I couldn't ask for any better

My medical team with carlos leading, was great. I couldn't ask for any better. From start to finish, he was always available. He speaks perfect English. He checked on me daily. The price quotes did not change. Dr aylana is very knowledgeable in his field. In the consultation he asked me what my expectations were. He didn't try to talk me into any procedures I didn't need. He was honest about what he could do. Having medical procedures abroad is different from the US. It is still safe for fraction of the price.

My medical advisor. My doctor. And Veronica at the beauty clinic.

Language barrier between nurses and patients. I did not like the faja that was recommended. Do not buy in tiajuana. Buy from Amazon. It's cheaper and fit better.

I wish I would have brought my own thermometer and blood pressure cuff. This way you can keep up with your vitals after surgery. Brought chux pads from the US.

Hospital fine, clean decent staff Got gynecomastia surgery, emintha into healing moderately okay results, had maybe grade one maybe grade 2 gyno, got glands removed as I was very lean, Surgeon made long incisions, along my chest, have two ling 3 Inch scars on either side of my nipples on both side of my chest Fland wasn't fully removed on my left side so have recurring gyno, Need steriod injection to help with scaring, surgeon isn't competent enough to go through the nipples to leave no scarring, Pictures they send of before and after are a lie, Probably look worse than before cant take my top off after, The response to this was get laser treatment or steriod injections Sub par save your money go somewhere else Probably the same for most procedures they do

Just terrible really

Terrible surgeon. Will not take the time to speak with you, when he does he knows limited English and is very very rushed. The first time me he gave me results that were so drastic I looked like a pig or someone from who-ville. I had to pay for a second surgery for him to give me my old nose but even worse! (Again super rushed, had zero time to make a decision). Absolutely awful experience. Scary. He refused to even try to fix my nose now for another 6 months. Even though I offered to pay again. Have to date and see friends humiliated with a half finished face. Go to someone with talent and who actually cares. He doesn’t. You are just a number to the surgeons there.

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.

About Bookimed service

Bookimed team was quick to respond. They were professional in getting me several quotes for procedures. I am grateful for their assistance.

Make sure your very clear on needs and expectations. Or they will nickel and dime you. Even though rides to and from border are included they will try to make to find your own way. After your surgery, no before, Will offer you a ride option across border but then later charge you for it. Also charged separately for bandaging materials used after surgery !!?!? if you dont pay you are sent away with nothing. (No they dont bandage you up unless you pay extra after the surgery). Beware of carlo he is not a point of contact only marketing manager and has no place in your medical conversations or booking, he only convoluted things between the dr and the real point of contact making for a frustrating and less then enjoyable experience.
