Calling All Dr Garcia Patients...
nurse05 replied to ready2bskinny's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Dont worry about the crime, there is crime everywhere and not one time did I feel afraid and I traveled alone. I walked to walmart bymyself and wasnt scared at all...I have been in places in the US that I was afraid of and would never venture out alone!!..I stayed at the Mariott and it is very safe and secure. You will not be in places where you need to worry...Relax and enjoy the ride..!! -

Researching Ready 4A Change -Dr. Garcia Tijuana - Anyone?
nurse05 replied to andre96's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never felt ignored with ready 4 a change....they were only a phone call away. I would prefer to Not have someone stopping by 2 to 3 times a day seeing me, if I needed them I would call. The marriott shuttle was very comfortable and no wait, they were very sweet and professional. Everyone at Ready 4a change bent over backwards to assist in any way they could. Samuel the driver was wonderful, picked me up at airport as soon as I landed and it only took us 1 hout to cross the boarder back to the states. Rosie came to see me at the hotel and called, Melie at the hospital, i seen her everyday...I never once felt ignored but taken very good care of. I would recommend ready 4 a Change to anyone!! -
