My Bad experience with MBC, Dr. Lopez, Specialized Bariatrics. First of all it’s all very confusing. Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuna claim that with Specialized Bariatrics there is no middle man. But all phone numbers and everything lead to MBC. I never wanted to go through MBC because I did my research and I personally didn’t like this company. After having personal experience with them, I feel even stronger about my opinion! First of all, I was one of several of us that had to have a hernia repair. Of all the people that I met in the hospital and the hotel, there were only 2 that didn’t have a hernia repair and were not charged the additional $1000! We met several people that went with another company/doctor and of all of them, they had 1 person that had a hiatal hernia and was only charged $350! I feel like I am the victim of bait and switch! They dangled a price of $4200 under my nose, but I ended up having to pay $5200! They couldn’t keep it straight who I was and if I was a revision or not! Another lady that was a revision was also charged an extra $1000 for her revision! I’m just sorry that I didn’t go with the other company. They had visits from their surgeon at the hotel and they were checked on many times, taken shopping or if they needed anything one of the coordinators went and got it for them. I further don’t recommend this company because of the complications that they are not honest about telling people! They recently had yet another death, I found 2 previous but this one was more recent, and they have had several patients have to be taken by ambulance to San Diego! But you don’t find out about this stuff until after you get there and talk to people that live and work down there. Of course they would rather that you not associate with people that don’t work for them or even to associate with patients of other doctors. Stay away from this company! Maybe there is a reason that 2 of their doctors are no longer working for another company! I only know that if I was the one making the decisions, I wouldn’t have them working for my company! This is just my opinion, but I feel that I was taken advantage of!
