Dr. Garcia

[saffikeagan 8/31/13 48]

So, after about 3 hours of research (just beginning), I really liked the sound of Mi Doctor and Dr. Garcia. Now I've found out he's not with that hospital anymore. I haven't found any information on why he left/where he is now. Any feedback?

I am scheduled with Dr. Garcia for August 10th and just found out its now at Florence Hospital.

 

It appears to be bigger and nicer than MiHospital but I haven't had much time to check it out.

 

Alma made it sound like they switched because of that and they were able to get it for the same price as MiDoctor.

Why would you go t o Mexico? What is the difference?

It seems the Drs. in Mexico are as qualified as the ones in the US. Some people have stated that the care is stellar (above what you get in the US). And it's less than half the cost. My insurance won't cover it here in the US. I can wait till January and see if my company will change carriers and whether that carrier will pay. However, most won't. I've jumped through all the hoops. I've tried pretty much every diet out there. This last time I reached 100 over my recommended weight. Spent tons of money at Medifast, lost 50 and gained almost 30 back. I'm sick of this!

Dr Garcia is a wonderful doctor and his team is exceptional. I had surgery in February at Mi hospital but I totally wish that I had florence as an option at the time, it looks like an amazing facility. Definitely a new hospital with more up to date equipment from what I hear.

Good luck!

Dr. Garcia and his whole team are great. You won't be disappointed.

I also am going to Mexico and Dr. Garcia at florence. I could go through my insurance (Aetna) but with my plan I still have to pay 50 percent. I would have to jump through all of their hoops and be on a supervised diet for 6 months. I am going to Mexico because I want to have this surgery on my terms in my time frame. I did a lot of research as well. The doctors in Mexico have a lot more experience than the doctors and the states and Dr. Garcia also trains U.S. doctors on the procedure. Surgery in the states is outpatient and they do not do leak tests unless they feel there is a problem. In Mexico you have 3 leak tests before you even leave the hospital. I am totally confident in my decision and I wish everyone the best!!

I saw a post I can't confirm does angles hospital in TJ have a better leak detection than florence . The post said it cost an extra 60 sound cheap enough . Just wondering ?

Piece of cake...I went to Dr.Garcia in April and I can honestly say that Dr. Garcia & his team are top notch doctors and they take care of you at Florence!! Would do it all again if I had to...

I heard that Dr. Garcia changed to florence because they are charging him the same as Mi Doctor, but the facility is newer and nicer.
