I am new here and am researching where to go in Mexico. Having been reading through these forums for the last few days it seems like the argument is between Dr. Aceves and Dr. Reyes. Quite a few people have posted saying they went to Dr. Reyes but only a few people have said they went to Dr. Aceves. Has anyone been to Dr. Aceves recently and have an experience to share? It looks like the biggest complaint with Dr. Reyes is the chance of infection. Are there any other issues that might be of concern with choosing Dr. Reyes? Sorry to stir up the waters but I have a 7 yr old and a 5 yr old that depend on me and I need to go the safest route. Thanks so much for your information and help. --Pam

I am considering between Dr. Aceves and Dr. Zapata. The only reason I am not all out for Dr. Aceves is that it is much further of a journey for me. I can be in Monterrey within a few hours and get a friend to take me. But if I go with Dr. Aceves I have to drive myself to San Antonio catch a flight then ride 2 hours to the hospital and then do the same backwards to get home. I will also have to pay for my friend's flight there and back and I am already paying for his passport. My friend lives in San Antonio so it is complicated to have him drive here to pick me up to drive me back to San Antonio to catch a flight. I am not sure if I should be driving myself 2 hours to get from San Antonio to home only a few days after surgery? Has anyone been to Dr. Zapata for this surgery recently? I am having a tough time finding many posts about him and I am sure at least half of them is people getting paid for it. Part of me feels that the fact that people are not posting about this surgeon should help me decide against him. But the few comments I have seen are good.

Thank you I went ahead and sent an email and am waiting a reply. =) Thanks so much guys. You have all been wonderful.

The email form to contact them is not working unfortunately. I think the only way to contact them is through phone.

Did you guys use a patient coordinator or did you work through him directly? If you used a coordinator what was your experience with them and who did you use. (Any links to sites would be helpful.) Thanks in advance! --Pam

Thanks! =) You guys have been most helpful.

Thank you Kris and about how much does the VS package cost?

Thanks so much for your quick responses. Rosebud that breakdown is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a ton!! I was worried about how I would find where to go but being picked up at the airport and dropped off there is awesome news. I understand from your post that you spend one night at a hotel and the entire trip is about 5 days. Barring any complications that is. If you need to stay an extra day is that charged separately?

The surgery / recovery aside it looks like the experience with Dr. Reyes is very safe in general. With the escorts throughout your stay. Is the same true for Dr. Aceves? Also, I have been unable to find a site for Dr. Aceves that lists how many days in the hospital will be required and if you are placed in a private hotel room for some of your stay. Is hotel included in the package? I cannot seem to find any pricing information about Dr. Aceves. Thanks again for all your help.
