toxic stuff like steriods and immuno suppressing drugs that I am not going to do, because of the debliitating and degenerative effects of it over time. Insurance doesn't cover much for neuro auto immune conditions.
